The problems every restaurant owner knows
These are the six problems we hear from restaurant and café owners every week — and how Mellotek solves each one.
Barcode scan or search by name, tap the item, done. Save items to a favourite list — one tap to add the top 10 dishes. A normal order rings up in seconds, not minutes.
Split payment is a built-in mode. Enter the cash amount, the M-Pesa amount auto-fills the remainder. Both are recorded on the same sale for exact reconciliation.
The "Custom Service" button lets the cashier add any item with its own name and price. Perfect for off-menu requests, specials, or a one-off charge — recorded on the sale without polluting your catalogue.
Every sale is linked to the staff member who rang it up. The reports show revenue, transaction count, and refunds per staff. End-of-shift handover takes 30 seconds.
Send a branded PDF receipt straight to WhatsApp with one tap. No printer needed, no paper waste. Works on Full and Pro plans.
Manage every branch from one dashboard. Separate staff, separate cash registers, combined reports. Transfer stock between branches with a full audit trail.
