DotDot Global Inc. (DOTDOT) is a Taiwan-based SaaS technology company founded in 2019 that provides a comprehensive turnkey platform for the food and beverage (F&B) and hospitality sectors.[1] Its core product, DDpay, enables restaurants to manage online orders, food delivery channel integration, network management, CRM, and digital payments via innovative QR code ordering technology, serving over 15,000 businesses to boost operational efficiency, turnover, customer satisfaction, and profitability.[1] Targeting the Taiwan market primarily, DOTDOT has raised approximately 14 million TWD in Series A funding, employs around 90 people, and operates at a maturity stage with strong market leadership in restaurant tech solutions.[1]
DOTDOT was established on October 23, 2019, in Northern Taiwan by CEO Ting Hsieh and COO Bogi Huang, who recognized the need for streamlined digital tools in Taiwan's restaurant industry.[1] The idea emerged from introducing QR code ordering—the first of its kind in Taiwan—addressing fragmented operations in F&B amid rising online ordering demands.[1] Early traction came quickly, evolving the company into a SaaS leader with significant wins, including adoption by thousands of venues and securing Series A funding to scale its disruptive platform.[1]
DOTDOT rides the wave of digital transformation in Asia's F&B sector, where post-pandemic shifts to online ordering and contactless payments have exploded demand for integrated SaaS tools.[1] Timing is ideal in Taiwan's mature yet fragmented restaurant market, where labor shortages and delivery competition favor efficient platforms; DOTDOT capitalizes on this by simplifying multi-channel ops amid rising e-commerce penetration.[1] It influences the ecosystem by setting standards for QR-based innovation, enabling smaller venues to compete with chains and fostering a more profitable, customer-centric industry.[1]
DOTDOT is poised for regional expansion beyond Taiwan, leveraging its Series A momentum and proven model to target Southeast Asia's booming F&B digitalization.[1] Trends like AI-driven personalization in CRM and deeper delivery integrations will shape its growth, potentially amplifying its 15,000-client base amid global SaaS adoption in hospitality.[1] As a market leader in QR tech, its influence could evolve into a dominant player, empowering more restaurants to thrive in a delivery-dominated world—starting from its disruptive Taiwan roots.
