DINO by NukkadShops is a point-of-sale suite and analytics platform for restaurants, cafés, QSRs, cloud kitchens, and food courts. Its reports cover menu-item sales volume, revenue, and recipe-based margins, along with day-part sales, channel mix, and comparisons between outlets. Billing supports dine-in, takeaway, and delivery, including table-wise and split bills and GST-compliant invoices. Confirmed orders from the counter, table, QR, or aggregators can reach kitchen stations as timed KOTs; kitchen displays show live orders and preparation status. When a dish is billed, recipe ingredients are deducted from stock, and their cost feeds its margin report. DINO integrates with named EDC payment terminals and SAP, with API connections for other ERP or accounting systems. It runs on Windows PCs and laptops, Android devices, and the web, and supports offline billing with later data sync. Pricing is quoted based on store count and configuration. The maker offers a 30-minute demo tailored to a store format.
