Why switch · the honest price
Everyone else hides the price. Here’s ours — and theirs.
Most Indian POS quotes start small, then balloon once loyalty, analytics, WhatsApp and the kitchen display get added — plus a ₹15,000–₹40,000 hardware bill. We put the whole number on this page.

One product, five surfaces
Every role gets a screen that speaks its language
The guest sees a menu. The kitchen sees fires. Staff see the floor. You see the next thing that needs you. Same system underneath.
Tap, see the menu, order — nothing else
NFC tap or QR scan opens your menu in the browser instantly. No app, no login, no OTP wall — the order fires straight to the kitchen. The printed menu still works, and staff can take it on the pad.
- No app · no login · no OTP — unlike legacy “scan & order”
- Veg / Jain / allergen & spice filters, photos, fast load
- Split the bill by item · UPI-first checkout
A one-hand order pad built for the 8:30 rush
Captains start from the live floor map, not a clunky POS form. Repeat rounds, modifiers, hold/fire and bill requests are a thumb away on any phone or tablet you already own.
- Live table map with timers and open tabs
- Modifier prompts, service notes, manager overrides
- Drafts survive a dropped connection
Clean KOTs on a display — no duplicate tickets
Orders route to the right station automatically. Each ticket is de-duplicated, timed and bump-able. Keep your Epson/Star thermal printer — DineDirector bridges to it.
- Station routing: tandoor, curry, bar, pantry
- Per-item ready / remake / sold-out
- Thermal print bridge for legacy kitchens
Today’s revenue, live floor, and what needs you — first
Revenue, covers, kitchen load and guest issues in real time. Exceptions rise to the top with context, so you act before a delay becomes a one-star review.
- Live revenue, orders and average rating
- Menu engineering and item performance
- Roles, approvals and a tamper-evident audit trail
Own your guests
Every dine-in order is a direct order — not one you rent back from an aggregator.
A 30-orders-a-day room loses well over a lakh a month to 18–28% aggregator commissions before food cost, rent or wages. Your own QR/NFC channel keeps those guests — and their data — yours. Money settles straight to you; we never hold your funds.
- Yoursguest, order & contact data — not the platform’s
- 0%third-party commission on a direct dine-in order
- Directsettlement — no gateway float holding your cash
Trust · clean books
Books you can hand the auditor without flinching.
After 2024, “can my POS quietly delete a bill?” is a fair question to ask your vendor. With DineDirector, every order and bill is immutably logged and tamper-evident — idempotency keys, an append-only event log, and a replayable audit trail of every action. Clean GST records by design, not by trust.

The order pad and kitchen display learn in minutes — beside your existing POS, on hardware you already have.

Guests order, the kitchen cooks, the floor stays calm, and you get clean numbers — from one system.

Straight answers
The things owners ask us first
I already pay Petpooja / UrbanPiper / DotPe — why switch?
You don’t switch on day one. Run DineDirector beside your current system in Sidecar mode on one section, keep your printer, pay monthly, and move more only when the floor trusts it. Most owners are surprised what their “base plan” actually costs once add-ons and hardware are stacked on — our price is the one on this page.
Do my guests need to download an app or get an OTP?
Never. They tap an NFC sticker or scan a QR and the menu opens in the browser — no app, no login, no OTP. The order fires to the kitchen instantly. The printed menu keeps working and older guests can still order through staff.
Will it survive the dinner rush and a flaky network?
That’s the whole point. Orders queue locally and sync, the hot path is idempotent and auditable, and we don’t freeze or club tickets at peak. When the network or UPI blinks, you fall back to pay-at-counter — never a double charge, never a lost order.
Is my GST data safe — will this get me in trouble?
Every order and bill is immutably logged and tamper-evident by design — books you can hand an auditor without flinching. Data stays in Indian cloud regions with per-tenant isolation, least-privilege access, and a replayable audit trail of every action.
Will hidden costs creep in like everyone else?
The price you see is the price. KDS and analytics are included in your tier, not sold as add-ons. Only GST, payment-gateway fees, special hardware and custom integrations are billed separately — and there’s no annual lock-in.
Does it work for hotels and multi-outlet brands?
Yes. The Group plan adds central menu governance, HQ approvals, outlet benchmarking and group-level CRM, with role-based access per outlet.
