Everything you need to run
your restaurant on Dine Tap

What is Dine Tap

Dine Tap is a QR-native platform that runs the whole guest journey for a restaurant — menu, ordering, billing, loyalty, reservations and reporting — with no app download for guests and no hardware to install.

A guest scans the QR on their table, the branded menu opens instantly, they order and pay from their own phone, and every order lands live on your dashboard and kitchen screen. Behind the counter, the same platform gives you a POS, inventory, staff roles, promotions, banquet bookings and consolidated Zomato/Swiggy orders — replacing a stack of separate tools with one system.

The three apps

Dine Tap is three connected apps sharing one real-time database.

Quick start

You can be live in minutes — no setup fee, no hardware.

Tables & QR codes

Every table gets its own QR code carrying a secure, non-guessable token — so a guest can only order for the table they're actually seated at, and a saved link can't be reused from home.

• Add / edit / delete tables with a label, seat count and zone (e.g. Rooftop, AC hall).
• Download each QR to print — place it on the table or a standee.
• Reset QR instantly if a printed code is lost or compromised; the old one stops working.
• Deactivate a table to take it offline without deleting its history.

Menu management

Your menu is fully editable and updates on every guest's phone the moment you save — no reprinting.

• Categories — add, rename inline, reorder and remove.
• Dishes — name, price, description, veg / non-veg / egg marker, and a photo.
• Availability toggle — mark an item sold-out in one tap; it greys out for guests instantly.
• Inline price edits and drag-free quick actions for fast day-to-day changes.

How guests order

Zero friction — no app, no sign-up, no waiting for a waiter.

Kitchen Display System (KDS)

The kitchen screen replaces paper tickets. New orders appear the instant they're placed and can auto-print a KOT on an 80mm thermal printer.

• Live tickets grouped by status, with an aging timer that flags orders sitting too long.
• One-tap bump from Preparing to Ready — the guest's tracker updates in real time.
• Auto-print KOT on each new order, plus reprint on demand.
• Consolidated — dine-in, takeaway and Zomato/Swiggy orders all land on the same board.

POS & billing

A full point-of-sale terminal for walk-ins, counter and phone orders — staff can build an order, send it to the kitchen and settle the bill.

• Floor map of tables showing which are occupied, with open/close controls.
• Build & fire orders to the kitchen; add items to a running table.
• Settle bills with Cash / UPI / Card, apply a discount (permission-gated), and print an 80mm customer bill.
• GST-ready totals computed from your configured tax rate.

Online payments

Guests can pay their bill online from the order screen. Dine Tap integrates with Razorpay for UPI, cards and net-banking.

• Payment amounts are created and verified server-side against the actual order.
• On success the order is marked paid and loyalty points are awarded.
• Runs in safe demo mode until you add your Razorpay keys, then flips live with no code change.

Loyalty & customers

Every order builds a customer profile automatically — no cards, no separate app.

• Points on every bill, with tiers (e.g. Bronze → Silver → Gold) that unlock perks.
• Guest directory ranked by points, with visits and lifetime spend.
• Digital loyalty card guests open from the same QR menu — no plastic.
• Feeds directly into targeted offers and campaigns.

Offers & marketing

Turn guest data into repeat visits.

Offers & coupons

• Create % off or ₹ off offers, optionally locked to a loyalty tier or a coupon code.
• Toggle offers on/off, edit or delete them anytime.

Campaigns & alerts

• Automatic alerts — "order ready" and "booking confirmed" fire on their own.
• Promo blasts to opted-in guests — target everyone, loyalty members, or win back lapsed diners.
• Delivered over WhatsApp / SMS; queues safely until you connect a provider (Gupshup / MSG91).

Table reservations

Take and manage table bookings end to end.

• Guests request a table (date, time, party size) from the menu; you get it instantly.
• Manage the pipeline: requested → confirmed → seated → completed, or decline / no-show.
• Confirmations can auto-notify the guest.

Banquet halls & events

For restaurants with function halls or party rooms — list your spaces and manage event bookings.

• Halls — capacity, pricing (per slot / plate / hour), area, amenities (AC, Stage, Parking…) and a photo.
• Event bookings — hall, date, time slot, occasion (Wedding, Corporate…), party size and guest details.
• Money tracking — total, advance paid and balance due per event.
• Status flow — enquiry → confirmed → completed / cancelled.

Inventory

Keep stock in check without a heavy ERP.

• Track stock items with units and low-stock thresholds.
• Recipes link dishes to ingredients so stock auto-deducts as items sell.
• Restock in a tap; low-stock items are flagged.

Team & roles

Add staff with their own logins and give each person exactly the access they need.

Multi-outlet

Run several locations from one account.

• Switch outlets from the sidebar; each has its own menu, tables, staff and data.
• Group dashboard — a consolidated view of sales, orders, live activity and guests across every outlet.
• Add a new outlet in a tap.

Delivery aggregators

Bring Zomato and Swiggy onto the same board as your dine-in orders — one kitchen, one queue.

• Connect each platform with your store ID and auto-accept preference.
• Push your menu to the platform, and pull their orders in via webhook.
• Aggregator orders show a coloured channel badge on the live board and count toward sales.

Pricing

One simple annual plan — with 90 days free on your first year. No setup fee, no hardware, no per-order commission.
