Counter
POS register
An order in a few taps. Fast Lane holds your best sellers in one fixed position, and Quick Tender closes a cash sale without arithmetic.
Restaurant operating system
The restaurant operating system that adapts to how you serve.
The register, the kitchen, the walk-in, your staff and the money in one system — so two screens can never disagree about what happened.
- Certified offline
- $149 per location, per month
- $0 from your card processing
One system
Register, kitchen, shelf, staff and money — on one record.
Not five products with integrations between them. Every screen is a projection of the same event log, which is why none of them can drift.
Pass
Kitchen
Tickets arrive with modifiers laid out and an age readable across the pass. Kitchen station routing sends each item to the station that makes it.
Walk-in
Inventory
Firing a ticket takes the build off the shelf by itself. Waste and deliveries are recorded where they happen, with no connection.
Back office
Workforce clocking
Clock in at the counter or from a phone. Breaks, corrections that keep the original punch, overtime split by your policy.
Guests
Guest ordering
Your guests order from the menu the till uses, at the same prices, because it is the same menu — not a copy that drifts.
Ledger
Money and reconciliation
Sales, collections, refunds and the business day are each defined once and read from one place. Two screens cannot quietly count differently.
Everywhere
Offline
Not a degraded mode. Staff sign in, the menu loads, orders are taken and the kitchen keeps working with no connection at all.
POS
A register built for the rush
Seven on a Friday is the only benchmark that matters. Every one of these was proven on the tablet, not on a slide.
- Fast Lane keeps your best sellers in one fixed position, so the tap never moves.
- Offline menu search finds an item as it is typed, with no round trip to a server.
- Default builds mean an item arrives configured; staff change only what differs.
- Modifier groups and quantities handle sizes, options and quantities within the limits you set.
- Quick Tender takes a note and shows the change without anyone doing sums.
Kitchen
The kitchen sees the order, not a printout
Each item goes to the station that makes it. The espresso bar sees drinks, the grill sees grill, and a ticket that needs both says so.
- Station boards. Each station gets its own screen, or one screen shows the whole kitchen.
- Routing is fixed when the order fires. Change the menu at noon and the ticket already cooking does not rearrange itself.
- Waiting on tells a cook which other station is holding a ticket up.
- Bumping is one large tap, and a screen that restarts comes back to the same board.
Reconciliation
Know why the numbers are different
Every restaurant system can show you a total. The question that costs an owner a Sunday is why two totals disagree — and that is the one DineStack is built to answer.
- 1 — CounterOrder
- 2 — KitchenTicket
- 3 — TenderPayment
- 4 — ProcessorSettlement
- 5 — BankDeposit
One definition of a sale
Sales, collections, refunds and the business day are defined once. A figure does not change depending on which screen you opened.
Follow a figure back to the order
Order-level detail the whole way along. When the deposit and the till disagree, DineStack can show you which sale it was.
Unknown says unknown
A payment whose outcome never came back is held as in doubt — not rounded into a decline, not hidden as a zero.
Offline
Built to keep working
The internet going down should cost you a line, not a service. DineStack runs on the tablet itself, and the screen always says which state it is in.
- Certified with no connection: staff sign-in, the full menu, search, taking orders, the kitchen board, and cash tender.
- Orders queue and sync once. When the line comes back everything reconciles — never twice, whatever anyone tapped meanwhile.
- The state is on the screen. Online, offline, syncing. Nothing degrades quietly.
What offline does not cover. Card payments run through Stripe Terminal. The server side is live-verified; the reader itself has not yet been certified on our hardware. Taking a card needs the reader and the processor to be reachable, so card acceptance depends on your connection and your payment provider in a way that cash does not. The till says so rather than failing a sale silently.
Adaptive
It adapts to how you actually serve
A coffee bar and a fast-casual kitchen do not run the same way, and they do not get the same screens. Nobody taps past a button their restaurant will never use.
Coffee
A latte arrives already built the way you make it. The barista changes only what the guest asked to have different.
- Latte
- Default build
- Modifiers
- Espresso bar
Fast casual
An entree is configured at the counter, routed to the station that cooks it, and called when it is up.
- Entree
- Modifiers
- Kitchen station
- Pickup
- Coffee shops
- Fast food and QSR
- Fast casual
- Mediterranean
Hardware
There is no DineStack terminal
DineStack runs on ordinary Android tablets you can buy anywhere. We take no margin on a device, and we publish what has actually been tested rather than claiming every Android tablet works.
- Tablets you buy anywhere. One at the counter is enough, and up to six per location. The kitchen screen is the same kind of tablet.
- Enrolled with a setup code. A tablet joins your restaurant in a few seconds, and the same signed build runs on all of them.
- The card reader comes from your payment provider, shipped directly to the restaurant at their price. Where a tablet has NFC, cards can be taken on the device with no reader at all.
The photograph is being taken.
Rather than show a rendering of hardware that does not exist, this frame stays empty until the real tablet has been photographed.
