The challenge
Restaurants and cafes often run on separate tools: a billing machine, paper order slips, a stock register and a spreadsheet for staff. Information gets lost between them and the owner never sees one clear picture of the business.

Architecture
How the system can be structured
Planned architecture. The platform is in development, so this describes the intended design and may change before release.
One order path
An order from a table, counter or QR code follows the same path from menu to kitchen to bill.
Modular application
Orders, menu, tables, inventory, billing and reporting are separate modules over one shared data model.
Relational data
PostgreSQL holds orders, stock and bills with constraints that protect accuracy.
Real-time kitchen updates
New orders and status changes reach the kitchen display and staff screens promptly.
API-driven clients
Staff screens, guest QR ordering and manager dashboards use the same REST API.
Security
Security considerations
Role-based access
Owner, manager, cashier and kitchen roles see only the screens they need.
Protected payments data
Payments are recorded, and card details are handled by payment providers rather than stored by the platform.
Audit trail
Voids, discounts and price changes record who did what and when.
Encrypted connections
All traffic between devices and the server is encrypted.
Integrations
What it can connect to
Integrations are scoped at the start, based on the APIs and data exports those systems provide.
- Payment providers
- Accounting software
- Messaging and notifications
- Delivery platforms
- Printers and kitchen displays
Scalability
How the solution can grow
One outlet to many
The same data model supports a single restaurant and, later, a group of outlets.
Peak-hour load
Order entry is designed to stay responsive during busy service periods.
Module by module
New modules such as loyalty can be added without reworking existing ones.
