A restaurant runs differently from a coffee shop: tables stay open during service, the kitchen gets a stream of orders coming in and going out, guests split the bill, and tips are settled per shift. El Nido handles all of it from your phone, with nothing to install.

​
What El Nido does for your restaurant

​
How a restaurant uses El Nido

A Thursday night service:
  • The server takes the order from their phone and sends it to an account named after the table.
  • The order lands on the kitchen screen with its time. The cook marks it preparing, then ready.
  • Every time the table orders more, it goes on the same account.
  • At the end, if each guest pays their own share, you split the bill and charge by parts.
  • The tip is captured at checkout and accumulated per shift.
  • At close, the shift cut reconciles everything from that shift.

​
Know whether you’re actually making money

Beyond running service, El Nido tells you if the restaurant is profitable: you log your expenses (by hand or from a photo of the receipt) and see your live income statement, with the cost of what you sold, your waste, and the profit left over, for any period you choose.

​
A points card for your regulars

A restaurant with guests who come back one to three times a week (set menus, sushi, home cooking) can turn on the digital points card: guests earn on what they spend and redeem for a dessert or a discount, with no paper card.

Have more than one restaurant?

El Nido runs multi-location, and we price it case by case for your setup. Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll put together the right number for you.

​
When you don’t need a POS for your restaurant

  • You sell fewer than 30 tickets a day.
  • You run the floor solo, with no servers.
  • You don’t care about reconciling tips or measuring profitability.
At low volume, a notebook still works. A POS starts to pay off when you have several servers, a kitchen that gets slammed, or you want to know what you’re really making.

​
What it costs for your size

  • Starter ($349/mo): small restaurant. Point of sale, accounts, waste and basic loyalty.

  • Business ($999/mo): everything unlimited plus Pío, your AI assistant.
