Run a restaurant on EloERP
Set up a branch as a restaurant, build your menu, run the floor and the kitchen, take delivery orders, keep an eye on food cost and close the day. Each step opens an article with the screens and buttons.
-
Set up a branch in restaurant mode
Turn a branch or outlet into a restaurant till with dine-in, takeaway and delivery, then set up tables, kitchens, menu and staff roles in the right order.
-
Add your menu items
Set up your dishes and drinks as products for the restaurant till, choose which kitchen department cooks each one, and add options, combos and recipes.
-
Add options and add-ons to a menu item
Give a dish choices the cashier picks when ringing it up, such as size, spice level or paid extras like extra cheese, and have them print on the KOT.
-
Make a combo or meal deal
Sell several items together at one deal price, such as a burger, fries and a drink, as a single tile on the till.
-
Set up your floor and tables
Add the dining areas (sections) and the tables in each, with table numbers and seats, so waiters and the till can seat guests at them.
-
Send each dish to the right kitchen
Set up the kitchens and counters that cook your menu (Main Kitchen, Bar, Pizza), choose which cooks see each one on the KDS, and set how KOTs are numbered and printed.
-
Take a dine-in order at the table
Seat guests at a table on the restaurant till, send their order to the kitchen, add more dishes later and settle the bill when they leave.
-
Send and reprint a KOT
Send an order's dishes to the kitchen as KOTs from the restaurant till, read the KOT number, and print a kitchen slip again when one is lost.
-
Split a bill or move a table
Pay one restaurant bill with two or more tenders, give each guest or seat their own cheque, and move a running order to another table.
-
Take orders on the waiter app
The tablet or phone screen for waiters: clock in, seat a table, take the order, fire courses, mark dishes served, record a tip and ask the cashier for the bill.
-
Run a delivery from phone call to cash
The whole home-delivery day in order, from booking a phone order to the kitchen, the rider and the cash on delivery being posted.
-
Set up recipes and food cost
Give each dish a recipe of raw ingredients, so selling it uses up the ingredients from stock, books the real food cost and shows the plate cost and food cost %.
-
Close the restaurant day
The end-of-day checklist for a restaurant: settle every open table, clear the kitchen and deliveries, take the riders' cash, clock waiters out, pay out tips and close the cashiers' shifts.
-
Read your restaurant reports
Restaurant reports for a date range: sales by table and section, menu engineering, waiter performance, channels and dayparts, and recipe food cost.

Let the AI help you run the business
A tour of the AI in EloERP - asking about your books, voice entries, reading supplier bills, suggested orders, the WhatsApp briefing and connecting your own Claude or ChatGPT - and the rule that nothing posts until a person approves it.
