The product, in detail

One system.
Your whole restaurant.

Here's what it actually does, area by area, without the gloss.

01 · Channels

Orders come in however the customer wants

Four doors, one system. Nothing gets re-typed from one place into another.

The WhatsApp bot takes the whole order

Category by category, with per-dish customization: take off what comes on it, add what doesn't. Then it collects delivery type, ZIP code, street, building and unit number, neighborhood, cross streets, name and notes. No employee typing.

It won't take orders you can't fill

If the ZIP is outside your delivery zones, it says so before the customer builds a whole order. If you're closed, it says so instead of taking it.

Your web store, actually yours

Your menu, your prices, your photos. Customers save addresses and see past orders. Includes a pizza builder.

02 · Floor

A menu that behaves like your restaurant

Menu, groups, subgroups, items and modifiers — and modifiers inherit down the tree. You set “no onion” once at the top, not forty times at the bottom.

  • An item only on Tuesdays, or only after 6 pm
  • A different price during happy hour
  • Different price per channel: a blanket markup for apps, or an exact price for one dish
  • Hide an item on one channel and keep it on another
  • Open item for whatever isn't on the menu
  • Transfer a check to another server or another table
  • Reopen a closed check, with manager approval

A change reaches the iPad in about ten seconds. Nobody restarts anything.

03 · Kitchen

No paper, no shouting

The ticket lands on the screen of the station it belongs to. Double-tap to bump it, and recall it if you bumped the wrong one.

  • Kitchen, bar and expo each see only their own work
  • Sound on a new order; color when it runs long
  • Coursing that's aware of which station is clear
  • Waste and stock adjustments from the same screen
  • Receive deliveries against the purchase order, right there
  • Low-stock alerts where the person who can act is standing
  • A pickup display for the lobby, for takeout orders

04 · Money

The drawer balances itself, or tells you why it didn't

You open with a counted starting bank. Every movement is logged: sales, pay-ins, pay-outs, change made, no-sales. Cut mid-shift if you want.

The close

You count denomination by denomination and the system does the subtraction. Under your variance limit it clears itself. Over it, it becomes a manager task with the exact number.

How your cash works is your call

One shared drawer or several. Plus waiter-bank mode, where an authorized server carries their own bank instead of touching the shared drawer. All configurable per location.

Card processing — coming soon

For now Provecho records the card payment and you process it on your own terminal. Our own processing is in the works and will be optional when it ships.

Day close has a lock on it

You can't close with an open check, an open shift, an unclosed drawer, or an unsettled tip pool. It tells you exactly what's missing and how many. When it's clean, you get your Z report.

05 · Inventory

From purchase order to plated dish

Suppliers, raw materials, sub-recipes and product recipes. That chain is what makes a sale deduct stock on its own.

  • Raw materials by CSV, so you're not typing 300 rows
  • Sub-recipes with production batches: your sauce, your dough, your marinade
  • “Can still make”: how many are left before something runs out
  • Auto sold-out when a component hits zero
  • Purchase orders with approval and receiving against the order
  • Receiving variance becomes a task, not a silence
  • Suggested PAR from 8 weeks of real usage, recalculated weekly
  • Waste and adjustments with a reason and a name

06 · Staff

Every action has a name on it

A six-digit PIN per employee, not a shared password.

Permissions are specific, not “managers yes, servers no”:

  • Who voids an item and who applies a discount
  • Who issues a refund and who reopens a closed check
  • Who counts the drawer, who takes a payout, who settles the pool
  • Who approves a purchase order or a stock adjustment
  • Who can override a cash variance

When someone without the permission tries, a manager approves on screen — and that approval is recorded too.

07 · Reports

Seven reports and a pulse of today

28.4%

Kitchen times, table turns, average check.

4

Today's voids, comps and discounts, with names.

Sample figures for the mockup.

08 · Hardware

Bring your own hardware

Provecho is a web application. That isn't a technical footnote — it's the reason we don't sell or rent you anything.

  • POS on iPad, Android tablet, laptop, or any modern browser
  • Kitchen on the screen you already have; the pickup display on any TV with a browser
  • Printing through the system dialog — works with ordinary thermal printers
  • Keep your existing payment terminal and your bank
  • Nothing to install: it opens in the browser and that's it
  • Add one more tablet the day you need it, without asking us

Honest note: the iPad is where the point of sale behaves best, because that's where we test it every day. It works on other tablets, but with fewer hours behind it.

09 · Locations

One location or seven, one dashboard

Settings cascade: what you set at the location wins, and where nothing is set the general default applies. Change it once at the top and it lands everywhere.

Per location

Hours, delivery zones, drawers, tips, tax and floor plan.

Mexico and the United States

Currency, date format, tax and language follow the location's country.

Consolidated

Side-by-side location reports from the same dashboard.
