Question 1

Is OrderEase BIR-compliant? Can it issue official invoices for my restaurant?

Accepted Answer

Under the Ease of Paying Taxes Act (RA 11976) and RR 7-2024, a restaurant must issue a BIR-registered sales Invoice carrying your registered business name, TIN, address, a controlled serial number, the date, itemized lines, and — if you are VAT-registered (annual gross above ₱3M) — the 12% VAT breakdown with VATable, VAT-exempt, and zero-rated sales shown separately. Any computerized (system-generated) invoicing must also be registered with the BIR at your own Revenue District Office (RDO); for a cloud system, each merchant completes this registration for their own business. OrderEase is designed around these requirements, and our onboarding team helps you prepare the registration documents (system description, sample invoices, process flow) so you can go live correctly. Talk to us about your BIR setup before launch.

Question 2

What are the transaction fees for GCash, Maya, and QR Ph?

Accepted Answer

Payment processing fees are charged by the payment providers (GCash, Maya, QR Ph) and your acquiring partner — not by OrderEase. As a general guide for 2026, e-wallet merchant discount rates typically fall in the ~1.5%–2.5% range, while QR Ph bank-to-bank transfers are often lower. Your exact rate depends on your provider agreement, business type, and monthly volume, and providers update their rates from time to time. For a detailed, source-cited breakdown, see our guide: GCash, Maya & QR Ph fees for Philippine restaurants.

Question 3

Does OrderEase integrate with GrabFood or foodpanda?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase focuses on in-store QR self-ordering, takeout, and POS checkout — the channels you control directly and pay no marketplace commission on. Direct two-way integration with GrabFood and foodpanda in the Philippines is on our roadmap; today you can run those delivery platforms alongside OrderEase and keep your dine-in and takeout operations unified in one system. Contact us to discuss your delivery setup and where it sits on our timeline.

Question 4

How do I get started with OrderEase?

Accepted Answer

Just 3 simple steps: (1) Sign up for a free account on our website (takes about 5 minutes). (2) Set up your menu and tables in the merchant dashboard. (3) Print QR codes and place them on your tables — you are ready to receive orders. No technical skills required, and our support team is available to help with initial setup.

Question 5

Do I need to purchase any hardware?

Accepted Answer

You will need a tablet or smartphone to manage orders, and we recommend a thermal receipt printer for kitchen tickets. The system runs entirely in a web browser, so there is no software to install. You do not need a dedicated POS terminal — your existing devices will work just fine.

Question 6

How long does it take to go live after signing up?

Accepted Answer

You can be up and running in as little as 15 minutes. After creating your account, you can immediately upload menu photos, set prices, add tables, and print or display QR codes for customers to scan. The system is designed to be intuitive and requires no technical background. If you need help, our support team offers one-on-one online guidance.

Question 7

Do customers need to download an app or create an account?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Customers simply scan the QR code on their table with their phone, and the ordering page opens directly in their browser. No app download, no account registration, no personal information required. It takes just 3 seconds from scanning to browsing the menu, which significantly lowers the barrier to ordering. Both iPhone and Android are fully supported.

Question 8

Can non-technical owners or staff operate the system on their own?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. OrderEase is designed so that anyone can use it with ease. The merchant dashboard has a clear, intuitive interface — adding menu items, adjusting prices, and managing orders each take just a few clicks. We also provide step-by-step guides and video tutorials to help you and your team get up to speed quickly.

Question 9

Do you offer setup tutorials or on-site assistance?

Accepted Answer

We provide multiple support options: online text guides (available 24/7), video tutorials, and live chat support for instant Q&A. For PRO plan customers with larger restaurants, we can also arrange a one-on-one video setup walkthrough. On-site visits are not currently available, but our online support can typically resolve all setup questions.

Question 10

What types of restaurants is OrderEase suitable for?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase is designed for small and mid-sized food businesses, including: (1) dine-in restaurants (silog houses, grill/inihaw, lutong-bahay carinderia, ramen and noodle shops), (2) cafés, brunch spots, and bakeries, (3) milk tea, coffee, and beverage shops, (4) takeout fast food, rice meals, and food-park stalls, (5) street food and food trucks. The system handles anywhere from 200 to 50,000 orders per month smoothly. Starting at ₱2,580/month with no upfront hardware cost, the entry barrier is far lower than a traditional POS (typically tens of thousands of pesos upfront plus ongoing maintenance), making it especially suitable for newly opened or budget-conscious operators. Multi-location chains (3+ branches) are recommended to use the PRO plan or contact us for an enterprise package.

Question 11

Which printer models are supported?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase supports any network printer that follows the ESC/POS standard (the most common type on the market). Verified models include Epson TM-T82, TM-T88V, TM-T88VI, TM-m30; Star TSP100, TSP143; Xprinter XP-58, XP-80; and GPrinter GP-58, GP-80. Connectivity is over LAN TCP (port 9100), and both 58mm and 80mm thermal paper widths are supported. The merchant dashboard includes a one-click LAN scanner that detects printers and lets you assign them to kitchen or front-counter roles. Bluetooth printers are not currently supported — we recommend networked printers for stability. If you are unsure whether your existing printer is compatible, send a photo of the model label to our support team for confirmation.

Question 12

Do customers have to sign up or add us on social media before ordering?

Accepted Answer

No. OrderEase's QR code ordering flow is "scan and order" — customers do not need to follow your Facebook or Messenger account, register a member account, fill in personal information, or download an app. They scan, browse the menu, add items to the cart, and submit the order. We believe forcing customers to follow or sign up before they can order increases hesitation and loses sales. If you want to build a customer list or marketing channel, the dashboard lets you optionally enable a soft prompt (e.g., "follow us for a discount") after ordering — the flow is never blocked, the customer chooses freely, and you stay in control.

Question 13

What if elderly customers cannot use QR codes?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase does not require every customer to order via phone — you can mix methods. (1) Keep paper menus on the table for guests who prefer not to use a phone, and let staff create the order through the POS interface; the kitchen receives it the same way. (2) The customer ordering page is already optimized for older users — large dish photos, scalable text, no forced membership prompts, no intrusive popups. (3) Staff can use the dashboard's "order on behalf of customer" feature to enter orders directly, so elderly customers only need to tell the server what they want. It is a three-track system: QR code, POS, and paper menu — not a single channel that locks out anyone.

Question 14

Does OrderEase work for mid-size restaurants (30+ tables) or chains?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OrderEase scales from single venues to 50+ table chains. For 3+ branches, the PRO plan or Enterprise package is recommended: centralized multi-store management, bulk menu setup, unified reporting, dedicated support. Real-world venues handle 200 to 50,000 monthly orders smoothly.

Question 15

Are food carts / mobile vendors a good fit?

Accepted Answer

Excellent fit. Carts have tight space, no need for traditional POS terminals, mostly takeout — OrderEase runs in any browser, a single phone manages everything. Print the QR code on a stand or affix it to a fixed spot, no app download needed. ₱2,580/month is a far lower barrier than a traditional POS at tens of thousands of pesos upfront.

Question 16

Can pure takeout shops or dark kitchens use it?

Accepted Answer

Perfect fit. OrderEase supports takeout-only mode: skip table numbers and switch to a "pickup number" workflow. Dark kitchens running multiple brands from one kitchen are also supported — set up multiple independent menus and brand names; the kitchen KDS handles them in one place.

Question 17

How long before opening should I start setting up OrderEase?

Accepted Answer

We recommend starting 2 weeks before opening. Week 1: upload menu (photos, prices, categories), set tables, create staff accounts, connect printer. Week 2: live-test the full flow (order → kitchen ticket → checkout), and complete your BIR registration for system-generated invoicing (timelines vary by Revenue District Office). The 30-day free trial covers the prep period at zero cost.

Question 18

How long does a printed QR code last? How often do I reprint?

Accepted Answer

The QR code itself does not expire — print once, use indefinitely. Practical tips: (1) use coated paper laminated, or acrylic stands — thermal paper fades; (2) check and clean grease-prone spots every 3–6 months; (3) reprint when changing tables or renovating. The dashboard regenerates QR codes anytime.

Question 19

What ordering methods are supported?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase supports three ordering scenarios: (1) QR Code self-service ordering — customers scan a table QR code and order on their own. (2) POS takeout checkout — staff create orders manually for takeout and phone orders. (3) KDS kitchen display — orders are automatically pushed to a kitchen screen. All three modes can run simultaneously, and every order is consolidated in a single dashboard.

Question 20

Can I use dine-in QR ordering and takeout POS at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is one of OrderEase's key strengths. Dine-in guests scan the QR code on their table to order, while takeout and phone orders are entered by staff through the POS interface. All orders are managed in one unified dashboard, making the preparation queue clear at a glance — no confusion from different ordering channels. One system handles every scenario.

Question 21

Do menu changes take effect immediately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any change you make in the dashboard — item names, prices, photos, descriptions, category order — takes effect the moment you save. Customers scanning the QR code always see the latest menu, eliminating the need to reprint paper menus. Price adjustments, new item launches, and sold-out removals can all be completed in seconds.

Question 22

What is the Kitchen Display System (KDS)?

Accepted Answer

The Kitchen Display System is a screen installed in the kitchen that automatically shows all incoming orders. Kitchen staff can see each dish's preparation status and wait time, then tap to mark items as complete. Compared to traditional paper tickets or kitchen printers, KDS is more eco-friendly, avoids faded thermal prints, and prevents lost tickets — significantly improving kitchen efficiency.

Question 23

Does it support multi-location management?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you operate multiple locations, each branch can have its own independent menu, tables, and settings, while you manage all stores from a single account. Orders and revenue reports are calculated separately per location, giving you a clear view of each store's performance. Multi-location management is available on the PRO plan.

Question 24

Can I set up customization options for menu items?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add customization options to any dish — for example, spice level (mild / medium / hot), add-ons (extra egg / extra rice), portion size (regular / large), or special requests (no ice / less sugar). Customers select their preferences when ordering via QR code, and all choices are sent directly to the kitchen to ensure every dish is prepared exactly as requested.

Question 25

What languages does the customer ordering interface support?

Accepted Answer

The merchant dashboard is in English. The customer ordering interface supports English, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese, and automatically detects each guest's device language so tourists see the menu in their own language without changing any setting — guests can also switch manually at any time. This is ideal for venues that serve international visitors. You can enter your menu item names and descriptions in multiple languages, and anything not translated falls back to your default language.

Question 26

Can OrderEase integrate with our existing POS or membership system?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase includes a built-in POS checkout system on the PRO plan, so most customers replace their existing POS rather than running two systems in parallel. If you need to keep an existing system and feed OrderEase order data into it, the PRO plan offers: (1) CSV/Excel export of orders, menu, and revenue (for daily reconciliation against your existing system), (2) Webhooks for real-time order events (suited for self-hosted dashboards or ERP), and (3) REST APIs for reading order and menu data (available on enterprise plans). Common integration scenarios include migrating data from another ordering system, connecting to a self-hosted loyalty/points system, syncing inventory with an ERP, and connecting to invoicing systems. For a specific third-party integration, contact our sales team to assess feasibility and pricing.

Question 27

Can I integrate with GrabFood, foodpanda, or other delivery platforms?

Accepted Answer

Direct two-way integration with GrabFood and foodpanda in the Philippines is on our roadmap — once available, delivery orders will flow automatically into the OrderEase dashboard and kitchen KDS with no double entry, and menu/inventory will be manageable centrally. Today you can already run those delivery platforms alongside OrderEase, keeping your dine-in, takeout, and POS operations unified in one system. Contact support to tell us which platforms matter most to you, so we can prioritize accordingly.

Question 28

What if customers say the menu text is too small to read on their phone?

Accepted Answer

The ordering page uses larger default font sizes and prominent dish images, and supports browser pinch-to-zoom on both iOS and Android. If customers still find the text small, we suggest: (1) place a small tabletop card showing how to pinch-to-zoom for older guests; (2) upload high-resolution dish photos in the dashboard so the visuals carry the meaning, reducing reliance on text; (3) for guests with mobility or vision limitations, staff can use the dashboard's "order on behalf of customer" feature via POS, removing the need for the customer to operate the phone at all. Accessibility feedback is welcome via support and gets routed into the UI roadmap.

Question 29

Can we keep paper menus for customers who prefer not to use their phone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, and we recommend doing so. OrderEase does not require every customer to use QR codes — paper menus and QR ordering are not mutually exclusive. Common practices: (1) place a paper menu and a QR stand on each table, letting guests choose; (2) for guests who prefer not to use a phone, staff create the order through the POS interface and the kitchen receives it the same way; (3) keep the paper menu as a "summary catalog" of headline items, and put the full menu plus limited specials on the QR ordering page. Once you update menu items in the dashboard, the QR page reflects changes immediately; print the paper menu only with stable, long-running items so you do not need to reprint when prices or specials shift, saving on printing costs.

Question 30

Is there a loyalty / points program?

Accepted Answer

PRO includes a zero-friction points system: customers scan a QR code on the receipt to self-accumulate points — no physical cards, no app downloads. Configure rules like "₱100 spent = 1 point" and "100 points = ₱50 off" in the dashboard. Point notifications can be delivered through the customer's browser.

Question 31

Can I issue coupons / discount codes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The dashboard supports multiple promo rules: (1) store-wide discount (e.g., 20% off); (2) threshold discount (₱50 off ₱500+); (3) item-specific discount (signature dish 30% off limited time); (4) buy-one-get-one-half-off; (5) customer-exclusive codes (for regulars). Coupons can have expiration dates, usage limits, and per-customer limits.

Question 32

How does the spin wheel feature work?

Accepted Answer

After a customer completes an order, they can scan a QR code to enter the spin wheel page. Configure prizes (discount coupons, free side, free drink, "spin again", etc.) and probability per prize (segment angles match probabilities). Each customer gets one spin per order (sessionStorage prevents replays); winning results save to membership or display on screen for the customer to redeem.

Question 33

Can I collect customer reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Post-checkout, the system can optionally display a "rate us" page (1–5 stars). High ratings (4–5 stars) auto-redirect to your Google Business Profile to leave a public review (boosting your local ranking). Low ratings (1–3 stars) stay in your dashboard for private follow-up (avoiding public negative reviews). Aggregate scores can feed schema.org AggregateRating to display stars in search results.

Question 34

How are staff permissions configured (owner / manager / staff)?

Accepted Answer

PRO supports role-based permissions: (1) Owner — sees all data, edits menu, sees financials; (2) Manager — sees own store, manages shifts, sees daily revenue; (3) Staff — orders + checkout + own orders only, no financials. Each staff has separate login; all actions are logged.

Question 35

How do I manage staff across multiple stores?

Accepted Answer

In multi-store setups, each staff account can be assigned to one or multiple branches. Example: Staff A handles only Store A; Regional Manager B sees Stores A+B+C; HQ C sees everything. The dashboard supports cross-store shift swaps and staff sales leaderboards.

Question 36

Is there a shift / scheduling feature?

Accepted Answer

PRO includes shift management: staff see schedules on their phone, request swaps, clock in/out, and view accumulated hours. The system auto-calculates hours, separates weekday / weekend / overtime, and exports payroll CSV for accounting. Reduces the owner's monthly hour-tallying burden.

Question 37

Does OrderEase open APIs / Webhooks for developers?

Accepted Answer

Available on Enterprise plans. Provides: (1) REST APIs to read orders, menu, revenue data; (2) Webhooks to push order events (created, checkout, canceled) in real time; (3) OAuth 2.0 authentication. Common integrations: self-hosted loyalty systems, ERP inventory sync, custom analytics dashboards, custom invoicing flows. Contact sales for API docs and pricing.

Question 38

Can I import existing menu data from another POS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CSV / Excel bulk menu import is supported (item name, price, category, customizations, image links) — hundreds of items in one upload. For migrations from specific vendors, support can help with format conversion. If old images cannot be exported, re-shoot with a phone (one afternoon for a full menu).

Question 39

What if a table number is wrong or customers sit at the wrong table?

Accepted Answer

The dashboard POS has one-click "transfer table": move from the original table to the correct one, all unsettled orders auto-follow. Common scenarios: customers move to a larger table next door, two tables merge, dine-in switching to takeout. More reliable than fixing manually with paper notes on traditional POS.

Question 40

What customer payment methods are supported?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase supports the payment methods Philippine diners expect: cash, credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB), GCash, Maya, and QR Ph. Card and e-wallet processing is handled by a licensed, PCI DSS-certified payment provider, so transactions are secure. Additional payment methods will be added over time.

Question 41

Is online payment secure? Are customer credit card details stored?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is secure. All electronic payment transactions are processed by a licensed payment provider — OrderEase never directly handles or stores any credit card information. The provider holds PCI DSS certification (the highest international payment security standard), and all transaction data is encrypted via SSL/TLS.

Question 42

Can the system issue BIR sales invoices?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase is designed to generate BIR-registered sales invoices at checkout, with the mandatory fields (registered name, TIN, address, controlled serial number, itemized lines, and VAT breakdown for VAT-registered sellers). Because BIR requires computerized invoicing to be registered with your own Revenue District Office (RDO), each merchant completes this registration for their business — our onboarding team helps you prepare the documents and configure the system so your invoices are compliant from day one. The invoicing tools are part of the PRO plan.

Question 43

How do I view daily and monthly revenue reports?

Accepted Answer

The merchant dashboard offers comprehensive analytics, including daily/weekly/monthly sales overviews, best-selling item rankings, payment method breakdowns, order time-of-day analysis (peak hours), table turnover rates, and more. All reports can be exported as CSV or Excel files for bookkeeping and tax filing.

Question 44

How is the subscription fee charged? What payment methods are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Subscription fees are billed monthly with automatic charges at the start of each month. We currently accept credit card (Visa/Mastercard) auto-pay. The first 30 days are completely free, and billing only starts after the trial ends. There is no surprise charge — the system will notify you to confirm whether you wish to continue.

Question 45

If customers self-order via QR code, will they complain when we still charge a service charge?

Accepted Answer

Whether to charge a service charge, and at what rate, is entirely up to you — OrderEase never enforces one. You can configure the dashboard to: (1) charge no service fee at all; (2) charge a service charge on dine-in only and waive it on takeout; (3) charge a smaller "digital service fee"; or (4) any custom rule that fits your operation. Practical guidance: if your venue offers no table service (pure self-order, self-pickup, self-clear), a service charge is more likely to draw complaints; if staff still bring food to the table, refill water, clear plates, and provide other tangible service, the charge is reasonable and common. We recommend disclosing the service charge policy clearly on the menu and checkout pages so customers are not surprised. The final call is yours — OrderEase provides the tools, not the policy.

Question 46

Who pays the card / e-wallet processing fee? Will the store be charged extra by OrderEase?

Accepted Answer

Processing fees are set by the payment provider (for cards) or the e-wallet operators (GCash, Maya, QR Ph), and stores settle those directly with the provider. OrderEase takes no extra cut on top. In practice, most stores fold the fee into their pricing rather than charging customers separately, keeping prices transparent. For typical current rates, see our guide on GCash, Maya & QR Ph fees for Philippine restaurants.

Question 47

Are there discounts for quarterly or annual payment?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase primarily offers month-to-month subscriptions to preserve your flexibility. For long-term commitments, contact sales for Enterprise: annual payment typically gets 1–2 months free (10–17% discount), but requires an annual contract.

Question 48

What is the difference between the STARTER and PRO plans?

Accepted Answer

STARTER plan (₱2,580/month): QR code ordering, menu management, table management, real-time order notifications, basic revenue reports, and email/chat support. PRO plan (₱3,280/month): everything in STARTER, plus POS checkout, Kitchen Display System (KDS), advanced analytics, shift management, offline mode, order split/merge, BIR sales-invoice tools (onboarding-assisted), and multi-location management. Both plans include unlimited menu items and order volume.

Question 49

Can I try it for free first?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Every new account comes with a 30-day free trial with full access to all features — identical to the paid version. No credit card is required, and you will not be charged during the trial. You can complete registration, build your menu, print QR codes, and start accepting orders in just 5 minutes. After the trial ends, the system will ask if you would like to subscribe — there is no automatic billing.

Question 50

Is there a contract? Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

OrderEase is completely contract-free. It is a monthly subscription that you can cancel at any time with no penalties or cancellation fees. We believe a great product earns your continued subscription, so we never lock you into a contract. After cancellation, you can continue using the service until the end of the current billing period, and your data is retained for 30 days for export.

Question 51

How do I upgrade from STARTER to PRO?

Accepted Answer

In the merchant dashboard under "Subscription Plan," click "Upgrade to PRO" to upgrade instantly. All PRO features become available immediately, and the price difference is prorated based on remaining days (no double charging). If you want to downgrade, submit the request before the next billing cycle and continue enjoying PRO features until the end of the month.

Question 52

Are there enterprise plans for restaurant chains or multi-location businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you have 3 or more locations, we would love to discuss an enterprise plan. We can offer centralized multi-store management, bulk menu configuration, unified reporting and financial management, dedicated support, and custom feature development. Please reach out through our website contact form.

Question 53

How does OrderEase compare to typical tablet POS systems?

Accepted Answer

Three core differences from traditional tablet POS: (1) Cost structure — OrderEase starts at ₱2,580/month with no hardware deposit, no setup fee, and no annual contract. Most tablet POS systems require purchasing or leasing tablets plus peripherals (a one-time cost in the tens of thousands of pesos) bundled with an annual contract. (2) Deployment speed — OrderEase runs entirely in a browser, so your existing phone, tablet, computer, or POS terminal works out of the box; you can be live in 15 minutes. Tablet POS deployments require waiting on hardware to arrive and be installed. (3) QR-code dine-in ordering — included as a core feature in OrderEase at no extra charge, while most tablet POS systems offer it as a paid add-on module. What is comparable: full KDS, menu management, revenue analytics, and BIR sales-invoice support are all available. We recommend trying the 30-day free trial to validate the fit, and you can find a detailed selection guide in our blog.

Question 54

What is the refund policy? Can I get a refund if not satisfied after subscribing?

Accepted Answer

30-day free trial: completely free, zero risk. After trial, first charge: full refund (pro-rated) within 7 days if not satisfied. From month 2: month-to-month subscription, current month's charge is non-refundable, but you can cancel next month's billing anytime — no penalties or cancellation fees.

Question 55

How does OrderEase compare to chat-app ordering / self-service kiosks / branded apps?

Accepted Answer

Quick comparison: (1) **Chat-app ordering (Messenger/Facebook)** — no app download, but customers must message your page and you process orders by hand; suits small takeout-focused venues with an existing social following. (2) **Self-service kiosks** — one-time hardware cost in the tens of thousands of pesos; suits fast-food chains with high foot traffic. (3) **Branded apps** — most native UX, but customers must download + register; suits large chains. (4) **OrderEase (QR-native SaaS)** — no download, no signup, no follow required; runs in the browser; ₱2,580/month; suits small-to-mid dine-in venues, cafés, and budget-conscious operators.

Question 56

Why does OrderEase not lock customers to specific hardware (like tablets) the way other POS systems do?

Accepted Answer

Hardware lock-in (must buy or lease specific tablets) hurts venues: (1) one-time hardware cost in the tens of thousands of pesos; (2) when a tablet breaks, you wait for vendor repair; (3) hardware becomes scrap when switching vendors. OrderEase runs purely in browsers — your existing phone, tablet, laptop, or old POS terminal works. This is a design philosophy difference: returning hardware choice to the venue.

Question 57

I run a small stall / carinderia with low monthly revenue — is this monthly fee worth it?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: ₱2,580/month only makes sense once it pays for itself. Suggestions: (1) try the 30-day free trial first to verify whether faster turnover and labor savings can lift revenue by several thousand pesos a month; (2) if you only operate a few days a week, you can start with a simple order form and adopt OrderEase once volume grows. We will not push a plan that does not fit you.

Question 58

Is there a referral reward for recommending OrderEase to other restaurant owners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a referral program: successfully refer a paying restaurant, and both parties get one month's subscription credit (₱2,580 off). Refer 5+ for additional rewards. See the dashboard "Referrals" page or contact support. Just share your unique referral link with friends.

Question 59

Is the system secure? Could my restaurant data be leaked or lost?

Accepted Answer

Data security is our top priority. All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption. Servers are hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with daily automatic backups (retained for 30 days). The system uses a tenant-isolation architecture — each restaurant's data is completely separated and inaccessible to others. Your business data, order records, and customer information are protected by multiple layers of security.

Question 60

Can the system still work if the internet goes down?

Accepted Answer

The PRO plan includes an offline mode. When the network is temporarily interrupted, the POS checkout can continue accepting and processing orders. Data is stored locally and automatically syncs to the cloud once connectivity is restored. The STARTER plan requires a stable internet connection — we recommend keeping a mobile hotspot as a backup. QR code ordering requires the customer's phone to have internet access.

Question 61

What devices and browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

The merchant dashboard works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and devices (desktop, tablet, phone). The customer ordering interface is optimized for mobile browsers and fully supports iOS Safari and Android Chrome. We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Safari for the best experience.

Question 62

Is system uptime and reliability guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

We guarantee 99.9% uptime (SLA). The system uses a high-availability architecture with global CDN acceleration and multiple redundant servers to ensure no single point of failure affects the service. Our monitoring system automatically detects anomalies 24/7, often resolving issues proactively before they impact users.

Question 63

Can I export my data? What happens if I do not renew?

Accepted Answer

You fully own your data. From the dashboard, you can export all order records, menu data, and customer information at any time (CSV/Excel format). If you cancel your subscription, your data is retained for 30 days, giving you plenty of time to export backups. After 30 days, all data is permanently deleted from our servers.

Question 64

If we do not have Wi-Fi in the venue, will ordering be slow over mobile data?

Accepted Answer

No, not noticeably. The ordering page is performance-optimized — first-screen load under 2 seconds, dish photos auto-compressed to WebP and served via a global CDN — so 4G feels essentially the same as Wi-Fi, and 5G is even faster. We still recommend offering customer Wi-Fi for two reasons: (1) "Free Wi-Fi" creates a positive impression and is a low-cost service upgrade; (2) some elderly guests, foreign tourists, or prepaid-SIM users have unstable mobile data, and venue Wi-Fi makes the experience more reliable. If you have weak signal in specific areas (basement, kitchen-side seating), a Wi-Fi range extender solves it — contact support if you need recommendations.
