In their own words
NodeDR OrderRestro
NodeDR OrderRestro is a free, open-source restaurant management system for billing, tables, kitchen display, reservations, and customer loyalty. It runs on a computer at the restaurant and keeps order-taking, billing, kitchen display, and printing available over the local network without internet. The POS handles dine-in, takeaway, and delivery, with split or merged bills, discounts, gift cards, tips, mixed payments, refunds, and regional tax setups. A live kitchen display includes station routing, priority tickets, and timers; floor tools include a visual plan, reservations, and a waitlist. Guests can scan a table QR code to view the live menu and order in English, Spanish, or French without installing an app. Inventory features cover ingredient tracking, recipe costing, purchase orders, batches, expiry, waste, and automatic stock deduction when orders are billed. The server runs on Linux, macOS, or Windows, while other devices on the same network connect through a browser. The plan is free under AGPL-3.0, with no subscription or per-seat fees.
