The Advantage of a Modern Tech Stack

1. Sub-Second UI Response

Legacy enterprise systems rely on back-and-forth network API calls for almost every action (opening table, selecting item, saving modifiers). Indostra caches the entire venue state locally in the browser, making clicks instantaneous and reliable.

2. Flat, Opaque-Free Pricing

Restroworks typically targets larger hotels and enterprise chains with customized, non-transparent contracts. Indostra offers straightforward flat subscription pricing that lets you predict your technology spend monthly without surprises.

3. Integrated Guest Booking

You don't need third-party platform extensions to receive reservations. Indostra includes a native slots manager that allows guests to reserve tables online, instantly syncing bookings to the floor layout in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How secure is our data with Indostra's multi-outlet system?

Indostra isolates multi-outlet deployments at the database schema level using separate PostgreSQL tenants. This provides a hard boundary of security, meaning managers can never access or query data outside their assigned outlets.

Does it support standard thermal printers?

Yes. Indostra connects directly over local networks (Ethernet, Wi-Fi) or USB to all ESC/POS protocol thermal printers. If one printer goes offline, our print bridge redirects tickets to another station automatically.

Can we manage multiple brands from one kitchen?

Yes, our hierarchical routing allows you to configure item-level station overrides. You can map multiple online brands to print KOTs to specific kitchen preparation stations seamlessly.
