London-Based Alpa Raises $3.5M In Pre-Seed Funding Led by Daphni

Angel investors include Alexandre Yazdi (Voodoo founder) and Jerome Tafani (former Burger King France CEO and McDonald’s Europe CFO), who has joined the board.

Hospitality remains one of Europe’s largest and most operationally complex sectors, yet financial visibility is often delayed, fragmented and accounting-driven.

Many restaurant groups only gain clarity on profitability weeks after month-end, slowing operational decision-making. While 79% of restaurants want real-time data, 27% cannot track even basic key performance indicators.

Co-founded by Anton Soulier and Jean-François Moy, Alpa is a fintech platform designed to solve this challenge. The platform enables restaurant operators to make decisions based on live profitability data rather than waiting for monthly accounts.

By integrating POS data, banking information, and native connections to food and beverage suppliers, Alpa generates a live operational profit-and-loss view without traditional accounting, reconciliation or bookkeeping workflows.

Built for operators rather than accountants, the platform allows hospitality businesses to monitor profitability in real time, improving decision-making and operational efficiency.

Hospitality runs on thin margins, but financial visibility still operates on monthly cycles. That gap creates massive inefficiency and destroys value.

Alpa is built to close it by giving operators real-time financial clarity so they can make decisions during the month, not after it. We’re not replacing accounting systems; we’re building the operational financial layer they’ve always been missing, explained Anton Soulier, co-founder and CEO of Alpa.
