Catering’s classic catastrophe is drift: the kitchen executes version three of an event the client signed version five of, and nobody finds out until a wedding is short a course.
Every edition is built around one refusal like this, enforced by the way the till is put together rather than by a warning somebody dismisses forty times a shift.
What this register refuses to do
No production except from a locked event order, and no advance past booked without a signed contract and the deposits that are due. After lock there is no way to edit “just the kitchen copy”.
What it tells you
The forward pipeline in real money, weighted by what is signed, plus the lead-time calculator that tells you when to buy.
Everything below comes with it
The same in every edition. LONGTABLE is the trade-specific part on top.
The registerA full till that runs in a browser on any tablet you already own. No per-terminal fee, and no hardware to buy from us.
Stock controlReceiving, waste with a reason, and an append-only ledger — plus a stocktake whose book is frozen the moment you open it, so a count means something.
Your own storefrontA public page customers order from directly, on your own address. Collection or delivery, and the money for the goods never touches us.
An orders boardEverything customers have sent you, on the counter screen and on the phone, so an order is never only in one place.
The phone appThe same shop on a phone — the till-adjacent screens, the orders board and the bill. It asks what kind of business you are and loads only that trade.
A delivery app — any tradeSend a delivery straight from the app, whatever you sell. A bakery with a box ready to go and a dry cleaner with a finished order use the same screen — it is not a restaurant feature.
We never touch your takingsThe register records the sale and moves your stock — you take the card however you already do. We are not in the middle of your money, so we cannot take a percentage of it, and there is nothing to integrate.
Commissioning it
This edition is specified in full and built to your shop. Nothing is billed until there is something in your hands that works.
