Why DinePilot
Built for how service actually runs
Restaurant software shaped around dine-in service — not a point-of-sale bolted onto a tablet.
Cut the wait, not the corners
Guests order the moment they are ready instead of waiting to catch a server's eye. Tickets reach the kitchen in under a second.
Nothing gets lost
No paper tickets to misplace and no orders shouted across a noisy pass. Every order has a status, and every status is visible to the people who need it.
Stop flying blind
Know today's revenue, what is selling, and when you are busiest — without exporting anything or waiting for month end.

Trust
Your data, handled properly
Six promises, in plain language.
Walled off
Your data is scoped to your restaurant and checked on every request. Nobody else can see it.
Role-locked
A waiter cannot open your analytics. The kitchen cannot touch your prices.
History stays true
Orders snapshot their price. Editing the menu never rewrites yesterday's bills.
We never touch your money
We record how a guest paid. We are not a payment provider and take no cut.
Fails safely
Orders land completely or not at all. The app keeps working if the connection drops.
Yours to take
We never sell your data or advertise to your guests. Leave and we delete it.

The basics
What restaurant management software actually has to do
Carry one dine-in order from the table to the kitchen, back to the floor, and onto the bill — without dropping it between hands.
The old chain
Every handover is a place something can be lost
In most restaurants that journey is still stitched together by hand — a captain’s pad, a KOT torn off at the pass, a whiteboard for the floor plan, a billing machine at the counter, and a notebook where the day’s takings get added up after close.
A ticket slides behind the counter and a table waits twenty minutes for food nobody is cooking. A table that settled ten minutes ago still looks occupied, so a walk-in is turned away. A price edited on the menu quietly changes what last week’s bills were worth. None of these are dramatic failures. They are small, constant leaks that surface as slower table turnover, thinner margins and a rush hour that feels worse than it needs to.
How DinePilot closes the handovers
One order. Still the same record at the till.
QR table ordering lets a guest scan the code on their table and order from their own phone, with nothing to install and no login. That order reaches the kitchen display board in under a second as a digital KOT, sequenced oldest ticket first, with the table number and every guest note attached. The live floor map marks that table occupied on its own, and releases it back to available when the bill is settled.
Because the order is already in the system, billing is a continuation of it rather than a re-entry: an itemised bill with the CGST and SGST broken out, paid by cash, card or UPI, with a receipt ready to share or print. Every closed order then feeds sales analytics — revenue, average order value, top sellers by both quantity and revenue, and the hours your rush actually lands in — while the shift is still running, not the next morning.
What it does not do
Clear edges beat a long feature list
DinePilot is built for dine-in service. If one of these is a hard requirement today, we would rather say so now than have you find out during a service.
- Takeaway or delivery orders
- Payment processing — we take no cut
- Bolt-on to an existing POS
- Recipe costing and purchase orders

FAQ
Questions, answered
Ask us anything else — we reply to every message.
What is restaurant management software?
It is the system that carries a dine-in order from the guest's table to the kitchen, back to the floor and through to the bill, keeping one record the whole way. In DinePilot that means QR ordering at the table, a live kitchen board that replaces the paper KOT, a floor map that tracks table status, GST billing and sales analytics — one app rather than a pad, a printer, a whiteboard and a separate billing machine.
Do my guests need to install an app?
No. Guests scan the QR code on their table and the menu opens in their phone's browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create. Only your staff use the DinePilot app.
What does it cost right now?
Starter is free (up to 10 tables). Essential is ₹799/mo, Pro is ₹1,499/mo, and Unlimited is ₹3,999/mo. Paid annual plans include two months free. See the pricing page for limits and what each tier includes.
Can waiters still take orders the usual way?
Yes. QR ordering is optional per guest. Waiters can create an order for any table from the app, and both kinds of order flow to the kitchen identically. You can filter orders by whether they came from a QR scan or a waiter.
What happens if the internet drops mid-service?
The staff app keeps working and falls back to refreshing on demand when the live connection is unavailable, then catches up once it reconnects. Order placement is transactional, so an order is either fully recorded or not recorded at all — it never half-lands.
Can I take online payments through DinePilot?
Not yet. Today your cashier records how the guest paid — cash, card or UPI — along with an optional reference, and DinePilot handles the bill, the tax breakdown and the receipt. Letting guests pay from their own phone is on our roadmap.
