Built for SA restaurant realities

Purpose-built features for the unique challenges of South African hospitality.

Works Through Load-Shedding

Runs fully offline on iPad/tablet with local data sync — orders, payments, kitchen tickets, and receipts continue working without internet. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

SARS-Compliant Billing

Built-in SARS-compliant invoicing engine. Auto-generates valid tax invoices, manages scheduled VAT rate changes, generates VAT201 reports, and archives all transactions for 5 years.

Real-Time Food Cost Control

Integrated recipe costing and inventory management from the starter plan. Auto-calculate food cost %, real-time stock tracking, waste logging, and weekly variance reports — all from R199/mo.
