Hospitality software Early access

Order to kitchen to table, without the shouting

A POS, Kitchen Display and captain app that share one live order queue, with Zomato and Swiggy orders alongside dine-in, recipe-level inventory and GST billing. For restaurants, cafes and cloud kitchens.

The problem

Where a busy service breaks down

Lost KOTs

Paper tickets go missing between the floor and the pass, and a forgotten order is a table that never comes back.

Three tablets on the counter

Dine-in on one system, Zomato on another, Swiggy on a third. Nobody sees the full queue at peak hour.

Stock by guesswork

Without recipe-level tracking, wastage and pilferage only show up once the month's food cost is already blown.

The software

One system from the captain's phone to the pass

  • POS for dine-in, takeaway and delivery with a live table map
  • Captain app for tableside ordering on any Android phone
  • Kitchen Display: live queue, prep timers, bump and recall

  • Zomato and Swiggy orders in the same queue as dine-in
  • Menu management: variants, combos and time-based menus
  • Recipe-level inventory with auto-deduction and reorder alerts
  • GST billing, split bills, day-close and cash reconciliation

Made to be shared

Your food is already the ad

Guests photograph the plate before they taste it. We turn that instinct into reach: shoot-ready dishes, reels that travel your neighbourhood, and a Google and Instagram presence that turns a scroll into a table or an order.

The room sells too

Ambience is content you can book

Candlelight, a rooftop at golden hour, a corner made for date night: the mood of your space is half the reason people choose it. We capture it and put it where diners are looking, so your evenings fill on the strength of the room.

Restaurant FAQs

Owners usually ask

Will it work when the internet drops?

Yes. Billing works offline and syncs when the connection comes back, so service doesn't stop.

Do I need special hardware?

No. It runs on Android tablets and phones and works with standard receipt and KOT printers.

Do you handle Zomato and Swiggy onboarding?

Yes: registration, menu digitisation, photography direction, pricing and packaging guidance, and ongoing offer and rating management.

We get orders but margins are thin. Can marketing help?

That's exactly the point of a direct channel: Google Maps footfall, Instagram ordering via WhatsApp, and repeat-customer campaigns reduce dependence on aggregator commissions.

Do you create the reels and photos?

We plan the calendar, direct shoots on-site or guide your team's phone shoots, and edit and publish everything. You approve; we run it.
