Summary

NodeDR OrderRestro is a free, open-source restaurant management system for orders, billing, tables, kitchen display, reservations, and customer loyalty. It runs on a computer at the restaurant, allowing order-taking, billing, kitchen display, and printing to continue across the local network without internet. Its POS supports dine-in, takeaway, and delivery, along with split or merged bills, discounts, gift cards, tips, refunds, mixed payments, and regional tax setups. Kitchen tools include station routing, priority tickets, and timers; floor tools cover a visual plan, reservations, and a waitlist. Guests can scan a table QR code to view the menu and order in English, Spanish, or French without installing an app. Inventory functions include ingredient tracking, recipe costing, purchasing, batch and expiry tracking, waste logging, and automatic stock deduction when orders are billed. Customer profiles, loyalty points, gift cards, and role-based staff accounts are included. The server runs on Linux, macOS, or Windows, while other devices connect through a browser on the same network. Its free plan is billed free forever under AGPL-3.0, with no subscription or per-seat fees.
