Most restaurants do not choose this. It accumulates: a POS bought years ago, an ordering tool added when delivery took off, a notebook for the kitchen, a marketplace app on the counter. Each one works. The cost is in the gaps between them.
Foodify is a complete restaurant platform you buy once and own outright. You get the full source code — the Laravel and Vue web platform, plus the Merchant and Delivery Boy apps in Flutter — and we can deploy it on your own servers within 3 days. It is multi-tenant from the ground up, so one installation can run a single restaurant or a whole portfolio of them.
Separate tools mean the counter does not know what the website sold, the kitchen reads a handwritten slip, and the end of a shift is a drawer counted against three different screens. Nothing here is broken — a POS is a POS, and paper tickets have run kitchens for a century. But every order crosses a gap by hand, and every gap is a place where an order is missed, a table is billed twice, or cash goes unaccounted for.
| Features | Foodify | Paper & Separate Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Order from the Website | Lands in the same system the counter uses | Re-typed into the POS by hand |
| Kitchen Tickets | Split automatically — grill to the grill, bar to the bar, each with its own number | Written out and carried through |
| Second and Third Rounds | A new ticket on the same order, timestamped | Another slip, and hopefully the same table |
| Table Status | Every table colour-coded by area, guests and waiter assigned | Known by whoever is on the floor |
| Splitting a Bill | Equal 2, 3 or 4 ways, or custom amounts, mixing cash, card and mobile banking | Worked out on a calculator |
| End of Shift | Opening balance, counted close, variance on the spot | Drawer against receipts, and a guess at the difference |
| Delivery Orders | Through to delivered, with the customer notified at each step | A phone call, and a marketplace commission |
| Several Branches | One account, switch outlet in a click, reports per branch | A separate everything, per branch |
The argument for separate tools is that each one is good at its job, and that is true. The argument against is that a restaurant is not separate jobs. An order taken at the table is the same order the kitchen cooks, the same one the customer pays for, and the same one that shows up in the night's takings — and every time it is copied from one system to another by a person in a hurry, it can go wrong.
The gap that costs most is the one between the website and the counter. An order that arrives on a marketplace app is re-typed, and the marketplace keeps a share of it. Foodify gives the restaurant its own ordering site, sends the order straight to the same screen the counter uses, and routes the payment to the restaurant's own gateway — no re-typing, and no commission.
This is the difference everything else follows from. You get the complete codebase and host it yourself, so nobody can raise your price, change your terms or switch your platform off. Subscription software never gives you this, whatever tier you are on.
You pay once. There is no monthly fee, no per-order cut and no charge for adding another outlet. A subscription that looks small at one restaurant becomes your largest fixed cost by the tenth — and you have nothing to show for the years you paid it.
Multi-tenancy, plans, usage limits, trials and Stripe billing are already built and working. You can sign restaurants onto your own plans and keep every payment — turning the software you bought into a business you run, not just a tool you use.
Customer records, order history and payment settings stay on infrastructure you control. You set the backups, the uptime and the privacy policy, and nothing phones home to us. Standard Laravel 12, Vue 3 and Flutter, so any competent developer can maintain it.
If the counter, the kitchen and the website are three different systems today, the gain from joining them is not a feature. It is the orders that stop falling between them.
Foodify runs the floor, the kitchen and the ordering site as one system, on your own server, deployed within 3 days.
