What it fixes on day one
Orders shouted or scribbled between floor and kitchen get missed or made wrong.
Every order fires as a printed KOT or kitchen-display ticket, so the pass cooks exactly what was rung in.
A table of friends wants to split the bill and the counter grinds to a halt.
One bill per table with split tender lets you divide by person or payment mode without re-keying the order.
You know the night's takings but never the true margin on each dish.
Recipe and food-cost tracking links every dish to ingredient cost, so you see profit per plate, not just sales.
How a restaurant & café (dine-in) runs on Alfa Decode
Alfa Decode runs your dine-in floor the way a restaurant actually works: a live table plan, orders that fire straight to the kitchen as KOTs, and one bill per table with split tender when a group wants to pay separately. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery share the same menu and the same books, so a modifier change or a price update lands everywhere at once. When the broadband drops mid-service, billing keeps running local-first and syncs the moment it is back.
Behind the counter it is still a full business platform. Recipe and food-cost tracking tie every dish back to its ingredients and weighted-average cost, so you see margin, not just takings. Purchase and goods-receipt notes with batch, expiry and FEFO keep the store honest for perishables. Tax is filing-ready out of the box — GST for India, VAT for the UAE and KSA — and the day-close Z-report, P&L and customer credit ledgers close the loop each night.

Restaurant & Café (Dine-in) software — your questions
Does the restaurant POS keep working if the internet goes down?
Yes. Alfa Decode is local-first and runs on your own device with no internet, so you keep seating tables, firing KOTs and settling bills during an outage. Everything syncs to the cloud automatically once you reconnect.
Does it handle GST in India and VAT in the UAE?
Yes. GST invoices and reports for India and VAT for the UAE are built in. Every Bill and Settle becomes a compliant tax sale, with reports ready whenever you need them for your accounts.
Can I send orders straight to the kitchen?
Yes. As your staff take an order it goes to the kitchen as a KOT and appears on a live Kitchen Display for the cooks, so there is no walking back and forth and nothing gets missed during a rush.
Can guests get their bill on WhatsApp?
Yes. You can print the bill or send it over WhatsApp at settlement. The built-in Guest CRM also lets you send offers and reminders over WhatsApp and keep a history of what each guest orders.
Does stock update as we sell dishes?
Yes. Manage your menu in the app and ingredient and product stock deducts automatically as items are sold, so you can see what is running low and reorder before you run out mid-service.
Can I run more than one outlet?
Yes. Alfa Decode rolls up multiple outlets into one Executive dashboard, so you can compare branches and see sales across all of them in one place. It is available as Cloud subscription or On-Premise licence.
Does it handle dine-in, takeaway and delivery together?
Yes. All three run off the same menu and books, so a price or modifier change applies everywhere at once. Delivery can connect to aggregator online-ordering, and each channel reports separately at day-close.
Can it print kitchen tickets and split bills for large tables?
Yes. Confirmed orders fire as KOTs to a kitchen printer or display, and any table can be settled with split tender across cash and cards, or divided by person, without re-ringing the order.
Will it keep working if the internet goes down mid-service?
Yes. The app is offline-first, so billing, KOTs and the table plan keep running on the local device during an outage and sync to the cloud automatically once the connection returns.
Does it track food cost and tax for us?
Recipe and food-cost tracking ties each dish to ingredient cost using weighted-average pricing, so you see margin per plate. Tax is filing-ready for GST, UAE VAT and KSA ZATCA, with day-close Z-reports and P&L.
