About TzxStar

Beijing Puzhao Tianxing Technology Co., Ltd., operating under the brand TzxStar (天子星), is a high-tech enterprise that provides information technology solutions for China's restaurant and entertainment industries. The company was founded on March 30, 2001, by Yang Hong and established itself as a key software provider from its base in Beijing's Zhongguancun Science Park.

TzxStar specializes in developing comprehensive management systems and digital service platforms for food and beverage businesses, particularly chain restaurants. The company's offerings are built around a "D+S" (Data + Service) model, which leverages data to enhance operational efficiency across a restaurant's lifecycle. Its solutions cover a wide range of functions, including point-of-sale systems, customer relationship management, supply chain, and financial and human resources management. One of its significant early achievements was a partnership with IBM to create a large-scale restaurant chain management solution using a J2EE technical architecture. This enabled the system to operate across different operating systems and support various databases.

The company's growth was supported by several funding rounds, including an A round from E-TAO Group in June 2015 and a B round from Meituan's strategic investment department and厚生投资 (Hou-se Capital) in December 2016. In a strategic move to consolidate the restaurant tech market, TzxStar was acquired by Wowcool (奥琦玮), a leading SaaS provider for chain restaurants, in May 2018. This acquisition placed TzxStar within a larger ecosystem of digital restaurant services that includes major clients such as KFC, McDonald's, and Starbucks in the Chinese market.
