Restaurant Ordering & Management Platform

The challenge

Orders arrived by phone, Messenger, and delivery apps charging 20–30% commission. Menus and prices drifted between six branches, and there was no single view of daily sales.

What we built

A branded online ordering site and per-branch kitchen dashboard on one shared menu. Orders route in real time to the right kitchen, dine-in guests order via QR, and sales roll up into one report the owners actually check.

Features delivered
  • Online & QR dine-in ordering
  • Branch / kitchen dashboard
  • Shared menu & pricing
  • GCash, Maya & card payments
  • Order-status SMS
  • Consolidated sales reports
  • Promo & discount codes

In their words

Owners and operators who now run on software that fits.

What clients across the Philippines tell us after their system goes live.

We stopped paying 20–30% to delivery apps. Customers now order straight from our own site, and every branch sees the same menu and prices.

MS
Maria Santos
Owner · Kusina ni Maria

Double-bookings were our biggest headache. Since the new system went live, the front desk finally has one clear view of every room.

RC
Rafael Cruz
General Manager · Palawan resort

The automated SMS reminders alone cut our no-shows. Pulling up a patient's history now takes seconds instead of digging through folders.

AR
Dr. Anna Reyes
Clinic Owner · Dental practice

They built us a real store we own, synced with Shopee and Lazada. Our margins improved and we finally have our own customer data.

KT
Kevin Tan
Founder · Retail brand

As non-technical founders we needed a real MVP with billing. Vanguardbytes shipped it, and we landed our first paying customers.

JL
Jasmine Lim
Co-founder · SaaS startup

Our approvals used to live in email and Excel. Now everything is tracked in one place with a full history — nothing slips through.

It depends on scope, but as a guide: a starter web app runs ₱150,000–₱350,000, a full business management system ₱350,000–₱1,000,000+, and custom CRM/ERP or SaaS platforms more. Use the calculator above for an instant estimate — every project gets a fixed, itemised quote before we start.
