Pye

In Honor of Pi Day: The Story Behind Pye Jegil remembers the first time he was introduced to 3.14 in math class. He was always drawn to math, and learning that Pi represents a constant, an infinite, never-ending value, stuck with him. It made him realize how life itself has constants. No matter the challenges we face, as long as we are breathing, we have the opportunity to keep moving forward. The restaurant industry is no different. For years, owners have battled thin profit margins while working tirelessly to feed the masses. The challenges never stop, but neither does the drive to adapt, grow, and find better solutions. When it came time to name the technology he was building, he kept coming back to Pi. It represents math and payments, a key part of what we do. It also connects to restaurants through pie, one of the most recognizable foods around the world. That connection led to the name Pye, the perfect name for a self-ordering kiosk and payment solution designed to help restaurants operate more efficiently and profitably. Today, Pye is helping restaurant owners overcome challenges, automate their operations, and scale their businesses. Just like Pi, our mission is constant. To provide solutions that empower restaurants to succeed. #Pye #SelfServiceKiosks #RestaurantTech #PiDay #Innovation #BusinessGrowth

At Pye, resilience, reinvention, and innovation aren’t just words. They are the foundation of our company and the driving force behind our Founder and CEO, Jègil Dugger. Before starting Pye, Jegil was an all-time leading rusher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and an NFL prospect. His path seemed set until life took an unexpected turn in 2009 when he faced incarceration. It was a defining moment that could have ended his journey, but instead, it became the spark that pushed him to rebuild and reimagine what was possible. Just a year after his release, he became a patent holder and launched Pye with a clear purpose. He wanted to create technology that helps restaurant owners overcome challenges, adapt to change, and build stronger businesses. He knows firsthand what it means to fight through adversity, and that same determination is built into everything we do at Pye. Running a restaurant or hospitality business is tough. Staffing shortages, rising costs, and operational hurdles make every day a challenge. Pye was built to help businesses navigate these obstacles, giving owners the tools they need to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and create better experiences for their customers. We know what it takes to overcome challenges and come out stronger. Let’s talk about how Pye can help your business do the same. Whether you need to improve efficiency, reduce costs, or enhance customer experiences, we are here to help. Reach out and let’s build something great together. A big thank you to Maija Ehlinger and Hypepotamus for sharing Jegil’s journey and the mission behind Pye. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to help more businesses grow. #RestaurantTech #Innovation #Resilience #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #SelfServiceSolutions

To some, a kiosk is simply a device with a digital touchscreen embedded in a metal cabinet that sits on the counter or stands on the floor and allows individuals to input orders. To Pye, a kiosk is also a reflection of our customers' brand -- brands that, in many cases, took years to create. Pye designs kiosks with our customers' brand in mind, from attractive curved screens, to identifying LED lights. Pye kiosks exude a presence and style as strong as the businesses they support. That's why Dunkin' chose Pye for its new location at the Meadowlands Racing and Entertainment Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It needed a kiosk solution that amplified its popular brand aesthetically, with colors, accessibility and efficiency.
