Our story

LOKE has delivered technology to 1,000’s of operators globally

In 2014, LOKE was founded in Adelaide, Australia, by two foodies who believed in the power of food and drinks to connect people: Matt Khoury & Tom Booth.

Matt was six years old when he started helping in the kitchen of his family’s restaurants, cafes, and takeaway stores. He has Lebanese roots, so hospitality is in his DNA.

Tom’s passion for cooking, eating, and hosting comes from his Greek heritage. His famous BBQ lamb has been gathering friends and family for years.

 

Matt and Tom’s shared values cemented their friendship years ago and inspired LOKE’s purpose. A humble dream with a big ambition; to build communities and empower hospitality businesses to unlock their full potential with the help of technology.

 
 

Our teams all share the same spirit! We have visited thousands of venues, gathered feedback and tested solutions based on real experiences. As LOKE expanded, so did our people. Their talent and passion for the business allowed us to become pioneers in contactless mobile payments. And together, we’ve set out to solve some of the age-old issues faced by the industry worldwide, evolving and keeping abreast of new trends to offer the best and most innovative solutions.

Since our humble beginnings, we have attracted major hospitality brands globally. Our clients are our greatest pride. When they win, we win. Their enthusiasm and trust are our everyday motivation and constantly push us to learn and grow.

 
 

We’ll always remain true to our core values, and will keep adapting and taking our chances to reshape the hospitality industry of today and tomorrow.

 

Our values

  • When you work with LOKE you join a family — Our success is defined by our collective achievements; not just the LOKE team, but our customers, our partners; anyone who wants to join in! We put people first.

  • We are solutions-orientated — We were the first in our space. We innovate every day to provide the best and most relevant tech and marketing solutions to the hospitality industry. We aren't afraid to step outside of our comfort zones and get our hands a bit dirty to explore untapped ideas.

  • We believe that flexibility unlocks greater productivity – Don’t wait for permission. We want our employees to try new things. We empower our teams to work in the most efficient way for them and flex their style to adapt to the ever-changing world of hospitality.

 

  • The end goal matters – We’re a scale-up and we have clear goals (we call them ‘Game Changers’). To us, actions speak much louder than words. We’re in the business of making memories in hospitality, and in order to do that, we have to stay resilient and focused.

  • Everybody is welcome! – Inclusivity is central to our culture. We strive to represent the customers we serve every day. We make sure all voices are heard – especially those that differ from the majority. Every topic can be discussed, and no one is out of reach.
