SOHO Coffee Adopts Lolly HQ, from Lolly Systems

Lolly has reaffirmed our commitment to developing future talent through meaningful apprenticeships. Since 2018, apprentices have been fully embedded across teams, working on real projects that influence how the business grows. The programme prioritises practical experience, trust and genuine integration, with apprentices contributing from day one.

For National Apprenticeship Week 2026, Lolly highlights Product Manager Apprentice Darcy Johnson. Since joining in April 2025, Darcy has gained hands on experience across product development, communication and decision making. With strong support from the Lolly team, she has grown in confidence, taken on real responsibility and discovered the value of learning by doing in a fast paced tech environment.

New research shows that most hospitality professionals feel technology is easing staffing challenges. With digital tools now central to rota management, communication and operational efficiency, operators are increasingly embracing automation and smart platforms. From robot waiters to integrated workforce systems, tech is helping teams work more effectively while improving the overall experience for staff and customers.
