Service keeps moving when the internet does not.

Salo is the restaurant operating system for independent restaurants, cafes and food halls. Floor, kitchen, stock, cashier and owner share one live picture, and every device keeps taking orders when the internet drops.

7:42 PMOrder and kitchen

Capture the order once

A waiter takes the order, or the table orders by QR. The order is saved on the device first, then sent. It is captured once.

  1. Order. Table 6 turns Ordering on every screen.
  2. Kitchen. Each item goes to its station on the kitchen display system or printer, with a running timer.
  3. QR ordering. Guests can scan the table's QR code to order and call a waiter, with no app and no account.

When the internet drops, nothing stops

When the internet drops, each Salo device keeps taking orders, printing tickets and accepting cash on its own, saves every action locally, and syncs it once the connection returns.

Offline. Each device keeps working.Every action is saved on the device that took it.

The honest limit. During an outage, devices do not share orders with each other yet. The reliable path to the kitchen is a printed ticket from the device that took the order. Branch Hub, our planned fix, is not available yet.

7:51 PMReconnect

Back online in under 30 seconds

When the connection returns, each device sends its backlog in order and pulls whatever changed on other devices.

  1. Saved on the device first. The screen updates right away, online or not.
  2. Sent with a unique ID. If a weak connection sends it twice, the server records it once. Retries cannot create duplicate orders or payments.
  3. Caught up on reconnect. The backlog goes out in order.
  4. Conflicts are shown, not hidden. Staff resolve them. Nothing is quietly overwritten.

7:58 PMSettle

Close the bill in cash, card or QR Ph

The cashier closes the bill in cash, card or QR Ph. Cashless is marked paid only after the payment provider confirms it.

Cash always works, even offline. QR Ph, which guests pay with GCash, Maya or their bank app, waits for the internet and is never marked paid offline.

Salo prints order summaries, not official receipts. Keep your current BIR-registered invoicing for that.

8:20 PMSalo Inventory

Know what should be on the shelf

Salo Inventory deducts ingredients by recipe when an order is fired, so you know what should be left on the shelf before you count it. It is the inventory system for restaurants that already runs inside service.

  • Recipes with portions per menu item, for recipe costing
  • Low-stock alerts before service, not during it
  • Every correction is recorded with a reason. History is never edited.
