Miton GastroTech
We are Miton's team, which focuses on the digitalisation of gastronomy.
Why are we here
Thanks to new technologies and data-driven work, under the Piano brand, we are transforming Czech gastronomy to make it easier to run a business in it. Successful business = happy owner = happy guest.
Our values
We believe that quality food has the power to change lives. We build on sustainability, fair relationships and a love for our craft. We want food service to be healthy - for people, businesses, and the planet.
Our results
Our tools help restaurants, bistros, eateries, and hotels grow and operate efficiently. Last year, we handled more than CZK 36 billion worth of transactions, covering over 21% of the Czech food service market.
Who we help
We believe in connected gastronomy. We support those who make up its entire chain - from farmers and suppliers to chefs and guests. We help those who want to make gastronomy better.
"When I went to Miton, we were tuning up the MVP of Qerko and getting ready to launch at the first restaurant. Miton jumped into Qerko right out of the gate - not just with the finances, but with a proactive approach and strategic support. It wouldn't have been possible without such a partner. 💚"

Our vision
Piano: Striving for better gastronomy for guests and entrepreneurs
The entire industry has been undergoing significant change in recent years. Gastronomy still carries a technological gap that needs to be closed. At the same time, we see a generational shift bringing new needs and expectations into the business.
Running a hospitality business is also extremely demanding—not only in terms of time, but also in its complexity. We want people in the industry to focus on what they enjoy and what they do best. Hospitality should keep its human face, shaped by satisfied entrepreneurs. Everything else should be handled by technology.
Our goal is to be the ones who best understand and fulfill the technological needs of hospitality entrepreneurs. This idea led to the creation of the Piano group, which brings together key tools for the hospitality industry under one roof.
Our portfolio
Of the 230 billion spent in gastronomy in Czechia each year, one-fifth flows through Piano’s projects.

Tomáš Jiroušek
I see gastronomy as a sector that is structurally underinvested and, at the same time, extremely demanding on operational efficiency - that is why it offers room for meaningful innovation with real impact. My projects focus on growth strategy, financial management and investment evaluation, but I often go executive when there is a need to support change on the ground. I enjoy finding ways for technology and data to help businesses grow smartly and healthily - while creating an environment where every link in the chain has a clear value proposition.

Jakub Rafaj
Either we know, or we only assume—a well-conducted user survey saves money and reveals fundamental gaps in the market. Simply great design solves real problems at scale. And a healthy belly matters. That's also why I love being on the GastroTech team, where food plays a key role.

Czech hospitality is making up for its technology gap, and our projects can truly help owners with digitalization. But everything has to be communicated correctly—and that’s exactly the challenge I’m here for.
