The Flaw of Fragmented Restaurant Software

Many restaurants attempt to piece together disconnected software tools: one plugin for QR menus, a separate local POS for billing, and a third standalone kitchen printer. This leads to broken data, out-of-sync dish availability, and high maintenance costs.
