Owner, Love Dumplings Legend
The ordering system has also helped us significantly reduce our labour costs. It's such a reliable, trustworthy POS system. I've been in the restaurant industry for 30 years and seen many systems, but Dines has always been the best, and at the forefront.
A day in the life
Same shift. Two very different services.
An independent restaurant or bar operator's twelve-hour shift, hour by hour. On the left, every minute lost to disconnected systems, broken tech and after-hours admin. On the right, all of that handled for you.
Without Dines
of a 12-hour shift gone to admin, broken spreadsheet errors, mid-service crises and cash-up.
With Dines
of admin with Dines. The other eleven and a half hours go to your guests and your team.
Two reports and three formats before you've finished your coffee.
Pull last night's covers from the POS. Open a separate reporting tool for card takings. Match them by hand. Find the £27 variance in wine sales from the night before. Half an hour later you finally know what last night actually did.
One overnight summary. Read while the kettle boils.
Tilly compiles it overnight in your inbox. Revenue, covers, top sellers, GPs, costs over £10, anomalies. You walk in knowing exactly where to focus today.
Stock counts and allergen sheets, all done by hand.
Two no-shows for tonight. Phone three staff to fill in. Update the wage forecast. Walk the cellar with a clipboard. Print fresh allergen sheets. Service is in three hours.
Stock synced and allergens already on the till.
The Dines restaurant EPOS handles real-time stock control, so the cellar count happens automatically. Allergen flags live on every order screen. You brief the team instead of building spreadsheets.
The card machine drops and trading grinds to a halt.
Payment terminals stand alone on a third-party WiFi connection. The terminal wobbles. Front of house goes cash only. The rest of service is spent apologising and offering rounds on the house.
Offline failover in nine seconds. Service never breaks rhythm.
Dines' offline resilience keeps the queue moving when the network drops. Payments sync locally and upload the moment signal returns. The kitchen never noticed. You learn about it in the next-day report.
Coursing chaos. Allergens on a napkin.
Orders get lost between the POS and the pass. Starters land while the kitchen still fires mains. A guest's nut allergy gets recited by the waiter and forgotten at the pass. You spend service walking back and forth between front and back of house to keep it together.
Cloud printing, KDS and allergen prompts. The pass stays calm.
Orders go from the Dines bar EPOS to the kitchen via cloud printing and the KDS. Flexible coursing fires starters and mains at the right moments. Smart prompts and recipe flags handle allergens automatically. You stay on the floor.
Forty minutes on hold, no fix.
Kitchen printer dies during mid orders. You call support and reach a phone tree, then a chat window that keeps the queue questions. Forty minutes of hold music. You'll see a human tomorrow. The chef is writing tickets on receipt roll.
A real hospitality expert in sixty seconds. Fixed in five.
You call. A human answers in under a minute, 24/7, 365 days a year. They remotely diagnose the printer, push the firmware fix, and confirm it's back trading. Average solution time: around five minutes. You stayed on the floor the entire time.
Cash up, reconcile, and set an alarm for five hours' time.
Close tills. Match Z-reads to card takings and track down a £34 variance that takes twenty minutes to find. Email the GM. Set an alarm for 06:05. Bed at 01:15. Do it all again tomorrow.
Cash up in five, reports already with finance.
The Dines hospitality POS reconciles takings, tips and bill variants automatically. The end-of-day pack lands in finance's inbox before you've locked up. You're home by 23:15. Tilly sends the overnight brief at 06:00.
