Connected restaurant operations

Restaurant App Integrations: POS, KDS, Payments and Delivery

Connect customer ordering with the systems your restaurant already uses. We plan each integration around available APIs, your outlet workflows, and how staff should respond when a connection is delayed or unavailable.

Restaurant POS Integration

Route app and website orders to the correct outlet's point-of-sale system. Confirm how item IDs, modifiers, taxes, discounts, and order acknowledgements map between systems before development.

Menu and Availability Sync

Agree which system controls prices, menus, and stock availability, then synchronize supported changes across ordering channels. Define update frequency and how sold-out items are handled for each location.

Kitchen Display System Integration

Send kitchen tickets to a supported KDS with item options, preparation notes, and order priority. Map accepted, preparing, and ready statuses so kitchen staff and customers receive consistent updates.

Payments and Refund Workflows

Match gateway payment confirmations to restaurant orders. Define what happens when a payment succeeds but an order fails, including staff alerts, reconciliation, and refund handling through the supported provider.

Delivery and Dispatch Integration

Connect supported delivery providers or your own driver workflow with delivery zones, pickup readiness, assignments, and customer status updates. Confirm tracking access and cancellation rules for each delivery partner.

Retries, Alerts and Recovery

Plan duplicate-order protection, controlled retries, and an audit trail for failed updates. Agree on operator alerts and a fallback process when the POS, kitchen, payment, or delivery connection is unavailable.

Scope your integrations before the build

Share your POS or KDS provider, outlet count, ordering channels, and delivery model. We confirm API access, supported features, vendor licences, and test requirements before estimating the work. Explore the restaurant POS, KOT, and inventory planning guide for a requirements checklist.

White-label, Custom or Subscription: Which Fits Your Restaurant?

Choose the white-label package when its demonstrated workflows fit, custom development when your requirements need a tailored build, or subscription ordering software when a provider’s existing plan meets your needs. Compare the scope and ongoing costs, not just the starting price.

Adapt an existing product

₹75,000 white-label package

Best fit
An established ordering product fits your menu and operating model.
Deliverables
Ordering website, Android and iOS customer apps, and an Android driver app.
Customisation
Branding and agreed workflows. Custom modules and non-standard integrations require separate scoping.
Source code & migration
Both included. Licence terms, migration inputs and handover details are documented in the agreement.
Included support
Six months of technical support, plus three months of SEO, GEO and AEO support.
Ongoing budget
Allow for hosting, third-party usage and additional development unless the proposal includes them.
Build around your workflows

Custom restaurant development

Best fit
Your roles, branch operations or integration requirements need a tailored scope.

Source code & migration
Source code included in all three custom packages. Migration requirements are scoped in the proposal.
Included support
One year of technical support in all three custom packages. Coverage is recorded in the agreement.
Ongoing budget
Allow for hosting, vendor licences, usage fees, new development and support beyond the included year.
Use a provider-managed service

Check configuration limits, available integrations and whether your custom workflows are supported.
Source code & migration
Confirm source-code availability, data export, migration assistance and exit terms with the provider.
Included support
Verify support hours, response arrangements and what the selected plan covers.
Ongoing budget
Compare subscription, setup, payment, add-on and per-location charges; terms vary by provider.

The first two options describe Digittrix’s confirmed packages; the subscription column is a provider-selection checklist, not a Digittrix subscription offer. For any option, confirm customer-data export, licence terms and support coverage before signing.

Digittrix account setup and support: Hosting and app-store accounts are created in the client's name. Digittrix handles technical support within the agreed scope. New features are charged separately. Specific support coverage and response arrangements are recorded in the agreement.

Last reviewed: . The custom figures are Digittrix 2026 planning ranges for an agreed scope using established components; they are not fixed quotations or market-wide averages. Approximate INR bands are for budget planning, and the proposal currency controls. Unless a proposal states otherwise, estimates exclude taxes, third-party subscriptions and licences, cloud and messaging usage, payment fees, app-store accounts, hardware, content entry, advertising spend, and post-launch operations. Migration is included in the ₹75,000 package; custom migration requirements are scoped in the proposal. Source code and the stated technical-support period are included in each package. Support coverage and response arrangements are recorded in the agreement. A mature marketplace or unsupported legacy integration receives a custom estimate.
