Everything a food business needs

One system replaces the cash drawer notes, paper slips, stock notebook and month-end spreadsheets.

Take orders anywhere
On a phone, tablet or laptop you already own.
Use a phone, tablet or laptop you already own. Pick sizes, add extras and notes, and take cash or card in a few taps.
A kitchen screen, not paper slips
Orders reach the kitchen the moment they are placed.
Orders appear in the kitchen the moment they are placed. One tap moves them from cooking to ready.
Print it or WhatsApp it
Print a receipt, or send it on WhatsApp.
Give every customer a receipt: print one on a till roll, or send it on WhatsApp in one tap.
Cash-up that catches mistakes
Count the till blind and see if it balances.
Count the till blind at the end of a shift. ClearServe shows whether it balances and flags anything that does not.
Stock and the real cost of every dish
Know what every dish costs and earns.
Record deliveries and recipes to see what each dish costs and earns, and get a warning before you run out.
An owner dashboard

Know who did what
See each cashier’s sales, discounts and refunds.

Built for owners who run it themselves

Kota and takeaway shops, pizza and grill restaurants, small cafés: if you have a menu and a till, ClearServe fits. It is made for a few staff, tight margins and patchy internet.

Your data is yours. Every business is kept completely separate from every other.
The right access for each person. Owners, managers, cashiers, kitchen and stock staff see only what they need.
Backed up and checked. Encrypted backups, and every update is tested before it goes live.

Questions

Do I need special equipment?

No. ClearServe runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop. A receipt printer is optional.

Does it take card payments?

ClearServe records card payments, and works with whichever card machine you already use. It does not run the card machine itself.

What if my internet goes down?

Keep trading. Orders are stored on the device and sent when you are back online.

What does it cost?

After your free trial there is a simple monthly price for each location, with no cut of your sales. Request a trial and we will talk you through it.

Who can see my sales?

Only the people you give a sign-in to, and only what their role allows. Every business is kept completely separate from every other.
