Everything Ceres does

From the first dish to the last report. Below is everything Ceres does for your menu, your guests and your team.

For the whole team, not just the manager

For the manager

The whole menu in one app: prices, photos, design, print, and the numbers at the end of the day.

For the waiting staff

Calls and orders on the phone, with no walk to the table for every small thing.

For the cooks

Orders on a screen in the kitchen, by station and with a timer on every dish, and no paper tickets.

For the guests

The menu in their own language, with photos and allergens, and nothing to install.

01 — Menu

Building the menu

Reorder sections and dishes by dragging, duplicate or hide them in one click
Price, description and ingredients for each language separately
The EU allergen list, calories, prep time, and how spicy it is
Labels on the dishes: chef’s pick, new, vegan, seasonal, signature and more
A different price during chosen hours — for happy hour or a lunch menu
Dishes that only show on certain days or in certain seasons
Suggestions on a dish: “goes well with” — the guest adds something more
Several menus ready to go: regular, summer, lunch

02 — Import

Whatever you have today

A paper menu: photograph the pages and the dishes appear with their prices and sections
A file on the computer: it transfers straight across, with no retyping
A menu on another QR platform: we pull it out of there and bring it over
Nothing ready at all: we sit down together and build it from scratch
Every route passes your approval before it reaches a guest

03 — Languages

Nobody orders what they cannot read

As many languages as you want, including ones other platforms do not carry
Write it once in Bulgarian — the rest translates itself
Correct any translation where you would rather have a different word
The guest sees the menu in their language from the first scan
Allergens and ingredients are translated too, not just the names

04 — Images

Photos that make a guest order

A photo from your phone is enough — the app takes care of the rest
Crop and rotate on the spot, with no second program
Every dish comes out in the same frame for a perfectly arranged menu
The menu still opens fast on weak signal in the dining room

05 — Design

It looks like your venue

Ready styles that look designed, not picked from a template gallery
Match the colours and the type to your logo and your interior
A light and a dark version — the guest picks whichever suits the evening
See every change immediately, exactly as the guest will see it on their phone
You need no designer’s eye — every combination is built to look right

Design panel with themes and a live preview

06 — Print

Print and PDF

One, two or three columns; A4, A5 or Letter
Colour with your accent, or black and white for cheap printing
Choose what appears: photos, prices, descriptions, allergens, calories, badges
A second name under each dish, for menus aimed at foreign guests
Automatic fitting so there are no half-empty pages
Logo top right, your own subtitle and footer line
Print or save as PDF from the print dialog

07 — Publishing

A code for every table

Every table has a code of its own, with the table number beneath it
That is how the waiter knows which table an order came from
Print them all at once as cards, or we deliver them ready
The code opens the menu at your own address — no one else’s name in it
The codes stay the same however often you change the menu

08 — Guests

What the guest does

Browses by section, with the category rail staying on screen while scrolling
Opens a dish with a large photo, ingredients, allergens, calories and spice
Searches the menu and marks favourites
Dietary filters applied across the whole menu
Builds a basket with a running total in euro and leva
Sees the happy-hour price automatically during that window
Switches between light and dark

Live demo

Open the demo menu

A real menu, open in your browser — the same one a guest sees. The demo carries no table number, so ordering and calling a waiter are switched off in it.

Searching the menu with results on screen

09 — Live

Live service

Dish ratings and an average visible to guests
Happy guests are pointed at a Google review, unhappy ones write only to you
Live availability: “sold out” reaches every open menu at once
Waiter calls and bill requests with a payment choice
Table ordering that reaches the staff
A staff app on the phone with a board per table
Reservations by table and hour with a free-table check

10 — Kitchen

Kitchen screen (KDS)

Every confirmed order is a ticket on the kitchen tablet, oldest always first
One tap per dish: waiting → cooking → ready
The timer starts at confirmation, turns amber when the prep time runs out and red six minutes later
Station tabs — grill, salads, desserts — and each tablet remembers its own
Dishes a waiter typed by hand land under “Other” and are not lost
A “pass” list: dishes marked ready that nobody has carried out yet
A new order arrives with a light animation, without the rest flickering
Sound on a new order, light and dark theme and fullscreen — per tablet

11 — Analytics

The numbers at the end of the day

Turnover, paid orders and dishes sold for a chosen period, against the previous one
Average value of a single order
Turnover by hour and by day — you see when the work actually happens
Best sellers by quantity and best sellers by revenue, separately, because they are not the same thing
Turnover per table
Order history: what was ordered, from which table and at what time
Menu behaviour: views, devices, languages, hours, returning guests
A dish everyone opens and nobody orders shows up immediately

12 — WhatsApp

Reservations over WhatsApp

The guest writes to the venue’s number — the button sits in their menu
Date, time and party size are picked from buttons, not typed
Checks the free tables for that day and hour before promising anything
When the evening is full, it offers the nearest free times
Writes the reservation straight into the system, not into a notebook by the phone
Works when nobody can pick up — the lunch rush, Saturday night, a day off
A separate add-on to the Reservations module; it is in no plan

13 — Ingredients

The kitchen knows what is running out before it runs out.

A recipe on every dish: how much of what goes into one portion.
A paid order draws down stock by itself. The arithmetic lives in the database, not the app — it works with the laptop shut.
Food cost and margin per dish. A menu gets fixed in a day once you can see which two dishes are dragging it down.
An ingredient under its limit lights up in the app, and an evening digest arrives by email, grouped by supplier.
A purchase draft with quantities already rounded to whole packs. You check it and send by email or WhatsApp in one tap.
Stocktake: counted against calculated. The gap is theft, spoilage or a wrong recipe — and it is a number, not a hunch.

The ingredients and stock screen in Ceres, open on a laptop

14 — AR

The dish on the table, before it is ordered

The guest points their phone at the table and the dish stands on it
The size is the real one — you see how big the portion is
It opens from the code on the table; there is no app to install
It turns and can be looked at closely, from every side
Built for chosen dishes — each one needs its own 3D model

15 — Operations

Who can change what

Waiting staff see the orders but cannot change a price
The kitchen screen shows no prices or bills — a cook moves dishes, nothing else
Pressing the wrong button on the kitchen screen goes back without calling the manager
Every menu change is kept, so a mistake can be undone
If the computer gives up, your menu is not lost with it
Guests never see your supplier prices or your internal notes
