The till that doesn’t fall over at 20:15 on a Friday.
The waiter taps at the table. The kitchen has it the same second, stock drops, the till is ready. The “nobody told me” argument between floor and kitchen is over — internet or no internet.
Floor, kitchen and pocket, all on one system.
Every surface is built for the hand that holds it: the chef’s wall screen, the waiter’s phone, the guest’s QR code, the owner’s laptop. One brain underneath, joining it all up.
Ten modules that already know each other.
One set of numbers, from the first order a waiter takes on Friday to the report you open on Monday. Nothing reconciled by hand, no graveyard of spreadsheets on a shared drive.
The questions every owner asks.
What happens if the internet goes down mid-service?
Nothing stops. SterkChef is offline-first, so you carry on taking orders, firing tickets and printing receipts over the local network. When the line comes back, everything syncs on its own — no lost tickets, and nobody types the evening in again the next morning.
Will it work with the kit I already own?
Usually, yes. Standard receipt printers, cash drawers, card terminals, tablets and KDS screens are all supported. We go through your gear on the discovery call and tell you straight what works, what needs a driver, and what — if anything — is worth replacing.
How long until we are actually live?
The median from signing up to trading is one day. Before anyone is trained we load your menu, your prices, your table plan and your country’s tax profile, so staff start on a system that already knows the restaurant rather than an empty one they have to fill in.
Is it compliant with my country’s fiscal rules?
Yes. Belgium (GKS), France (NF525), Germany (KassenSichV), Spain (TicketBAI), Italy (RT), the Netherlands and Türkiye are all built in. Change the country and the receipts, the tax logic and the exports change with it. Nothing gets bolted on afterwards by an integrator.
Can my staff use it in their own language?
Every surface ships in seven languages. A new starter can work a full shift in their mother tongue on day one — no manual, no colleague translating over their shoulder, and a lot less of your time spent getting them up to speed before they are any use on the floor.
Do I own my data? Can I leave?
It’s your data and it stays exportable: you can pull the lot any day, in a format your accountant and your next system can both read. There is no lock-in and no notice period — cancel at the end of any month. We would rather you stayed because the system works.
Service starts at six.
Are you ready?
A live demo, thirty minutes. No slides: we build a scenario from your own restaurant, answer what you ask and talk pricing straight.
