## Who FOODSERVA is for

- Restaurants (full service and quick service)
- Cafes and coffee shops
- Bars, pubs and cocktail venues
- Dessert shops and bakeries
- Food courts and hawker stalls (single tenant, not the food-court master)

## Who FOODSERVA is NOT for

- Delivery-only or ghost-kitchen operators (no GrabFood / Foodpanda / ShopeeFood integration)
- Pure retail counters with no kitchen (use POSERVA instead)
- Snooker / billiard / pool venues (use Snooker King instead)
- Operators outside Malaysia who require local-jurisdiction e-invoice (LHDN MyInvois is Malaysia-specific)

## Feature surface (by category)

### 1. Menu management

- Menu categories and items with multi-language support (categories, items, item codes, descriptions, base price, multiple images base64 or URL).
- Per-item and per-category tax / service-charge overrides.
- Item modifier groups: example "Size: Small/Medium/Large" with per-option price deltas. Configurable per item or inherited from category.
- Preference groups: binary toggles like "extra sauce" or "no onions". Free or priced.
- Default add-ons at category level: items auto-added to every order (e.g. bread & butter on every main).
- Combo bundles: a "Set Lunch A" combines several items at a fixed price. Combos also drive BOM-style food cost.

### 2. Table-side QR ordering

- One QR code per table. Opens the menu in the guest's phone browser. No app install required.
- Guest builds a draft order with modifiers and preferences, applies a coupon if they have one, then submits to the kitchen.
- Sessions track table position (x/y layout), customer name, mobile, coupon code, and status.
- Order status workflow: draft → submitted → printed (at kitchen) → completed. Session status: active → completed.
- Multi-group support: two parties at one table can keep their checks separate via order_number sequencing under one session.
- Abandonment cleanup: sessions idle longer than 6 hours with no submitted order are auto-expired. Triggered by cron / webcron with bearer-token auth.

### 3. Kitchen operations

- Print queue routes submitted orders to station-specific thermal printers (bar, kitchen, dessert station, etc.). Each menu category has a printer_id.
- Per-item printer routing: an individual item can override its category station, so a single dish can print wherever it is prepared.
- Tickets are modifier-aware: the kitchen sees the customisations the guest picked.
- Reprint capability: replay a missed ticket without re-ringing the order.
- A screen-based KDS is optional - the same queue can drive a tablet display. Most restaurants use thermal printer tickets.
- Wait-time analytics: timestamps on submit / print / completion enable bottleneck analysis by item and by station.

### 4. Payments and receipts

- Supported tenders: cash, credit card, debit card, FPX online banking, DuitNow QR, GrabPay, TNG eWallet, Boost, Apple Pay, Google Pay, member wallet credit, physical card terminal.
- Fiuu Hosted Payment Page (HPP): redirect-based browser checkout, HMAC-MD5 signature verification on callbacks, status codes 00 (success) / 11 (failed) / 22 (pending async).
- cloudECR: physical EMV card terminal for Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, plus DuitNow instant transfer and QR payment mode.
- DuitNow QR: static or dynamic QR. Confirmation arrives via gateway callback. The invoice flips to paid in real time. The QR can be shown inline at the table on the guest phone.
- Customer-presented e-wallet QR: the till scans the guest e-wallet QR (OPA / CPM mode) through the same gateway.
- Tokenised payment links: send a payment link by WhatsApp or email when the payer is not at the table.
- Split tender: one invoice can take any combination of the above. Each tender is recorded as a separate payment line.
- Running tabs: a tab stays open under the till while the party keeps ordering. Several bills can be settled together in one Pay All action, with split payment at checkout.
- Service charge and SST: configurable at five levels (organization → center → table type → category → item). Tracked separately on every invoice line.
- LHDN-compliant Official Receipt: sequential per outlet, with BRN and SST line.
- 80mm thermal receipt printing with logo, modifiers, table number, server name, and timestamp.
- A4 invoice rendering for email or accounting use.
- Email delivery of invoices and receipts. Branded HTML templates. Delivery status logged.

### 5. Members and loyalty

- Member directory: id, email, phone, name, tier, wallet balance, API token. Soft-delete preserves audit trail.
- Search by name / email / phone, globally across outlets in the organization.
- Membership tiers (e.g. Bronze, Silver, Gold) with discount rates that apply automatically at checkout when a member is attached.
- Member wallet credit: stored balance with an immutable transaction ledger (top-up, debit, refund, manual adjustment).
- Stamp card / point loyalty: configurable per outlet. Stamps awarded per transaction (fixed or percentage of spend). Redeem for free items or discounts.
- Campaign coupons: time-windowed, with per-customer and global claim limits. Validate and burn at checkout in one step.
- Time-based promotions: campaigns auto-activate and deactivate by schedule (e.g. happy hour 5-9 pm).

### 6. Inventory and food cost

- Per-item stock tracking with quantity on hand per outlet. Auto-decrement on sale.
- Inventory movements: sale, adjustment, waste, donation. Reason codes and notes on every movement.
- Purchase invoices from suppliers feed back into a weighted-average cost per item.
- Purchase-invoice drafts: a draft can be resumed or discarded and never corrupts stock until it is posted.
- Buy by pack: enter cases, boxes or kegs and the line amount; the unit price is computed.
- Purchase-invoice cost correction: re-prices its stock entries and recomputes the item average cost.
- Stock valuation export (CSV) for the accountant.
- Supplier directory: contacts, payment terms, items supplied. Tied directly into purchase invoices.
- Combo-level food cost via combo_items quantities (BOM-style).
- Variance reports: expected (purchases minus sales) vs. actual physical count, flagging shrinkage and waste.

### 7. Reports and dashboards

- Live dashboard: today's revenue, transaction count, average spend, top sellers, top servers. Polling refresh.
- Itemized revenue: filter by date, server, payment method, member tier, category. Drill down to line items.

- Cash drawer management: opening float, money-in and money-out, variance tracking at close.
- Live operations monitor: real-time table map, occupied/free status, in-flight tickets, current revenue.
- System audit log: immutable record of voids, refunds, discounts, member edits, price changes, settings changes. Captures user, IP and timestamp.
- Center chat / staff messaging: internal coordination for the operations floor.
- Member announcements: push to all members via mobile app, with view tracking.

### 9. Compliance (Malaysia)

### 12. Bar tabs, happy hour and receivables

- Running tabs list stays open under the till; open tabs keep building until settled.
- Pay All settles several bills together; split payment runs at the till inside payment confirmation.
- Happy hour rules engine: time-windowed drink pricing that switches on and off by schedule, with per-outlet entitlement gating.

## Interactive demos and website sections (foodserva.com)

The landing page is a working product preview, not a brochure. Interactive, no-signup tools built in HTML/CSS/JS let a visitor operate the real workflows:

- Live QR order builder (#demo): six real Malaysian menu items with photos (Nasi Lemak Ayam RM 14.90, Roti Canai RM 2.50, Char Kway Teow RM 12.90, Iced Milo RM 6.50, Teh Tarik RM 3.80, Cendol RM 5.50); tap to add, and subtotal, 10% service charge and 6% SST update live; submit to see the order move draft, submitted, printed at the kitchen, completed.
- Platform tour (#platform): one restaurant seen from three views - Front of House (floor plan with table status and split checks), Kitchen (modifier-aware station tickets) and Back Office (revenue, covers, food-cost %, hourly sales bars and an AI Copilot preview answer). A module toolbar (Floor, Orders, Kitchen, Members, Inventory, Reports, Accounting, Copilot) switches views; the service clock is live.
- Hands-on workflows (#handson): a floor plan whose tables cycle free, seated, ordering, served, bill; a dish builder where size, spice and add-on modifiers reprice the dish; a kitchen bump bar whose tickets age green, amber, red and clear when bumped (keyboard accessible); a ten-stamp loyalty card that unlocks a reward.
- Food-cost calculator (#foodcost): menu price and ingredient cost sliders compute food-cost %, gross margin per plate and plates needed to earn RM 100 of margin, against a healthy 28-35% band.
- Payback estimator (#roi): outlets, daily covers and average spend give an illustrative monthly value (1.5% food cost, 2% faster turns, 1% loyalty). An estimate, never a guarantee.
- Feature showcase (#showcase): twelve photographed moments filterable by Front of House, Kitchen and Stock, Payments and Money, Members and Staff.
- Scan to paid (#ordering): four steps - scan the table QR, build a draft, submit to station, pay any way (DuitNow QR, card, e-wallet, member wallet) with automatic MyInvois submission.
- AI (#ai): an AI Copilot preview answers plain-language questions such as "which dish is losing money?" from sales, menu and stock data. Demand forecasting, prep lists, profitability alerts, upsell prompts and anomaly alerts are labelled "On the Roadmap" - not shipped features.
