Guests scan, read a gorgeous menu in their language and order. The kitchen screen lights up, the waiter’s phone rings, the bill splits. Live tonight, $49 a year.
Facts checked on
Not a trial. No card needed.
A small GustoQR mark shows under the menu.
Everything in Free, plus:
The guest sends the cart. The table lights up on the waiter’s board and the order lands on the kitchen screen. No paper tickets, no running back and forth.
Big POS systems are trucks. Strong, but they come with installation, hardware, contracts and staff training. They are built for chains that count stock, cost recipes, run accounting and plug in delivery apps. And the menu? Nobody updates it.
You run a café, a guesthouse or a boutique hotel. You need a scooter: light, quick, and it gets everywhere.
Type “Make the burger $16” and it’s done. The assistant edits the menu, updates the translations, and one tap puts it on every table. Try it.
