diniQA

Start your shift, tap into the register, and let diniQA guide the flow of service. Set up menus with modifiers, combos, and timed pricing in minutes. Map printers or kitchen screens by station, define tax rules, surcharges, and tip pooling, then lay out your floor plan with sections and turn-time targets. Build reservation rules, waitlist settings, and pickup windows. Add staff, assign roles and permissions, and connect card readers or barcode scanners. Everything saves to the cloud, so changes appear instantly on every device and location.

During service, take orders at the table, counter, or over the phone using the same interface. Search items, apply modifiers, and accept upsell prompts for add‑ons or sides. Split checks by seat or item, transfer tabs between tables or servers, and accept cards, cash, gift cards, and digital wallets. Enroll guests into loyalty with one tap and keep profiles with past orders, preferences, and notes. Text or email receipts, handle returns with reason codes, and log comps and discounts with required approvals. Manage bookings and walk‑ins from the same screen—seat parties, move them between sections, and see real‑time table status without leaving the POS.

In the kitchen, the display shows orders by course and station with timers, color coding, and bump/recall. Fire mains when appetizers hit the pass, and hold or expedite items as needed. 86 an ingredient and the app hides affected dishes online and on the register instantly. Inventory counts pull down with each sale; when par levels hit thresholds, raise a low‑stock alert or generate a draft purchase. For off‑premise, dispatch drivers with built‑in routing and delivery zones, batch nearby drops, and track status from out‑for‑delivery to completed. Customers receive live updates, and you keep tips, fees, and payouts organized automatically.

Managers monitor the day from a single dashboard: sales by hour and channel, category mix, voids and comps with audit trails, labor vs. revenue, and top performers. Schedule happy hours, dayparts, and promotional pricing in advance. Sync orders, payouts, taxes, and refunds to your accounting system to reduce manual entries. Run loyalty and gift card programs with full breakage and liability reporting. Tie in eCommerce for merch or meal kits and use barcode scanning to speed retail checkout. For groups, control menus and prices centrally while allowing locations to adjust availability. At close, reconcile drawers, export end‑of‑day summaries, and push updates overnight so the next shift starts clean.
