Plan the move around your restaurant.
Keep your existing system while you prepare and test RestaKit. Switch each workflow when your team is ready.
Getting started
Tell us what you need
Tell us which tasks and connections matter to your restaurant. We can help with setup or quote for custom work.
Choose hosting and installation
Use your hosting account and pay the host directly. Early access includes deployment, installation and human testing for up to three locations sharing one menu. Different menus are quoted separately. We help you prepare the hosting access needed for setup.
Test a shift
Check alongside your existing system:
- Orders, choices and extras, and kitchen tickets.
- Bills and the payment setup you have confirmed.
- Closing figures and exports.
- Staff permissions and service devices.
- Backup and recovery procedures.
RestaKit or your developer can help with these checks and any adjustments before you switch.
Choose ongoing help
Choose RestaKit, your developer or your own team to manage hosting, access, updates and backups. Keep the installation and operating instructions available. Ongoing services are separate from deployment.
Hosting your software
For installation options, see Choose hosting and installation.
If you manage these yourself, follow the operating instructions. Initial deployment for up to three locations sharing one menu is included with early access. Different menus are quoted separately. Hosting and ongoing services are paid separately.
Use RestaKit on your phone, tablet or computer.
Access your restaurant software through a web browser. Choose a screen that suits the job, from browsing the menu on a phone to managing service on a larger display.
Devices and screens
Use an up-to-date browser and choose a comfortable screen size for each task.
| Task | Suitable screen |
|---|---|
| Guest menus and ordering | a smartphone or tablet. |
| Table menus | a tablet with an easy-to-read screen. |
| Counter orders | a larger tablet or touchscreen. |
| Kitchen tickets | a screen you can read from your working position. |
| Menus, stock and reports | a laptop, desktop or larger tablet. |
Printers
Receipt and kitchen printers are optional. Printer connections depend on the model and connection type. We can help you choose a setup for your restaurant.
Payments and terminals
Confirm your provider, country and payment workflow. Recording a payment taken elsewhere does not connect or control that terminal.
Connections to other systems
The developer documentation can help your developer build a connection. Each new connection still needs technical checks and development.
Internet access and regional requirements
Menu browsing and ordering need a connection to your restaurant software. Online payments and connected services need internet access. Your payment provider and local rules determine currency, tax and receipt requirements.
Backups and recovery
Choose who backs up and restores your installation. Record what is backed up, where it is stored, how often backups run, how long they are kept and who can access them. Test recovery before service and follow the procedure before changes.
Restoring the previous software version and recovering data may require separate steps. Managed backups are not included by default.
