## Holt

Status: Closed-beta MVP.

A landlord control centre: tenancy records, document checks, guided assistance and evidence packs. The first phase of a wider rental trust platform.

## Queenie's Mayflower

Status: Website live; app in release preparation.

## Bento Ordering

Status: In development / demonstrated flow.

A direct ordering platform for takeaways: checkout, restaurant acceptance and diner tracking. Being developed as a migration option for businesses moving away from GloriaFood.

The June 2026 recorded demo follows menu selection, modifiers, Stripe test payment, restaurant acceptance and a tracking update. This is development evidence, not a claim of a live merchant rollout or a completed migration.
