Lavu Offers Financial Relief to Restaurants Impacted by Hurricane Helene

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lavu, a leader in Point of Sale (POS) and software development for the restaurant industry, is committed to supporting local restaurants devastated by Hurricane Helene. In recognition of the challenges faced by these businesses, Lavu is announcing a relief initiative that will waive October invoices for impacted restaurants. Additionally, we are actively assessing the ongoing situation caused by the storm to provide further assistance to our customers as needed beyond October.

“At Lavu, we envision a world where local restaurant owners are empowered to focus solely on delighting their patrons and staff, while our POS solutions handle the rest,” said Saleem S. Khatri, CEO of Lavu Inc. “As a company based in Tampa, we understand the significant impact that Hurricane Helene has had on our community and feel a deep responsibility to support our neighbors in the restaurant industry.
