Arlington, VA —January 14, 2026 — Qu, the pioneer of the restaurant industry’s first unified commerce platform, today announced that OAKBERRY, a global leader in premium açaí and smoothies, has selected Qu to support the brand’s U.S. rollout.
Technology Built for Scale
From the guest experience to kitchen operations, Qu’s platform equips OAKBERRY with:
- POS + Notify: Provides managers with real-time performance insights, custom alerts, and mobile reporting, allowing franchisees to monitor KPIs and make decisions from anywhere.
- Kiosks: A hybrid setup of standalone and Qu Flex units gives guests control over their orders while easing staff pressure during peak hours. Other Qu customers report kiosks paired with cross-sell tools average up to 22% higher check sizes than counter service.
- Kitchen Display System (KDS): Standardizes kitchen workflows, reduces errors, and protects margins through improved order accuracy and prep times.
- Qu Business EdgeTM™: The industry’s first AI-enabled edge computing platform for restaurants, delivering 99.99% uptime and ultra-fast order processing — even during internet or cloud outages. Nicknamed QubeTM, it can support future-ready capabilities like predictive kitchen prep and real-time energy and equipment monitoring at the device level.
- Restaurant-first ecosystem: Qu is built to support a best-of-breed technology stack, enabling OAKBERRY to integrate leading platforms for digital ordering, loyalty, and labor while keeping core operations unified and stable as the brand grows.
Results That Scale
By deploying Qu, OAKBERRY is already achieving measurable gains, including:
- An easy-to-learn, gesture-driven POS that speeds employee onboarding by up to 75%
- Improved order accuracy and faster service across digital and in-store channels
- Operational continuity with Qube’s local processing
- Centralized control for multi-unit operations across the U.S.
OAKBERRY’s deployment of Qu comes as part of a broader expansion strategy. In 2024, OAKBERRY raised $67 million in Series C Funding, noting a focus on growth in the U.S. The brand currently operates more than 50 locations and has a development pipeline of more than 250 planned locations nationwide.
