Welcome to Vendion: Kava Kök & Bar Chooses the Full Experience with Vendion 360

It is with great pleasure we welcome Kava Kök & Bar in Sunne to the Vendion family! On October 1, 2026, they opened their doors with Vendion as their technological backbone. For a modern à la carte restaurant that puts the guest experience absolutely first, the choice of technology is crucial. It’s about giving the staff the right tools to deliver magic at the table, without getting stuck in clunky interfaces or running between different screens.

On their own website, they describe their vision crystal clear: "Kava Kök & Bar is opening soon – a place where taste, craftsmanship, and atmosphere meet. We create an experience built on carefully selected ingredients, well-balanced drinks, and a warm, inviting environment. Here, every visit should feel special, whether you come for a dinner, a glass in the bar, or an evening with friends."

To deliver on that promise, you need a platform that backs up the team one hundred percent. That is why they chose Vendion 360 – our all-in-one solution where every module interacts seamlessly in the exact same system.

The Hunt for the Modern Complete Platform

Starting a new restaurant involves thousands of decisions. One of the most important is which POS system and tech stack will drive the business forward. Micke Hallstensson and the team behind Kava Kök & Bar did thorough market research and looked at a variety of systems before making their decision.

The realization came quickly: the industry is full of older solutions and messy integrations where POS, booking, and staff management live in completely separate worlds. Micke was looking for something else. He wanted the power of modern technology, gathered in one place.

"We looked at pretty much everything on the market," says Micke Hallstensson. "What we quickly realized was that we didn't want to build a puzzle out of five different providers. We wanted a complete platform where the POS talks directly to the table booking and scheduling, without any delay. When we found Vendion, everything fell into place. It’s a modern system from the ground up, and having everything gathered in a single view means we can spend our time on the guests instead of administration."

With Vendion 360, Kava Kök & Bar gets exactly that. They handle their table reservations with our AI-optimized engine that maximizes occupancy through best-fit placement, while simultaneously managing their schedules and tip distribution in Vendion Personal. No double work, no data lost in transit. Everything lives and breathes in the same system.

All-in-One and a Seamless Flow in the Dining Room

For an à la carte restaurant like Kava, the flow in the dining room is absolutely critical. The staff must be able to take orders, send tickets to the kitchen, and take payments – smoothly and elegantly. Kava's setup is tailor-made for exactly this. In addition to a stationary POS and an extra iPad POS for flexibility, they have equipped their front-of-house team with our revolutionary Vendion AIO (All-in-One).

Vendion AIO is not just a standard payment terminal. It is the entire POS system running as an app on a handheld Adyen device. The waiter can take the order at the table, fire the ticket directly to the kitchen and bar, and take card payments in the exact same device. Plus, there is a built-in receipt printer. This means the staff never have to run back to a fixed terminal to punch in drink orders or fetch printed bills. A single device in the apron is all it takes.

Once the order is taken at the table, it is sent at lightning speed to the kitchen, where digital screens via our KDS (Kitchen Display System) have replaced the traditional, rustling paper tickets. This gives the kitchen team a calm and structured overview of all dishes, modifiers, and allergies.

AI-Driven Power from Day One

By choosing Vendion, Kava Kök & Bar also gains access to the sharpest AI features on the market, built right into the platform. Our Vendion AI works in the background to constantly optimize the business. Whether it’s AI Boss helping the restaurateur with sharp sales insights, or AI Waiter giving the staff quick answers on wine pairings directly in the mobile POS, the intelligence is there to elevate the experience.

In the staff system, this means that Micke and his team will soon be able to utilize AI schedule proposals. By analyzing the restaurant's own history, the system creates a complete draft for staffing with one click, adapted to sales patterns and working time regulations. It’s technology that saves hours of administrative headaches every week.

Let’s dive a little deeper into what this means for daily operations. With Vendion 360, the restaurant avoids the classic trap where staff have to learn three different interfaces. New hires at Kava Kök & Bar log into one single staff portal to see their schedule, clock in, and communicate with colleagues. When their shift begins, they are met by the exact same logic in the POS. This uniformity drastically reduces training time.

Furthermore, all transactions are handled through Vendion Inlösen, which means a consolidated, robust payment stream from all channels without the restaurant having to juggle separate acquiring agreements. Everything is paid out in one consolidated deposit. It is this type of frictionless operation that allows Kava Kök & Bar to focus one hundred percent on what they do best: delivering an unbeatable guest experience in Sunne. It’s clear that Kava is built by professionals, for guests who appreciate quality in every detail.

We at Vendion are incredibly proud to be part of Kava Kök & Bar's journey. When taste, craftsmanship, and atmosphere meet modern, AI-driven technology, magic is created. A warm welcome to Vendion, and best of luck with the opening this fall! #restaurant2026 #vendion
