Our history

What's next?
Today, Koust has more than 8,000 users, more than 20 partners around the world and a team that continues to grow! For the future, we have many surprises in store for you and we hope to continue on this promising path.
2020
We change premises
The team is growing once again, and Koust is moving its offices to much larger premises! A new step towards Silicon Valley...
New services
Two new modules have been developed to meet users' expectations. We have therefore extended our range of services by offering a hygiene option allowing the creation and execution of a cleaning plan, the recording of temperatures, oils, etc... And a traceability option, allowing the monitoring of food traceability, the management of allergens ....
2019
The beginning of partnerships
The first partnerships begin. The first connection is made with Zelty and Addition, two partners we are proud to still work with today. Then Gestixi, Connectill and many others... In 2021 we work with more than 20 partners.
Koust on the international scene
The company is developing internationally, initially in about ten countries. Today we are present in nearly 50 countries and we don't intend to stop there!
Restaurant chains
At the beginning of 2019 we decided to take on a new challenge, to develop Koust to meet the needs of restaurant chains. After several months of work the result is there. A collaboration with many chains and multisites then begins. Arkose, Mroc, Guys&Son, Black Sheep Coffee, Basilic and Co... and many others join the big Koust family.

2016
The creation of Koust
The project takes shape and in September 2016, the company Koust is created supported by the accelerator Ouest Startups of the French tech. Financed by the Brest, Lannion and Quimper technology parks. The carriers are selected on the basis of their skills, their motivation and the relevance of the project.
2014
The idea was born
It all started in Brélès at the end of Finistère. Jean-Luc LE GOFF has been a restaurant owner for more than twenty years. He could not find a tool to manage his restaurant in an optimal way.
OUR TEAM
The best team
Jean-Luc
Restaurant owner for 23 years
"Faced with the difficulty of controlling costs and the domination of suppliers, I devised a tool adapted to improve the gross margin.
This is how Koust was born in the heart of the kitchens, to improve the quality and profits of the restaurant.

A dynamic innovative
An online application accessible from any screen connected to the Internet.
A first version allows you to compare and control the purchase prices of raw materials, to calculate orders and the cost price of recipes
The second version is a controlling tool: it compares purchases with sales. Koust is connected to the cash register and allows to detect stock discrepancies as well as wastage.
The third version is a sales analysis tool: it highlights the popularity of dishes and their contribution to the margin in order to propose an offer that is relevant to the restaurant owner and his customers.
