We didn’t want to build software.
We just wanted to run it.
We were 3 friends who dreamt of having a karaoke venue. But we had to build the system ourselves. And it changed everything.
The Search
We never wanted to build a panel. We wanted to rent one. But in 2023, the market gave us three terrible options. Sound familiar?
🦖 THE DINOSAUR
Outdated & Functionless.
(Looks like Windows 98)
“We can’t use it because it’s obsolete.”
🏢 THE CORPORATE
Too Expensive.
Costs a fortune monthly
“We can’t use it because we’d rather build our own.”
🧩 THE PLUG-IN
Just a Toy.
Not a real feature.
“We can’t use it because it’s a gimmick.”
We got sick of the compromise. We wanted Dynamic Pricing + Online Shop + Auto-Invoices and more.
Nobody had it all.
So we decided to stop complaining and start building.
The build
Myth:
“We coded it ourselves in a weekend.”
Reality:
It took 6 months, cost a lot of money, and we hired a whole software house.
But we had an unfair advantage. 15 years ago, we built our first booking panel from scratch.
We knew exactly what we needed. We knew where the other guys failed.
OUR OLD PANEL
OUR NEW PANEL
So we didn’t guess. We built. And when the first version was ready… we finally stopped being secretaries.
THE TIMELINE
2011
The Pionieer Era
No panels existed. We built our own.
2015
The Scaling Problem
2nd location. Old tech started cracking.
2022
The Limit
3 locations. 10-years-old tech. We hit the ceiling.
2023
The Switch
Karaoke time. Looked for a panel. Found nothing.
late 2024
The Birth
QLIO launched. Clean, fast, ours.
2026
The Offer
We refined it. Tested it. Now we give it to you.
OUR DEVELOPER TEAM
It took us 6 months to find the right team for the task. Most developers relied on standard solutions and problems, for which they can find answerds on GitHub. But those guys were different. They were eager to attack the challenge, as they looked at it as a learning opportunity. They not only made the panel, but came up with solutions, that made it work better and faster. And they do that to this day.
THE RULES
We are not developers. We are Owners. This is our code of conduct:
1.
LUCIDITY
If you have to ask “where is it?”, it’s in the wrong place.
2.
OWNERS FIRST
We don’t build for “users”. We build for profit and peace of mind.
3.
NO BLOAT
If a feature doesn’t make you money or save you time, we delete it.
We fixed our problem.
Now we want to fix yours.
We spent 15 years perfecting this tool. Now it’s yours. Stop being a secretary. Start being an owner.
* No credit card required. Just talk.
