Our Story
CEYRES was born from a simple observation: Sri Lankan businesses deserve world-class technology at local prices. Too many restaurants, salons, and hotels struggle with disconnected systems -- one for POS, another for ordering, another for bookings. We built CEYRES to unify everything into one powerful, affordable platform.
Our platform integrates point of sale, online ordering, service bookings, WhatsApp AI, payment processing, and ERP -- all managed from a single dashboard. Whether you run a small cafe or a multi-branch hotel chain, CEYRES scales with you.
Our journey
From idea to platform — here is where we are and where we are going.
The spark
After years running multiple businesses and stitching five different apps together every day, one conviction: Sri Lankan operators deserve a single platform that speaks their language, their currency, and their reality.
One backend, one data model
We refused to build another silo. Customers, orders, payments, inventory, drivers, bookings, loyalty — all in one cloud API so your POS, your website and your driver app share a single source of truth.
Eight apps shipped
Customer Superapp, Business, Driver, POS Retail, POS Restaurant, Services, Services POS, Kitchen Display — all built on the same platform, all native on iOS and Android (POS variants on Windows too).
Onboarding the first operators
Early partners across restaurants, salons, retail shops and courier fleets are going live on CEYRES right now. We sit beside them, configure the platform to their workflow, and stay on-call for the first two weeks.
AI dispatch + QR dine-in
Road-ETA routing for drivers, acceptance scoring, surge pricing, QR self-ordering from the table — the features that turn a platform into a competitive edge. Rolling out through the year.
Every Sri Lankan business in one app
From Jaffna to Galle, from family cafes to hotel chains. One login for your customers, one dashboard for owners, one driver pool on the road — in Sinhala, Tamil and English. That is the platform we are building.
Most Sri Lankan businesses are still running on spreadsheets, paper chits, and five different apps that don't talk to each other. We're building one platform that just works — in Sinhala, Tamil, and English — so owners can get back to running their business instead of running their software.
Why we built CEYRES
Three convictions that shaped every line of code.
Built by operators, not consultants
We ran the restaurants, hotels, and shops first. Every feature comes from a real problem we hit on a real shift — not a whiteboard in Silicon Valley.
Made for Sri Lanka, not adapted to it
Sinhala receipts. PayHere & WebXPay by default. Rush Bike / L / XL courier tiers. Poya-day rosters. LKR-native pricing. All of it, first-class — not an afterthought.
One platform, not five
Your POS, your website, your driver app, your WhatsApp, your wallet, your loyalty — one login, one bill, one data model. No more stitching five vendors together.
Our Values
What we care about, every day.
Ship small, ship often
Dozens of tiny improvements every week beat one massive release every quarter. Our customers feel the platform getting sharper in real time.
The customer's success is ours
We only grow when Sri Lankan businesses grow. Our onboarding, training, and support are free for that reason.
Speed is a feature
POS that lags loses the sale. Dispatch that hesitates loses the rider. We measure everything in milliseconds and obsess over the tail.
Data is sacred
Customer data belongs to the customer. We never sell it, never share it across tenants, never train AI on it. Full stop.
Local-first, globally sharp
Built in Colombo, for Colombo — but engineered to the standard of the best SaaS anywhere. No corners cut because we're "in Sri Lanka".
Respect the team on the ground
Cashiers, cooks, drivers, housekeepers — the people using our apps 10 hours a day. We design for them first, managers second, executives third.
