Overview

What Restaurant Operations covers

Restaurant Operations is the core dining module in Stay Tantra. It powers your floor plan, digital menu, order routing, kitchen display logic, and guest QR ordering — all scoped per property with role-based access for floor, kitchen, and managers.

Floor and kitchen teams work through the Restaurant Floor Portal — table management, order entry, kitchen display, and live service alerts. Guests scan table QR codes to browse your menu and place orders that flow directly into the same order queue. Managers configure sections, menus, and staff permissions from one platform.

Key benefits

1

Faster service during peak hours

Table ordering is native to the module — orders land on the floor and kitchen display without duplicate entry.

3

Menu control in one place

Update categories, images, and availability once — both staff and guest menus stay in sync.

4

Scale across dining venues

Run multiple restaurant properties under one client with role-scoped access per site.

FAQ

Common questions

Is restaurant operations the same as the Restaurant Floor Portal?

No. Restaurant Operations is the platform module — floor data, menus, orders, and kitchen logic. The Restaurant Floor Portal is where your team signs in and uses those capabilities during service.

Do guest QR orders need a separate system?

No. Guest QR ordering is part of restaurant operations. Scanned orders flow into the same floor and kitchen queue as staff-entered orders.

Can we run restaurant operations without hotel modules?

Yes. Restaurant operations is available on restaurant-only subscription plans without hotel operations modules.

Does the kitchen display work on tablets or screens?

Yes. Kitchen teams access the display queue from devices signed into the Restaurant Floor Portal with kitchen permissions.
