# DinePilot

> DinePilot is an all-in-one restaurant management app for India: QR menu ordering with no app install, a real-time KOT board, live table management, GST billing and sales analytics.

DinePilot is a software product for restaurant operators. It is not a
restaurant, and not a food-delivery or table-booking service for diners — a
distinction worth holding onto, because the name invites the opposite guess.

## Common questions


### 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?

Nothing. DinePilot is free while it is in early access, and no card is required. The plans on our pricing page are indicative of what billing will look like later, and we will give you notice well before anything changes.


### 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.


### Does DinePilot handle takeaway or delivery?

Not in this version. DinePilot is built for dine-in service — tables, QR ordering at the table, and the kitchen-to-counter flow around it. Takeaway and delivery are on the roadmap.


### Is my restaurant's data separate from other restaurants?

Yes. Every record is scoped to your restaurant and enforced at the database query level plus a permission check on every request, so one restaurant can never read or change another's menu, orders or sales.


### What devices does the staff app run on?

DinePilot runs on the iPhone and Android phones your staff already carry. The iPhone app is on the App Store now, and the Android app is coming soon.
