Digital menus and table-QR removed our peak-hour bottleneck. Servers take orders paperless and the kitchen sees them instantly.

The details that make the difference

What happens behind every step, with no fine print.

01

The server fires the order and it lands on the kitchen screen

The server takes the order at the table from their own phone and it hits the kitchen display instantly, with a chime and a flash so nobody lets it slide: no slip to lose, no handwriting for anyone to decipher. A ticket that has been waiting turns amber and then red, the kitchen marks each dish as it goes out, and the expo sees the whole table so plates leave together rather than one at a time. The display runs on any tablet or monitor with a browser; if you would rather have paper, the ticket prints on your thermal printer.

02

Your tables, with their section, their party and their state

You register each table with its name, its section and how many people it seats, and you lay the room out by dragging them around from a tablet or a computer. At the point of sale the server finds the table, records how many guests actually arrived, and sees its state: free, seated, reserved or merged. When two parties join you merge the tables and split them again afterwards; if the party moves, you transfer the check to the other table without re-entering a thing.

03

No onions, medium rare, and dessert later

Every dish carries its modifiers, the required and the optional ones, plus a special-instructions field for whatever does not fit a list. You mark each line with its course — starter, main, dessert or drink — and the kitchen knows what goes out first and what waits. That is the difference between a ticket the kitchen has to interpret and one the kitchen simply executes.

04

The check splits the way they ask, not the way the system can manage

Split by seat, by guest, evenly across however many people they tell you, or by percentages you set yourself. You move lines from one subcheck to another, add or remove subchecks, and whatever nobody claims stays on the house's. Each subcheck carries its own tip and service charge and is paid separately; if they change their minds, you merge it all back into a single check.

05

Tips stay separate, service adds itself, and the shift closes balanced

A tip never blends into the sale: it is recorded separately, calculated on the subtotal before tax, and each subcheck can carry its own. For large parties you switch on the automatic service charge — you set the percentage and the party size it starts at, and it is added on its own, without a server having to ask. At close you declare the float you opened with, count the cash note by note, and Cuadra gives you the difference against what the sales say; the daily close pulls every register of the day together and prints with a signature line for the cashier and the shift manager.

06

The NIT is taken at the till, and the tip never reaches the invoice

At the till you type the NIT and Cuadra pulls the taxpayer name from the SAT, or you tap “no NIT” and the check stands as a final consumer. From the order you issue the DTE and it is certified in seconds. The tip and the service charge stay out of the invoice, as they should, so they never inflate the VAT you declare. If you are a pequeño contribuyente the document for your regime is issued, and a void is done with a credit note: both stay on the record, never deleted. Pro includes 250 DTE a month, and Q0.75 per DTE after that.

Frequently asked questions

  • How much does a restaurant system cost in Guatemala?
    Cuadra Pro is Q249 a month, or Q2,490 a year (two months free). It includes orders to the kitchen display, the floor plan, the point of sale, inventory, cash close, reservations, your own branding and 250 FEL DTEs a month; after those, Q0.75 per DTE. Pro covers one branch; Premium is Q500 a month and covers up to three. There is no per-sale commission.
  • Do I need a special screen in the kitchen?
    No. The kitchen display opens in any tablet or monitor with a browser, so whatever you already have will do. Orders land on their own as soon as the server fires them from their phone, and the cook marks each dish from the keyboard without putting dirty hands on the screen. If you would rather have paper, the ticket prints on your thermal printer.
  • Can I split the check between several guests?
    Yes. Split by seat, by guest, evenly, or by percentages you set, and move lines between subchecks until it matches what they asked for. Each subcheck carries its own tip and is paid separately, and you can always merge them back into one.
  • How are tips handled?
    A tip is recorded separately from the sale, calculated on the subtotal before tax, and it never reaches the FEL invoice. Each subcheck can carry its own, and for large parties you can switch on an automatic service charge with your percentage and your minimum party size. The cash close separates what came in as cash, card and transfer.
  • Can my guests book a table online?
    Yes. They book from a link in their phone's browser — choosing party size, date and time — without installing anything. The reservation lands on the day’s list with their name and phone, the guest gets a WhatsApp reminder, and when they arrive you seat them and the table moves to the point of sale with their details already loaded.
  • How do I issue the FEL invoice for a check?
    At the till you capture the NIT — or tap “no NIT” — and from the order you issue the DTE, certified with the SAT in seconds: with a NIT in the customer’s name, without one to a final consumer. The tip and the service charge stay off the document. If you are registered as a pequeño contribuyente the document for your regime is issued, and a void is done with a credit note without deleting the original.
