Hospitality and retail operations
Counters, waiter floor apps, kitchen display, reservations, inventory, and optional Shopify sync run on the same platform — so a merchant in Kuwait with a shop and a restaurant does not maintain two catalogs, two stock ledgers, and two closing routines.
Delivery and online channels
Regional delivery adapters when enabled for your organization.
Marketplace tickets land on the same kitchen display and the same order ledger as dine-in, which keeps reporting honest at close.
