Independent restaurants, one system.

A till from one company. Online ordering from another. Three marketplace tablets on the shelf by the pass, a scheduling app, and a mailing tool nobody has opened since January. Each one bills you separately and none of them speak to each other. So the sales sit in one place, the labour cost in another, and the only thing joining them up is you, on a Sunday, with a spreadsheet. Eclyde does the lot in one place: the till, the ordering page, the pass, the drivers, the rota.

On the ordering page itself, yes. Your customers get your name, your menu and your photography instead of a thumbnail sitting fourteenth in a list. Orders drop straight onto the kitchen display without anyone retyping them. And on the Flat Rate plan you keep the lot: a €30 order puts €30 in the till, less the card fee. What you cannot match is a chain's marketing budget, so the sensible play is to keep the apps for discovery and move your regulars onto your own ordering page.

Three useful things, mostly. Find the twelve dishes carrying the menu and the four that are only still on it out of habit. See that Tuesday does not really start until half seven, so the second chef does not need to be in at five. And spot the regular who came in every fortnight for a year and has not been in since March, then send them something before they forget you. That last one runs on its own once it is set up. It reads each customer's own ordering pattern rather than an average, so a monthly regular is not chased after a fortnight.

Same login, second site added under it. Shared menu where the menus match, separate pricing where they do not, and reporting that shows each room on its own as well as both together. Nothing gets migrated and nothing gets bought again. Most owners do not need any of this on day one, which is exactly why it should not cost extra until they do.
