The challenge
Restaurant service moves fast. Orders pass between guests, waiters, the counter and the kitchen, and the bill is worked out at the end. We wanted one system that keeps all of those in step without slowing anyone down.
It also had to work for a busy team with no training and no new hardware: guests shouldn't need an app, and waiters shouldn't need accounts.
Our approach
- 01
Every screen agrees
The counter, waiters' phones and the kitchen screen all see the same tables and tickets, updated live, so nobody has to ask whether the kitchen got that.
- 02
Nothing to install, nobody to sign up
Guests scan a QR code on the table. Waiters open a shared link. Everything runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer.
- 03
Keep the owner in control
Guest orders wait for approval before reaching the kitchen. VAT, discounts and sold-out dishes are set by the restaurant, and each restaurant's data is kept separate from every other's.
Inside the project
A kitchen board that is always current, next to every table at a glance. Orders land the second they are sent.
Guests scan a table's QR code to order. The bill is built from what the kitchen received, with discounts and VAT under the owner's control.
Takeaway and delivery get their own tokens, dishes can be switched off in one tap, and waiters order from their own phones with no login.
Sales by day, best-selling dishes, payment types and busiest hours, with a PDF report for any dates.
From table to bill: a guest orders from the menu on their phone with no app to install and no account to make.
Every screen is designed for phones first, not squeezed down from desktop.

Where it stands
Live today. RestroBuddys is invite-only for now: a restaurant books a demo, and once the team have talked it gets an invite code to create its account.
It is offered as a subscription. This is our own product rather than a client project.
