In their own words
Baresto Manager
Baresto Manager is a restaurant system for QR menus, waiter ordering, kitchen display, cashier workflows, and reports. Staff can manage tables and floor plans, place mobile orders, send items to the kitchen, mark them delivered, and close tables with payment. The kitchen display organizes tickets by table, supports dish-status updates and station filters for kitchen, bar, and grill, and provides real-time alerts. Guests can use Greek- or English-language QR menus with allergen and availability information, call a waiter, and scan a table-specific or shared code. Managers can view revenue, order, and top-item reports and export them as CSV. Login supports passwords and four-digit PINs, with roles for admins, managers, waiters, kitchen staff, and cashiers. Cashiers can take cash or card and print receipts. Daily service runs on venue LAN or Wi-Fi without always-on internet; downloads and updates need internet. The software runs locally and is free to run, with no license fee or SaaS subscription.
