About Andromeda
Formed in 1999 by Ben Portsmouth and Ben Cole, Andromeda has been designed by restaurant people, for restaurant people. Mr. Cole and Mr. Portsmouth were employed in multiple roles by the Pizza Hut system in the UK and used that unique perspective to design a system that truly works the way operators need it to. This approach has led to major roll outs of the software by some of Europe-s leading restaurant chains. Since incorporating, the company has grown to the point where it now has offices in the UK, France, India, Bulgaria and customers in 11 countries around the globe. Significant growth is forecast for 2012 and 2013 with the launch of the North and South American division.
