The brief

What Expresso needed

Expresso is software that helps restaurants take orders online, in an app and by QR code. Every restaurant runs differently, so the platform had to support many ways of operating while staying simple for staff and guests.

What we built

What we built for Expresso

  • Online ordering

    A storefront for each restaurant, with menu categories, search, and pickup or curbside orders.

  • QR-code table ordering

    Guests scan a code at the table and order, and the order is mapped to their table number.

  • Checkout

    Card and Google Pay payments, tips, promo codes and order notes.

  • Kitchen ticket printing

    Orders print as kitchen tickets on Star Micronics printers.

  • Sales dashboard

    Orders, gross sales, tips, ticket size and top menu items, by store and period.

  • Configurable operations

    Settings that let each restaurant choose how ordering works, shaped by feedback from operators.
