Restaurant software, POS integrations & automation

Connect Your Orders, Kitchen, and Daily Operations.

Running a restaurant means managing orders, staff, inventory, and customer service in a fast-paced environment. We build custom ordering systems, POS integrations, kitchen applications, and automation that connect your operations, reduce manual work, and help your team deliver better service.

Kitchen operations

When the rush hits, every order needs to be in the right place.

A kitchen display brings orders from the POS, your website, and pickup channels into one workflow. Tickets move from new, to preparing, to ready, so the line always knows what's next.

Direct ordering & customer experience

Give customers a better way to order directly from you.

Restaurants often rely on third-party ordering and delivery services, but many want a direct ordering experience on their own website or app, connected to the POS and fulfillment systems they already run.

Order channel integration

One restaurant shouldn't have five disconnected order queues.

Orders arrive through dine-in POS terminals, your website, third-party delivery platforms, phone calls, and kiosks. A connected order-management layer brings them together and routes them to the right kitchen stations and fulfillment.

In-store POS

Dine-in and counter orders flow into the same queue as everything else.

Online orders

Your website and app orders join the line without manual re-entry.

Delivery apps

Supported aggregator orders, where the platform allows access.

Kitchen routing

Orders route to the right stations with modifiers and timing intact.

Pickup & delivery

Fulfillment status and approved customer notifications stay connected.

Sales reporting

Every channel rolls into one view of what's selling.

Inventory & food costs

Understand what your menu costs, not just what it sells for.

Retail tracks finished products; restaurants also deal with ingredients, recipes, portions, waste, and supplier pricing. Connect what you sell with what it costs to prepare so menu and purchasing decisions have better information behind them.

Example selling price $14.00
  • Beef patty$2.15
  • Bun$0.65
  • Cheese$0.42
  • Vegetables & sauce$0.58
  • Packaging$0.45
Estimated cost percentage30.4%
Staffing & labor operations

Match your team to the demands of service.

Staffing needs shift between lunch, dinner, weekends, events, and seasons. Combining hourly sales with labor hours shows managers when to review coverage, without pretending an automated schedule is always right.

Restaurant hardware & digital experiences

Connect the screens and equipment your restaurant uses every day.

Kitchen display systems

Order routing, preparation status, and station visibility.

Self-service kiosks

Customer ordering, menu selection, and supported payment integrations.

Digital menu boards

Connected menu items, prices, promotions, and availability.

Order pickup displays

Ready-for-pickup status and customer-facing order information.

Reservations & guest experience

Connect the dining room with the rest of your operation.

For full-service restaurants, a reservation is only one part of the guest experience. A host manages table availability, walk-ins, waitlists, guest preferences, and communication with the service team.

We build supported reservation integrations, waitlist displays, table-status workflows, guest communication, event booking, and customer relationship tools, so the front door connects to the kitchen, the POS, and the rest of the business.

Common questions

Restaurant software and integrations, answered.

Can you integrate our restaurant POS with other software?

We evaluate the POS provider's supported APIs, existing integrations, subscription requirements, and access permissions before recommending an approach.

Can you integrate Toast with a custom application?

Potentially. Toast offers several API access models, and custom integrations may require additional authorization or vendor coordination.

Can you build a restaurant ordering app?

Yes. We can develop branded web or mobile ordering experiences and evaluate connections to your existing POS, payments, and fulfillment systems.

Can online and delivery orders appear in one kitchen display?

Where the platforms support it, orders can be routed into a connected kitchen workflow while preserving modifiers, order details, and fulfillment information.

Can you build a custom kitchen display system?

Yes. We can design kitchen applications for order routing, station views, preparation status, and related workflows, subject to the integration capabilities of the POS and ordering platforms.

Can digital menu boards update automatically?

Yes, with compatible hardware and supported menu data connections. Updates should be verified before publication.

Can restaurant inventory connect to POS sales?

Yes, where supported. Recipe-based ingredient estimates can be linked to sales, but accuracy depends on recipe definitions, portioning, waste, and stock counts.

Can you connect our restaurant scheduling and payroll systems?

We can evaluate supported scheduling, timekeeping, payroll, and POS integrations while preserving appropriate labor records and approval controls.

Can you help a restaurant with multiple locations?

Yes. We can build or integrate multi-location reporting, menu administration, inventory visibility, and approved operational workflows.

Can AI help with restaurant reporting and purchasing?

AI can assist with analysis and draft recommendations using authorized business data. Purchasing and other consequential changes should remain subject to review.
