Startup Grind Pitch Battle Royale: Luxembourg 2026

At Startup Grind Luxembourg’s Pitch Battle Royale, Jorel Chana pitched Senator, a digital hospitality operations platform that uses table QR codes and waiter smartwatches to route guest requests and integrate with existing POS systems. The company says its second, fully digital version—pivoted from hardware after customer feedback—cuts service times to under 10 minutes, boosts waiter productivity by 30%, trims operational costs by ~30% and can lift monthly turnover by ~27%. Senator reports 18 active customers in Belgium and France, €40k revenue from an earlier iteration, a partnership pipeline with Lightspeed (9,000 leads) and a pricing model of €500 installation plus €250/month SaaS. The team is fundraising to expand salesforce and accelerate regional go-to-market activity.
