Dine-in ordering, reinvented

Scan a table.
Skip the wait.
Eat sooner.

Eato turns any restaurant table into an ordering counter. Guests scan a QR code, browse the menu, and order straight to the kitchen — no app download, no flagging down a waiter, no guessing how long it'll take.

How it works

One app, three very different jobs

Eato isn't just a menu — it's the full loop from table to kitchen to dashboard, built separately for everyone involved.

Customer

At the table

  • 1Scan the QR code on your table — no download or sign-up required.
  • 2Browse the live menu, filter by category, and build your order.
  • 3Send it straight to the kitchen and watch its status update in real time.
  • 4Connect to restaurant WiFi automatically if it's offered at your table.
Owner

Running the floor

  • 1Set up your menu, categories, and tables in a guided onboarding flow.
  • 2Generate a unique QR code per table, ready to print.
  • 3Add kitchen staff accounts and track sales from one dashboard.
  • 4Watch orders, revenue, and top-selling items update as they happen.
Kitchen

In the back

  • 1Sign in with a kitchen ID — built for shared, fast-access devices.
  • 2See incoming orders arrive instantly, oldest first.
  • 3Accept, set a prep time, and move orders through to ready.
  • 4Customers and owners see every status change the moment it happens.
Features

Built for how dine-in actually works

Every feature exists because a real table, kitchen, or dashboard needed it.

QR table ordering

Every table gets its own code, linking straight to that restaurant's live menu — no app install needed for guests.

Real-time order status

Orders move from placed to accepted to ready over a live connection, visible to the customer, kitchen, and owner at once.

Location-verified ordering

Orders are confirmed against the restaurant's location, so only guests actually seated there can place one.

Menu & category management

Owners add items with photos, prices, and descriptions, and reorganize categories without touching code.

Sales dashboard

Daily revenue, order counts, and top-selling items, scoped to your restaurant only.

WiFi at the scan

If a restaurant offers WiFi, guests are offered a one-tap connection the moment they scan their table's code.

Reliability & protection

Built to hold up at a busy table

Eato runs on infrastructure designed around the moment that matters most: when an order has to reach the kitchen, correctly, the first time.

  • Hashed credentials, always

    Owner and kitchen passwords are never stored in plain text — only one-way cryptographic hashes.

  • Encrypted in transit

    Every request between the app and our servers travels over HTTPS, end to end.

  • Scoped access by role

    Owners only ever see their own restaurant's data. Kitchen accounts only see their own queue.

  • Built for live reconnects

    If a connection drops mid-order, status syncs back up the moment the device reconnects — nothing silently lost.

Ready to skip the line at your own table?

Eato is built for restaurants that want faster turnaround and guests who'd rather order than wait to be noticed.
