T-Order Reports 41.9 Billion Won in Revenue Last Year... Advertising Revenue Up 24% Through Business Diversification

Table order company T-Order announced on April 14 that its standalone revenue for last year was 41.9 billion won, with an operating loss of 12.8 billion won. Net loss for the year totaled 25.4 billion won, reflecting one-off non-cash items such as impairment of investments in subsidiaries. Revenue for 2025 decreased by approximately 15.3 billion won compared to the previous year; the company explained that this was due to a change in revenue recognition structure. Previously, subscription fees for the entire contract period were recognized as revenue at the time of contract renewal, but now revenue is recognized monthly over the service period.

The gross profit margin, a key indicator of profitability, improved by more than 4 percentage points compared to the previous year. This was the result of an increased share of high-margin recurring revenue, such as service renewals and advertising revenue from existing customers, rather than sales from new customers as in the past. In particular, T-Order expects that this year, the proportion of stable revenue based on its nationwide infrastructure of 350,000 accumulated tablets will be maximized, establishing a sustainable profit structure and laying the groundwork for a true turnaround into profitability.

Most notably, operating cash flow-a core indicator of financial soundness-improved by more than 10 billion won year-on-year, leading to a significant recovery in cash generation capacity. In terms of business diversification, advertising revenue grew by 24% year-on-year to 4.4 billion won, and the advertising platform business using the nationwide tablet infrastructure is now on a full-fledged growth trajectory. The number of advertisers increased fourfold compared to the previous year. T-Order operates targeted ads optimized for the dining industry by leveraging the environment in which customers are naturally exposed to tablet screens during meals. Looking ahead, T-Order plans to maintain growth momentum by advancing data-driven advertising, combining store order data, and diversifying its offerings.

T-Order is accelerating its transformation into an artificial intelligence (AI) platform company. As part of this, it has launched the beta version of “T-OrderGPT,” an AI service for small business owners that automatically processes store management work in real time, based on eight years of accumulated offline store and customer service data. The company plans to upgrade this into a store management platform that can identify opportunities for revenue generation and automatically suggest operational strategies in the future.

Seongtaek Kwon, CEO of T-Order, stated, “To become a leader in AI for small business owners, T-Order has continued to invest hundreds of billions of won in AI infrastructure and R&D. In 2026, the improvement of our financial structure based on AI will become clearly visible. With our cash flow showing marked improvement, we are confident that this year we will definitively prove our business turnaround.”
