[ NOW ONBOARDING PILOT RESTAURANTS ]

The POS that never stops taking orders.

Counter POS, self-order kiosk, kitchen display, QR ordering, and delivery — one platform for your restaurant. And when the internet goes down, your store keeps selling.

[ WHY KEEPTHETAB ]

Most POS systems stop when the WiFi does.We started there and built backwards.

🔌

Never stop selling

Offline-first, for real

Every store runs on a local hub. Orders, kitchen tickets, and cash sales keep working with zero internet, then sync to the cloud exactly once when it's back. We test this on every single release.

🧾

One system, every channel

No app juggling

Counter, kiosk, QR at the table, web pickup, and delivery-app orders all land on the same kitchen screen with the same menu. Change a price once — it's everywhere.

AI where it actually helps

Not a gimmick

Import your whole menu from a photo or your current website in minutes. Get a morning brief on yesterday's numbers, and ask plain-English questions about your own restaurant.

[ SELL MORE ]

Every way guests want to order.One menu behind all of it.

  • Self-order kiosk in your branding takes the line off your counter.
  • QR codes on tables and flyers open your menu on the guest's phone — order and pay without an app.
  • Your own web storefront for pickup: direct orders, no marketplace commission.
  • Delivery-app orders land on the same kitchen screen — per-channel menus, pricing, and pause control.
KIOSK QR DELIVERY One kitchen display
[ RUN A CALMER KITCHEN ]

Tickets that route themselves.A kitchen that reads its own language.

  • Station routing sends each item to the right screen — grill, fry, tandoor, dessert.
  • Elapsed-time cues flag aging tickets before guests feel it.
  • Batch cooking & refire for the rushes and the redos.
  • Eight display languages — English, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu — so every cook reads tickets in the language they think in.

[ KEEP MORE OF EVERY DOLLAR ]

Direct orders. Real ledgers.An end-of-day you can trust to the cent.

  • Commission-free direct ordering through your own QR codes and web storefront.
  • Gift cards & loyalty on real append-only ledgers — points earn on cash too.
  • Cent-exact end of day: business-day close, drawer counts, and a Z-report that includes cash, not just cards.
  • Inventory that fights waste: recipe depletion, auto-86 when you sell out, purchase orders, waste tracking.

[ FAQ ]

Questions, answered straight

What happens when my internet goes down?

Nothing, from your guests' point of view. The in-store hub keeps the POS, kiosk, and kitchen display running on your local network; orders and cash sales queue safely and sync to the cloud exactly once when the connection returns. Card-present payments need the internet (that's the card networks, not us) — cash keeps flowing.

Do you touch my card data?

Never. Payments run on Stripe's card-present readers, and card data goes straight from the reader to Stripe. Our software has no card-number fields anywhere — we enforce that with automated checks on every code change.

How long does setup take?

For a pilot restaurant: we import your menu (from a photo or your current online menu), configure your stations, and you're taking orders the same week. Pilot partners get white-glove onboarding from the founding team.

What does it cost?

Pilot pricing is intentionally simple and generous — we're earning our first partners. Email us and we'll talk real numbers for your restaurant, no games.

[ LET'S CHAT ]
