actually operate
Four principles that set RestaurantOS apart from generic CMMS tools that don't understand kitchens.
Replace the binder, not the POS you love
RestaurantOS integrates with your POS, accounting, and HR tools — it doesn't replace them. It fills the operational gap between front-of-house and back-of-house so nothing falls through the cracks.
IntegrationsHACCP compliance built in, not bolted on
Temperature logs, receiving checks, cleaning schedules, and pest control — all digitally signed, timestamped, and audit-ready. Health inspectors get a PDF. You keep the peace of mind.
Food SafetyYour restaurant's brain, not just its clipboard
Every work order, every checklist, every equipment swap builds institutional memory that survives staff turnover. Seasonal teams rotate — your knowledge stays.
Institutional MemoryOpen source, no lock-in
Inspect the code. Host it yourself. Leave whenever you want. We earn your business every month with a platform that delivers value, not vendor lock-in.
AGPL-3.0in your restaurant
From the multi-unit owner checking KPIs on her phone to the kitchen manager running prep with greasy hands — RestaurantOS adapts to every user.
Carlos, 48
Runs 6 locations across two cities. Currently juggles WhatsApp groups, paper binders, and monthly manager check-ins to understand what's really happening in each kitchen.
Ania, 32
Runs the busiest location. Opens at 6 AM, closes at midnight. Loses track of which walk-in needs a compressor check and which hood vent is overdue for cleaning. Paper checklists vanish.
David, 56
Invested €800K across 3 franchise locations and gets "everything's fine" until a health inspector finds critical violations or a walk-in cooler fails and destroys €5K in inventory.
kitchen needs to run
See how RestaurantOS transforms a restaurant opening from scrambling through binders to structured, tracked execution.
Open the app
Ania arrives and opens RestaurantOS on her phone. Today's Opening Procedures are organized by zone — kitchen, walk-ins, dining area — ready to go.
Run HACCP checks
She taps Walk-In Cooler #1. Temperature readings, product dating, and cleanliness checks appear. Photo evidence captured at each step — digitally signed.
Flag an issue
The prep station's refrigerated drawer is reading 9°C — too warm. She taps "Report Issue", snaps a photo, selects "Critical", and submits in 20 seconds.
Carlos sees it instantly
Carlos's dashboard updates: Location 3 has a critical equipment flag, a work order is auto-assigned to the HVAC contractor — before he's finished his espresso.
