Every feature your service needs, and the honest comparison.
Built for hospitality, by people who live hospitality.
Built by operators who have worked the floor. Fewer taps, fewer screens, fewer surprises at close — the details that make a shift feel fast instead of heavy.
Service floor
The 90-day best sellers are pinned first, so a full order takes seconds — not menu archaeology.
One button on the ticket footer switches to split mode; no manager code, no re-entry.
Move selected items or the whole ticket, validated server-side by role.
Green / amber / red traffic lights per ticket so nothing sits forgotten in the pass.
Floor & reservations
Occupied/total covers and live money per zone, updating as service runs.
Bookings, reminders and a public booking page embedded on your own site.
Guests scan, order and pay from the table without downloading anything.
Money
Denomination counter plus one-click reconciliation with automatic over/short detection.
Margins, labour ratio and cashflow in one always-on ledger — no spreadsheet export ritual.
Distribute tips per shift with a transparent audit trail.
Supply
Sales patterns pre-stage stock and flag anomalies before service, not after the loss.
Photo or PDF in, structured sections out — drinks and dishes land in the right category automatically.
Intelligence
Ask your data in plain language: covers, top items, low stock, tonight's forecast.
Tiered loyalty, churn signals and campaigns that ship in clicks.
Connect your own AI agents securely over OAuth — nobody else in this category offers it.
