# Restaurant app development services

Connect guest ordering with the kitchen and delivery team. Plan around the menu, opening hours and fulfilment rules you actually use.

## Different tools for each side of the counter.

### Guests

Browse modifiers and dietary information, choose a service slot, pay and follow the order. Reviews and reorder shortcuts can be included where useful.

### Kitchen & dispatch

Accept tickets against capacity, record preparation, mark pickup readiness and hand off delivery with status updates and alerts.

### Managers

Control opening hours, item availability, delivery zones and staff access. Reconcile exceptions with the payment and POS records.

## The order is paid. One item runs out.

Record the guest's decision and see which records still need follow-up.

## A few practical questions.

### Do we need an app-store launch?

Not always. A responsive ordering website may suit QR menus and occasional guests. A mobile app can be scoped when saved preferences, repeat orders or device features justify installation.

### Can you connect our POS or delivery provider?

We first check the provider's available APIs, permissions and test environment. Supported integrations, update frequency and manual fallback are agreed before implementation; access is not assumed.

### Can several outlets share one system?

Yes, within the agreed scope. Menus, stock availability, hours, service areas and staff permissions can differ by outlet. Shared reporting and central controls are separate decisions.

### What happens if the kitchen loses its connection?

We agree which information can be cached and how staff recover pending tickets. A cached menu does not confirm a new order: acceptance and payment status must be checked against the server before guests are told it is confirmed.

### What affects the delivery estimate?

The guest channels, number of outlets, POS access, delivery model, payment rules and existing data determine the implementation scope. We agree an estimate after reviewing those inputs.

## Walk us through one busy shift.

Bring a sample menu, your outlets and the POS, payment and delivery systems already in use.
