Barnes Technology Limited · UK
Software that makes
Software that makes
places work.
A UK holding company building and operating software products for retail, hospitality and attractions.
Three sectors. One throughline — software for places where people show up in person, on a schedule that the business doesn't fully control.
01
Attractions & leisure
Theme parks, visitor attractions, festivals — places where the experience is the product and queues are the tax.
02
Hospitality
Restaurants, bars, hotels and the patchwork of forecourt and convenience operations that sit alongside them.
03
Retail
Physical retail with operational complexity — multi-site, stock-led, staff-dependent. The work that doesn't show up on a marketing dashboard.
Barnes Technology operates a small portfolio of focused software products. Each one solves a specific problem in a specific place — the shops, restaurants, forecourts, parks and attractions where people arrive, spend time, and leave with something useful done.

More to come
The next venture announces when it's ready. We add a product to the portfolio when the problem is real, the route to value is clear, and we can operate it well for the long term.
We are a holding company that builds products, ships them, and operates them. Each venture has its own brand and its own product surface; the parent company carries the operational standards, the engineering practices and the long view.
We move at the pace the problem deserves. Some weeks that means a release a day. Some weeks it means saying no to features and listening to people in the parks, the restaurants, the shops.
