Why we invested in Honei? - Transforming the Restaurant Experience (and Beyond)

At Decelera Ventures, we back founders who understand that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. Honei is reinventing one of the most universal experiences: ordering and paying at a restaurant. Their mission is simple but powerful—to make everything smoother, faster, and more rewarding for both customers and staff.

The Challenge: A Smoother Dining Experience

Ordering and paying at a restaurant shouldn’t be slow, awkward, or confusing. Yet in 2024, many diners still face long waits and servers still work with outdated tools.

Honei solves this with a two-sided approach: on the customer side, they offer a QR-based ordering and payment system, allowing guests to manage everything from their phone. On the operations side, they’ve developed a smart POS for waiters that radically improves service. Whether it’s splitting the bill, paying only for specific items, or closing a table in just a few taps—Honei makes it effortless.

Beyond Payments: Loyalty That Builds Real Relationships

Honei is also rolling out a royalties-based loyalty program that helps venues turn one-time guests into regulars. This rewards system makes every visit count—creating long-term value for both users and restaurants. In a hyper-competitive industry, Honei offers a real, measurable advantage.

Why We Invested in Honei

At Decelera Ventures, we invest in teams that combine vision, execution, and soul. Bernat and Sergi haven’t just built a powerful tool for the hospitality sector—they’re creating a platform with the potential to scale across industries. Their obsession with product, user experience, and sustainable growth won us over from day one.

Bernat: The Builder Who Never Sleeps

Bernat can ship a feature in 16 hours—no exaggeration. He literally codes in his sleep. With a mind that runs on logic and a heart full of curiosity, he turns complex ideas into beautifully simple solutions. He also owns a pet that would die if it touched a drop of water (yes, really). Bernat is the technical engine behind Honei’s constant evolution.

Sergi: The Storyteller with a Pitch for Everything

Sergi pitches startups the way most people order food—naturally, confidently, and with flair. Obsessed with specialty coffee, he wakes up two hours early just to make two perfect cups. He’s also a professional fly-hunter, known for taking out bugs (both insect and software) with surgical precision. His attention to detail ensures Honei delivers a top-notch experience to every user.
