Our Story

Our History

The Syrve story began in 2005, when our founder David Yan opened his very first restaurant. The restaurant was a huge success. So much so that three new restaurants were opened shortly after. But growth and expansion didn’t come easy.

By this time, a range of different technologies were available to support and facilitate development within the hospitality industry. Yet these technologies were riddled with flaws. In particular, there was a notable disconnect between the daily record keeping of operations, and a need for real time profit and loss controls to effectively manage fast-paced businesses. And, as it turned out, David’s restaurants weren’t the only ones becoming frustrated with the limitations of restaurant tech.

Founding Syrve

David acted quickly, teaming up with Max Nalsky to combine Max’s background in finance and accounting with his own experience of running a network of restaurants. Together, they developed a real time, data-driven restaurant model and pioneered new ways to digitise and automate manual, labour intensive processes. This model was iiko, and it did what no other technology could at the time: seamlessly bring together all restaurant functions into a single, simple system.
