Service

Live order board

Every order from every channel lands on one screen that beeps for new tickets.

  • Filters by status, payment, order type, pre-booking and date
  • Staff can create orders for phone guests and attach a table for dine-in
  • “Needs attention” flags stuck orders and payment errors
  • GST invoice PDF from every order
Kitchen

POS and KOT sync

OwnCart works with the POS your kitchen already runs.

  • Two-way sync with PetPooja and Positeasy
  • Menu sync: dishes, prices and availability from your POS
  • Order creation: online orders created in the POS, KOT printed
  • Order status updates from the POS to the guest on WhatsApp
  • Green bills: POS bills sent to the guest on WhatsApp
  • Auto-accept online-paid orders in the rush; works without a POS too
Website

FAQ

Common questions

Does OwnCart support multiple outlets?

Yes. Each outlet has its own hours, menu availability, POS connection, payments, delivery settings and order ID prefix, all managed from one admin with staff roles.

Can I use OwnCart without a POS?

Yes. Restaurants without a POS can take orders on the OwnCart live order board, print or share GST invoices, and manage menu availability directly in OwnCart.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. The Restaurant plan includes a custom domain for your ordering website, for example order.yourrestaurant.com. You can start on a free OwnCart address.
