Pitch The Tide – Jegil Dugger: CEO of Pye

In This Episode

Interview Takeaways

  • Flexible Hardware That Grows With You – Pye’s kiosk is built for restaurants, food trucks, pop-ups, and future changes. One system can adapt as the business evolves, helping operators protect their investment.
  • Technology Should Support Hospitality – The kiosk handles ordering so staff can focus on guests. Instead of replacing people, it creates more time for service and better hospitality.
  • Data Drives More Revenue – The real value goes beyond checkout. Loyalty tools, guest insights, and smarter upsells help operators increase sales and bring customers back.



In this Pitch the Tide session, Jegil Dugger, CEO of Pye, introduces a flexible self-ordering kiosk platform designed to help restaurants improve labor efficiency, reduce wait times, and modernize the guest experience. Built for businesses ranging from food trucks to enterprise brands, Pye combines integrated hardware, payment flexibility, and POS connectivity into one adaptable system. By supporting cash and card payments, loyalty features, menu automation, and real-time upselling, the platform helps operators increase revenue while creating a smoother ordering experience for every guest.
