Welcome to the Q3 edition of the BlueStar Retail & Hospitality Newsletter! This quarter, we’re turning the spotlight on the diverse world of hospitality—with a special focus on the unique tech solutions cafés rely on. Whether it’s a cosy coffee shop, busy bakery, or a quick and efficient drive-thru, cafés face their own set of challenges and tech needs.

We’ve teamed up with fantastic partners to showcase innovative products and fresh perspectives designed to help you grow your café business.
Café technology isn’t one-size-fits-all.

That’s why this edition focuses on niche tech that really makes an impact—from compact, reliable receipt printers and integrated POS systems to mobile ordering and cloud integration. Stay tuned for practical tools that not only help you serve your customers better but also support expanding your customer base.
