A restaurant selling through several delivery apps knows the scene: multiple tablets on the counter, orders re-keyed into the till, and a draining monthly reconciliation with each app. Connecting to Odoo turns those channels into a single flow.
The channels that get connected
- Delivery apps such as HungerStation and Jahez, directly or through an aggregator such as Deliverect.
- Ordering from your own website or app, with online payment.
- Points of sale in branches, either Odoo POS or a system such as Foodics connected to Odoo.
- Kitchen displays, so orders from every channel arrive in the same place.
What the restaurant gains
- Each order is entered once, with no re-keying into the till.
- Ingredient usage is deducted from stock by recipe, so you know the real cost of each dish.
- Each app's sales and commissions appear separately, so you know each channel's profitability.
- Reconciling with the apps means matching one ready report, not dozens of receipts.
- Switching off a sold-out item across channels from one place, where the integration supports it.
Recipe costing: the biggest win
When each dish's recipe is defined in Odoo, every order becomes a stock movement of its ingredients. Within weeks you can see the gap between expected and actual consumption, and that gap is usually waste nobody could see before.
Before integrating
- Align the menu items and their codes across the apps and the till.
- Define add-ons and options the same way in every channel.
- Map each app to a receivable account and a commission account.
- Run a full peak hour as a test before relying on the integration.
Integration options vary between apps, depending on what each platform offers its partners, so we confirm the available connector for each app at the start of the project, before committing to any scope.
