How Loetje streamlines restaurant operations with unTill Prime POS
From Amsterdam café to nationwide restaurant brand
What began in 1977 as Café Loetje, a billiards café in Amsterdam, has evolved into 36 successful restaurants across the Netherlands.
Apart from the renowned steak in gravy, Loetje attributes its success to the recognisable and familiar ambiance that guests consistently experience during their visits. This is also the case in the city of Breda, where the 20th Loetje location is established.
Creating the best hospitality experience with unTill
For over 45 years, Loetje has been serving the finest steak with real passion. That's what guests taste and experience. Regardless of the location, every Loetje restaurant provides guests with a familiar experience, fostering repeat visits. ‘With unTill, we’ve found a highly reliable solution for our POS system.
This allows our staff to optimally focus on welcoming our guests. unTill provides a quality POS system, lightening the workload and supporting staff in their daily tasks. This, in turn, contributes to overall job satisfaction’, says Marouane el Hayani, Manager ICT at Restaurant Company Europe.
What makes unTill and Loetje a great fit
Loetje has been working with unTill since 2015. The restaurant group chose unTill for its reliable POS software and wide range of API integrations that support the unique needs of a growing hospitality brand.
One of the key strengths of the collaboration is the shared focus on innovation and flexibility. With dozens of locations across the Netherlands, Loetje continuously looks for smarter ways to improve operations and elevate the guest experience.
Thanks to unTill’s open approach and fast implementation of new ideas, operational insights can quickly be transformed into practical solutions that support efficiency, consistency and growth across every location.
“unTill Prime adapts to the way we work — not the other way around.”

Smart POS features for smoother operations
Jord Kierkels, location manager at Loetje Breda, values the practical tools within unTill. Features such as the messaging module and daily inventory updates help the team avoid miscommunication and keep service running smoothly.
The system also makes table management and menu organisation more efficient. Reservations can quickly be linked to tables, while popular dishes and drinks are prioritised for faster ordering. Together, these tools help optimise the daily workflow across the restaurant.
