Let’s talk about what the future of hospitality looks like – toge
At EL&N, every detail matters. From beautifully curated spaces to thoughtful service moments, the brand has always been built around delivering a premium guest experience without losing sight of operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.
One year on from implementing KateMedia’s tabletop ordering solution, EL&N’s 2025 performance demonstrates how the right technology, when deployed with intention, can elevate both guest experience and commercial outcomes.
A Year of Measurable Impact
At EL&N, our focus has always been on delivering a premium guest experience while operating efficiently and sustainably. One year on from implementing KateMedia’s tabletop ordering solution, the results have reinforced that technology can enhance service without compromising our brand values.
Across 2025, KateMedia’s visual menus and intuitive ordering journeys played a key role in driving consistent commercial uplift across EL&N sites.
Across 2025, KateMedia’s visual menus and intuitive ordering journeys consistently delivered a 15–20% increase in average order value, alongside significantly stronger engagement with limited-time offers, with upsell performance increasing by up to 50% on promoted items.
By presenting menus in a visually engaging, guest-friendly format, EL&N was able to highlight premium items and limited-time offers at the right moment in the guest journey increasing discovery without feeling intrusive or transactional.
Supporting Teams on the Floor
Beyond guest-facing performance, the platform delivered meaningful operational benefits, particularly in supporting teams during quieter trading periods and across lower-volume locations.
Operationally, the platform enabled us to rebalance front-of-house workloads more effectively, contributing to an average 14% reduction in labour costs across selected sites, particularly supporting performance in lower-volume locations.
Rather than replacing hospitality, KateMedia enabled teams to work smarter, reallocating time and attention where it mattered most. The result was a more balanced front-of-house operation one that supported both commercial efficiency and team wellbeing.
Technology Without Compromise
A key principle for EL&N was ensuring that any digital solution enhanced, rather than diluted, the brand’s hospitality ethos.
Crucially, these results were achieved without relying on digital tipping or reducing service touchpoints. Instead, KateMedia has given our teams more time to focus on what matters most: delivering genuine hospitality and memorable guest experiences.
By removing friction from ordering while preserving human interaction, KateMedia helped create space for more meaningful guest engagement, not less.
Built to Scale
After a full year in live operation, the partnership has proven not only effective, but sustainable.
After a full year in operation, KateMedia has proven to be a scalable, commercially impactful solution that supports both our people and our long-term growth ambitions.
For EL&N, this means a platform that can grow alongside the brand supporting expansion, consistency, and performance without compromising identity.
Looking Ahead
Reflecting on the partnership, Manuel Costin, Country Manager at KateMedia, shared:
“Our partnership with EL&N continues to grow from strength to strength. These results show what’s possible when technology is implemented with purpose supporting teams on the floor while driving sustainable commercial growth. We’re proud of what’s been achieved over the past year and excited about what comes next.”As hospitality continues to evolve, the EL&N x KateMedia partnership stands as a clear example of how thoughtful technology adoption can deliver measurable results for guests, teams, and the business as a whole
ateMedia, the hospitality technology company revolutionising table ordering through its SaaS-first solutions, is proud to announce a new national partnership with Heavenly Desserts. Following a highly successful in-store trial earlier this year, Heavenly Desserts has signed an agreement to roll out KateMedia’s KATE Tabletop Kiosks across all UK sites.
The trial, which ran for 17 weeks, delivered measurable operational and commercial benefits for Heavenly Desserts, reinforcing the value of digital guest engagement in today’s market.
Key outcomes included:
- Increased Transaction Volume: Guests showed strong adoption of the digital devices, significantly shifting orders from traditional methods to kiosks. This reduced pressure on front-of-house teams and streamlined service.
- Enhanced Staff Tips: Thanks to intuitive tipping prompts, average staff tips increased substantially during the trial.
- Effective Upselling: The kiosks successfully encouraged customers to add suggested dishes and extras, increasing basket sizes and guest satisfaction.
Results were measured against like-for-like sales data before the trial.
“This partnership with Heavenly Desserts is another milestone in demonstrating how SaaS-driven ordering technology can deliver meaningful results for operators,” said Manny Costin from KateMedia MD.
“By reducing barriers to adoption, enhancing guest experiences, and improving operational efficiency, we’re enabling brands like Heavenly Desserts to innovate and grow sustainably.”
“We are always looking for ways to reduce guest friction, improve operational efficiencies but most importantly enhance the core of our brand – Genuine Guest Connection.The solutions we reviewed weren’t to be a replacement for service but rather an enhancement to service. Looking ahead to what restaurants will look like in 5 years, we found a solution in KateMedia that helps us achieve our commercial goals, stay ahead of the market and maintain focus on what’s important in an AI age – humans” said Wesley Williams Global Operations Manager.
The rollout marks an exciting step for both organisations as they continue to embrace innovation and respond to evolving customer expectations across the UK hospitality sector.

To further expand our impact and help restaurants improve their operations, our team of talented engineers has developed an essential addition to our product lineup – the Kate Self-Service Kiosk. These kiosks are designed to streamline ordering, enhance guest experience, and boost revenue, all while seamlessly integrating into existing restaurant ecosystems.
The Power of Self-Service in Hospitality
Self-service technology is rapidly transforming the hospitality sector, with leading brands like German Doner Kebab, Subway and Black Sheep Coffee already experiencing significant success with kiosks. Reports have shown that self-service kiosks can increase average order values by up to 30%, as customers tend to spend more when presented with personalised recommendations, upsell options, and a frictionless ordering process.
By reducing wait times and improving order accuracy, kiosks not only enhance customer experience but also optimise operational efficiency by allowing staff to focus on hospitality rather than transactional tasks. In an industry where labor shortages and rising costs present ongoing challenges, self-service kiosks offer a scalable, cost-effective solution for restaurants of all sizes.
