Why small restaurants can skip heavy POS hardware
A dedicated billing terminal, printer pile, and training week is for a different size of shop. T-Order assumes a phone you already own.
Hardware POS makes sense when you have a cashier station, a large SKU list, and a manager whose job is the till. A 8-table North Indian place usually has a counter that is also the parcel window.
T-Order is deliberately light: phone or desktop browser, PWA icon, PIN, tables and tickets. No till drawer integration. No kitchen screen in v1.
You still need
- A phone that can open a browser (and ideally install a PWA)
- Someone who can tap a menu — we are not training a new career
- Willingness to put the real menu in once
If you already bought a bulky machine and it is working, keep it. If it is sitting in a carton because nobody trained the evening shift, this is the other path.
If this matches how you run the floor, talk to us. Techinventify creates your restaurant, staff logins, and trial. There is no public signup and no card on this site.

Dhaba, cafe, bakery, or parcel only
The product does not care if you serve thali, espresso, or pav. It cares that staff take table tickets. Small Indian shops with seating are the audience.
