Getting started1 min read

Restro is a restaurant operating system. One place to build your menu, take orders from every channel, run the floor and the kitchen, track stock, pay your team, and see what actually made money.

#The four surfaces

Restro is one product with four faces, all reading and writing the same data.

Surface	Who uses it	What it is for
Dashboard	Your staff	Managing the restaurant: menu, orders, stock, people, reports
Website	Your customers	Your branded ordering site with your own domain
Mobile app	Your customers	Native iOS and Android ordering
Point of sale	Your staff	Taking orders at the counter, at the table, and in the kitchen

Throughout this help centre, users means the people who work at your restaurant and sign in to the dashboard or the apps. Customers means the diners who order from you.
