One Platform Should Make the Restaurant Easier to Run

Kitchen teams receive structured tickets with quantities, modifiers, timing and preparation notes on display or KOT printer.
Recipe-Based Inventory
Sales deduct ingredient quantities automatically, giving operators live food cost control, COGS visibility and low-stock alerts.
Actionable Management Insight
Review sales mix, item margins, channel demand and multi-location comparisons from any browser without complex setup.
Guest Experience
Build the Guest Experience Around How You Actually Serve People
With a web-based digital menu, guests open your menu via QR code or direct link without installing an app. The menu presents categories, item photos, descriptions, prices and live availability in a clean mobile flow. When ordering is enabled, structured modifier flows capture doneness, crusts, sides and add-ons without verbal ambiguity.

Connect Staff-Entered Orders With Kitchen Production
Guest self-ordering is only one piece. Front-of-house teams take orders on touch-friendly POS terminals while tickets route instantly to kitchen displays or thermal KOT printers. Structured tickets eliminate lost paper slips and repeated verbal instructions, keeping service flowing smoothly during peak rush.

| Are modifiers and custom notes routed accurately to the kitchen? | Kitchen accuracy and ticket speed depend entirely on structured order details. |
| Can staff operate the interface easily during peak rush hours? | A system that looks good in a calm demo must hold up under high-volume service pressure. |

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers for operators evaluating cloud restaurant software, POS, ordering and kitchen workflows.
What does restaurant software usually include?
Restaurant software can include digital menus, online ordering, POS, kitchen order tickets, inventory, reservations, staff tools, analytics and multi-location management. Not every restaurant needs every module. The useful combination depends on service style, order volume and operating complexity.
Is OrderNow only a QR menu?
No. The QR menu is one guest-facing module. OrderNow also supports restaurant POS, KOT and kitchen workflows, inventory, reservations, analytics and multi-location operations.
Do guests need to install an app?
No. The standard OrderNow digital menu and guest ordering experience opens in a mobile browser from a QR code or direct web link.
Does OrderNow charge a percentage of orders?
No. OrderNow uses subscription pricing and does not charge a per-order commission. External payment, delivery or other providers may apply their own charges.
Can a restaurant start with only a digital menu?
Yes. A restaurant can begin with a simpler digital-menu setup and add operational modules as required. The correct configuration depends on the restaurant's service model and selected plan.
Can OrderNow support multiple restaurant locations?
Yes. Multi-location and enterprise configurations can provide central control and group-level reporting while allowing location-specific operational settings.
Does OrderNow replace every third-party platform a restaurant uses?
Not necessarily. A restaurant may keep external tools where they provide value. The goal is to reduce unnecessary fragmentation and create a stronger connected operating layer around the restaurant's own menus, orders and management information.
How should a restaurant choose between Pro, Ultra and Enterprise?
Choose based on the modules and operational complexity required. Restaurants needing ordering and core KOT workflows may have different requirements from operations needing advanced POS, inventory, multiple kitchen stations or group-level control. The current Pricing page should be used for package details.
