Menu Tek: Restaurant and café system

Who it is for

If orders get lost between table and kitchen, menus are reprinted with every change, and dishes run out mid-service, this system is for you. It suits restaurants and cafés, and its POS runs on an ordinary tablet. In Menu Tek guests order from the table, the kitchen sees each order, and the menu keeps pace with the stock.

How a working day runs

The manager opens the day's menus, sets which items are available in each branch, and arranges the shift's team. A guest scans the QR code on the table, and the menu helps them choose by taste or allergy from what is available. The waiter takes other tables' orders on a tablet, and every order lands on the kitchen display. Stock updates with each sale; when an item is about to run out, the system alerts you and drafts a supplier order. At payment the cashier closes the order and the e-invoice is issued. The manager follows sales from the dashboard all day, then reviews the day report while the system matches recipes against actual stock to expose any gap.

What makes the difference

• The POS runs on an ordinary tablet with a wireless receipt printer, so you skip expensive hardware.
• The menu suggests dishes that fit each guest's preferences and allergies, and stops suggesting what has run out.
• The system predicts run-outs from daily sales and drafts the supplier order before an item runs out.
• Recipe ingredients are matched against actual stock automatically, so any financial gap shows up as it happens.

How it is built

We build the restaurant dashboard and floor screens with Laravel and Vue so they run in a browser on any device. As a PWA, a tablet becomes the POS without an app-store install. Realtime updates keep a QR order, a waiter's ticket, and a stock alert as one event that every screen sees at once. PostgreSQL with RLS keeps each restaurant's data apart.
