PEAK HOURS
When the line is out the door.
Sub-100ms order entry, no page reloads. Orders land in the kitchen the moment they're rung up.
FOR RESTAURANTS
Take orders.
Turn tables.
Pay your team.
POS, table plan, kitchen orders, payroll, and online checkout: for one restaurant or a hundred.
Pressure points
Where the day gets hard.
These are the moments operators mention first. Kotao is built around them, not around a feature list.
NO-SHOWS
30% of weekends used to vanish.
Optional deposits via Kotao Payments drop no-shows by a third in operator data we've seen.
COMPLIANCE
TSE, GoBD, KassenSichV: handled.
German fiscalization compliance is built-in. Audit-ready exports on demand.
Operating day
Restaurants need more than checkout.
Kotao covers the work before, during, and after the operating day. Teams do not have to decide which disconnected tool has the truth right now.
Before opening
Reservations, orders, stock, staffing, and website content are ready before the team walks into the day.
During service
POS, bookings, payments, messages, and team workflows write live into the same workspace.
After close
Revenue, payouts, stock movements, guest profiles, and team hours are already ready for reporting and follow-up.
One record through the day

Implementation
Not all at once. All expandable.
A good rollout follows operational pressure. First the workflow blocking the team today, then the adjacent apps, then automation and reporting.
