Tell us about your outlets and order volumes. A senior engineer — not a salesperson — reviews your brief and sends a scoped, fixed-price proposal within one business day.
Restaurant software should keep the front of house, kitchen and back office working from consistent order information. Scope the busiest service period and the failure cases before deciding which modules to build.
Test modifiers, unavailable items, cancellations, split bills and kitchen routing. Agree how duplicate orders and interrupted connections are handled.
Define recipes, stock deductions, transfers and branch permissions. Check that refunds and voids produce traceable inventory and accounting adjustments.
Confirm POS, printer, payment and delivery-provider integration access. Run a pilot on the actual hardware and agree staff training and support.
Share your branch count, current POS, ordering channels, kitchen setup and most frequent operational issue. Identify which system must remain the source of truth.
Scope a restaurant software pilotControl Shift is a Dubai software team that builds restaurant and F&B systems for the UAE market. From a branded ordering app that wins back commission-free delivery orders to a full POS, kitchen display and recipe-level inventory platform, we replace a counter full of aggregator tablets and disconnected tools with one system your floor, kitchen and head office actually run on.
A restaurant POS has to survive a full Friday service. We build tills that handle dine-in, takeaway and delivery on one screen, route tickets to the right kitchen station with prep timers, and print a compliant UAE tax invoice with service charge and municipality fee handled correctly every time.
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders on one till, with modifiers, courses, splits and table transfers.
Live table map, covers, waiter assignment and turn times for busy Dubai service periods.
Orders routed to the right station with prep timers, course firing and bump-bar or touch confirmation.
Split bills, service charge, municipality fee and 5% VAT-compliant printing in Arabic and English.
Roles, voids and discount approvals, shift cash-ups and per-server sales performance.
Card terminals, Apple Pay, QR pay-at-table and instalment options integrated into the bill.
Every aggregator order costs you roughly a third of the ticket and hides the customer. We build branded ordering apps and websites that convert your regulars into direct orders, with your own rider tracking — while still pulling Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem and Noon Food orders into the same POS and the same report.
Your own iOS and Android app for delivery, pickup and re-orders — commission-free, with push offers.
Fast, SEO-ready ordering site with live menu, upsells and one-page checkout that converts.
Scan-to-order and pay from the table, cutting waiter trips and lifting average check.
Assign riders, track drops live and give customers an ETA without paying aggregator commission.
Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem and Noon Food orders and menus synced into one POS and one report.
Online booking, deposits, waitlist SMS and no-show tracking connected to your floor plan.
Food cost creeps quietly. We build recipe-level inventory that deducts ingredients per dish, purchasing that keeps supplier prices honest, and digital HACCP logs your municipality inspector can review on the spot — plus production and transfer flows for central and cloud kitchens running several brands.
Ingredients deducted per dish and modifier so theoretical and actual food cost finally line up.
Par levels, purchase orders, supplier price comparison and GRN matching to control cost inflation.
Production planning, inter-branch transfers and multi-brand order routing for cloud-kitchen operators.
Temperature checks, cleaning schedules and expiry tracking recorded digitally for municipality audits.
Log wastage by reason and station, with yield analysis that shows where margin is disappearing.
Item profitability and popularity matrices that tell you what to promote, reprice or cut.
Once orders come to you directly, the customer data is yours. We build loyalty, WhatsApp campaigns and a unified guest profile across dine-in and delivery, with head-office menu control, franchise royalties and group-level analytics for operators running several outlets or brands.
Points, tiers and visit-based rewards that bring diners back directly instead of via an aggregator.
Order history, preferences and allergens unified across dine-in, delivery and pickup.
Segmented offers, order updates and win-back messages in Arabic or English.
Revenue by outlet, channel, hour and item, with aggregator commission tracked as a real cost line.
Central menu and pricing control, franchise royalties and consolidated group reporting.
Post-meal feedback routing that catches complaints before they reach Google or Zomato.
UAE F&B has its own rules — VAT, service charge, municipality fee, Arabic menus and delivery habits shaped by aggregators. We build for all of it, including the payment methods Dubai diners expect and clean cash-on-delivery reconciliation at the end of every shift.
5% VAT tax invoices, service charge and municipality fee handled correctly on every bill.
Bilingual menus, tills, receipts and customer app with proper right-to-left Arabic support.
Cards, Apple Pay, Tabby, Tamara, PayTabs and Telr, plus clean cash-on-delivery reconciliation.
Transparent, fixed pricing — pick the tier that fits, and we lock the scope and cost in your 24-hour quote.

A structured build that keeps your kitchen serving while we roll out the new system.
We sit through a service — front of house, kitchen and delivery handover — to see where minutes and margin are lost.
We design the order flow, menu model and integrations, then lock a fixed scope, timeline and price.
POS, KDS, apps, aggregators and payments built and connected — VAT ready from the first bill.
Staff training between services, pilot outlet, group rollout and an ongoing SLA with full code handover.
We collaborate with ambitious founders to turn complex challenges into high-performance digital systems.

Your quote depends on the modules, user roles, integrations, data migration and rollout requirements. Share your workflow and priorities so we can recommend a focused first phase and provide an itemised proposal.
Yes. We connect delivery aggregators so their orders drop straight into your POS and kitchen display instead of a separate tablet per platform — with menu, price and stock-out sync pushed back out, and all channels reported in one sales dashboard.
Aggregators take 25–30% of every order and keep the customer relationship. A branded ordering app or website converts your regulars into direct, commission-free orders, gives you their contact data for campaigns, and pays for itself quickly at typical Dubai delivery volumes.
We do. Orders route to the right station with prep timers and course firing on a KDS, while recipe and modifier-level inventory deducts ingredients per dish so you can see theoretical versus actual food cost and catch wastage early.
It is. Every bill is a 5% UAE VAT-compliant tax invoice, menus and receipts run bilingually in Arabic and English, and we integrate the payment methods UAE diners use — cards, Apple Pay, Tabby, Tamara, PayTabs and Telr — plus cash-on-delivery reconciliation.
An ordering app or website launches in roughly 6–8 weeks; a POS and kitchen system takes 3–4 months depending on integrations. You receive 100% source-code ownership and the Git repository on completion — no lock-in, ever.

A practical AI scope, not a black box
Control Shift scopes AI software for restaurants and cloud-kitchen operators. Phone orders, delivery demand and kitchen availability can disagree during busy periods. Teams need clear item availability and an accurate order before preparation starts. The useful output is a reviewable result that fits the work already happening in your business.
Discuss this AI workflowScope AI POS assistants, phone and WhatsApp ordering, reservation intake and food-cost review. Demand forecasts and menu-engineering suggestions should remain explainable to the operator.
Connect authorised menus, modifier rules, kitchen status and booking capacity. Confirm order interfaces before promising automatic acceptance.
Illustrative project scope; not a claim of an existing customer deployment.
A language model prepares drafts from permitted context. Where document knowledge is needed, retrieval brings in approved sources with references. Restricted API tools handle only explicitly allowed actions. Validation, permissions and approval rules operate outside the model. If data is missing or a tool fails, preserve the draft and route it to a person.
Never infer allergen safety or silently substitute ingredients. Uncertain dietary questions go to trained staff before a customer relies on an answer.
Agree data minimisation, access, retention and audit logging during discovery. Hosting and provider terms are confirmed for the project before sensitive data is processed.
Map one workflow with the people who operate it. Review sample inputs, prototype the draft and approval steps, connect the required interfaces, and agree acceptance examples. Launch to a limited user group with a manual fallback. Monitor corrections, unresolved requests and operating costs before expanding.
The proposal depends on interface access, data cleanup, language coverage and approval complexity. Share your current systems and an anonymised example of the task to define an affordable first phase.
It must use the current approved menu and availability feed. If that feed is stale, the request should wait for staff confirmation.
Connect authorised menus, modifier rules, kitchen status and booking capacity. Confirm order interfaces before promising automatic acceptance.
Staff confirm exceptions, substitutions and unavailable items. Never infer allergen safety or silently substitute ingredients. Uncertain dietary questions go to trained staff before a customer relies on an answer.
Both languages can be included in the project scope. Evaluate representative messages and documents with bilingual reviewers, agree terminology and provide clarification or handover when meaning is uncertain.
Data quality, available interfaces, permission rules, document or message variety and approval complexity determine the work. Start with one workflow, agree acceptance examples and expand after a reviewed pilot. A tailored proposal covers implementation and ongoing operating requirements.
Agree permitted data sources, role-based access, retention and provider terms before development. Use restricted service accounts and audit records. Hosting and residency options require project-specific confirmation; no certification or blanket compliance promise is implied.
