allO Raises $14M Series A Led by Zigg Capital to Scale the First AI-Native Operating System for Restaurants

Munich-based allO today launches its Reservation and Ordering Agent, the first of more than ten digital employees on its roadmap over the next 12 to 18 months.

MUNICH, Germany – May 2026 – allO, the AI-native operating system for restaurants, today announced $14 million in Series A funding led by Zigg Capital with participation from new investors LifeX Ventures, Aperture, and Wecken & Cie., alongside continued support from 20VC, which led the company’s 2024 seed round, and existing investor Keen Venture Partners, which first backed allO at the pre-seed stage and has doubled down across three consecutive rounds. 

Angels in the round include Fabian Siegel (co-founder of Marley Spoon), Mark Ransford (fintech angel and backer of Flatpay, Payhawk, Zego, and Wayflyer), and Ludwig Fuchs (founder of Realtime Technology AG, which he scaled to 750+ employees and took public). Joining the board and advisory board: Elizabeth Chrystal (Principal at Zigg Capital, ex-CFO of Momofuku), Cornelius Everke (ex-management at Starbucks, Vapiano, and Burger King Germany), and Matt Baumgartner (ex-Product Director at Toast).

Co-founded in late 2020 by Cancan Liu, Teodor Rupi, and Benedikt v. Lewinski, allO started as a scan-to-order solution during the pandemic.The founders quickly saw that the real problem wasn't ordering. It was the underlying tech stack. Incumbents had little reason to fix it, because independent restaurants were too small to matter to them.The team rebuilt allO as a POS and payments platform with scan-to-order built in. In 2024 they extended it across the front-of-house and back office.

Today allO serves over 1,000 active restaurant locations across Germany, from neighborhood spots to multi-location local chains. Locations are up 6x and revenue 3.5x year-on-year since the seed round, with 30% of new customers now coming through referrals. Setup takes under 30 minutes on allO, compared with two weeks on legacy POS. Owners who used to reconcile revenue across five separate systems now see everything in one dashboard.

allO started with ethnic cuisine, which makes up roughly 70% of Germany's restaurants and has been the most under-served by legacy software. Off-the-shelf systems were never built for multi-language teams, complex modifier menus, mixed dine-in and delivery channels, or varied payment behavior. allO is now expanding to any cuisine with the same operating realities: complex workflows, chronic labor shortages and tight margins.

“Before allO, running 13 locations meant constantly being on the road just to know what was happening in my own business. Now I open my phone and see how every restaurant is performing on one dashboard,” said Peng, owner of Ledu, a 13-location Chinese restaurant group in Munich.

“What impressed me most is how deeply allO connects data and workflows across our business. Letting a guest buy a gift card at one location and redeem it at another – it sounds obvious, but not even the big international chains can do it in Germany. allO made it possible for us.” said Aslan, owner of Mozzamo, a four-location group in Munich.

Digital employees, not dashboards

Alongside the funding, allO is launching its Reservation and Ordering Agent, the first of more than ten digital employees planned over the next 12 to 18 months. The voice agent answers every incoming call and pushes reservations and takeaway orders directly into allO's system. 

Next on the roadmap: 

• The Inventory Agent, which autonomously places supplier orders and tracks consumption, work most independent restaurants give up on today,

• The Menu Agent, which updates menus across every channel in seconds while continuously testing for margin and sell-through.

“Restaurant owners are the perfect user group for AI. They want the work done.They don’t want to learn another piece of software. Most aren’t tech-savvy, and they shouldn’t have to be,” said Cancan Liu, Founder and CEO of allO. “We leverage our all-in-one platform to build digital employees that get the job done for them, instead of teaching them how to press buttons.”

“We used to run an old POS and a separate kitchen monitor, with two more tablets for delivery platforms. The kitchen was managing parallel workflows. With allO, everything flows through one system. It saves enormous time training staff, the kitchen prepares more efficiently, and guests get a noticeably better experience,” said Marc Übelherr, founder of Kneipe 80 and one of Germany’s most well-known restaurateurs.

“allO is the system I wish I had as an operator at Momofuku: not just a superior point-of-sale, but an autonomous operating system that can transform a restaurant’s business. While most AI tools see only a sliver of a restaurant’s data, allO sees everything – and that’s what makes truly autonomous operations possible. We believe allO will define this category in Europe and beyond,” said Elizabeth Chrystal, Principal at Zigg Capital.

allO will use the new capital to expand across Europe and accelerate the rollout of its AI-powered digital-employees.
