Know each morning what yesterday took, which dish actually earns after commission, and which branch has unusually high ingredient cost.

Restaurant POS and ordering
Counter orders, QR orders from the table and every delivery app on one screen, a kitchen that sees the real queue, and an owner who knows each day which dish makes money.
Restaurants & cafés “The counter runs one POS, delivery runs three more apps. Closing means adding up four totals, and we still don’t know which dish makes money.”
The problem
A restaurant today sells through several channels at once: the counter, phone orders and a handful of delivery apps, each with its own tablet lined up by the pass. At noon the orders arrive together, and staff read from several screens and shout them to the kitchen. At closing the owner adds up the totals from every channel in Excel and works out the commission each app charges, since none of them charge the same.
What comes out is a total. Nobody knows what the best-selling dish actually earns after ingredients and commission, and an ingredient that runs out at lunch is discovered when the kitchen says it cannot make the dish any more.
How we solve it
We build a POS where every order reaches one screen. The counter rings it up, a customer at the table scans the QR and orders and pays themselves, and orders from LINE MAN, Grab and foodpanda arrive through each platform’s API into the same queue. The kitchen sees the queue in time order on its own screen, taps to accept and to finish, and the system tells the rider or the server.
Every dish sold deducts ingredients according to the recipe you set, so the system can say what each dish actually earns after ingredient cost and that channel’s commission. The owner gets a report in LINE each morning: yesterday’s sales, the dishes that earned most, the busy hours, and the ingredients likely to run out before the weekend, with a purchase order already drafted for the manager to confirm.
Cancelling a paid order, a discount outside the set ones and ordering ingredients all need the manager’s approval. If the internet goes down, the counter POS keeps taking orders and printing receipts, and syncs when it comes back.

What you get
- 01
A POS that takes counter orders, QR orders from the table and delivery-app orders on one screen
- 02
A kitchen queue in real time, with ingredient stock deducted per dish sold

Who gets what
Delivery apps connected through each platform’s official API, your existing printers and cash drawer kept, offline operation at the counter, and sales posted to accounting with nothing retyped.
Counter staff stop reading from several screens, the kitchen sees the real queue on one, and the manager stops adding up totals at closing.
