Overview

Meniuu is a web-based SaaS platform for coffee shops, restaurants, food businesses, and delivery drivers. It turns everyday devices into role-specific tools for POS, QR ordering, kitchen displays, reservations, payments, delivery, and analytics. The platform helps teams work across servers, cooks, cashiers, bussers, hosts, managers, owners, and customers without requiring app downloads.

Research

The research focused on restaurant workflows, ordering delays, team coordination, delivery costs, and business visibility.

Research Area	Key Finding
Order Management	Paper orders caused kitchen errors, delays, and waste.
Team Coordination	Front-of-house and kitchen teams lacked real-time communication.
Delivery Costs	Third-party delivery commissions reduced restaurant margins.
Table Service	Slow order-taking caused delays and lost revenue.
Device Access	Restaurants needed tools that worked across phones, tablets, and iPads.
Payment Flow	Businesses needed instant card payments routed to bank accounts.
Business Insights	Owners lacked real-time data on sales, inventory, teams, and customers.

The research showed a need for one connected platform that improves service speed, reduces manual work, and gives restaurants better control over daily operations.

Challenges → Solutions

The project addressed ordering, payments, delivery, team coordination, and analytics challenges.
