## Core Modules & Capabilities

### 1. Smart QR Code Table Ordering
- Diners scan a table QR code using any smartphone camera without downloading any mobile app.
- Digital menu loads in under 1 second with high-resolution food images and veg/non-veg tags.
- Diners can customize dish options, add special cooking instructions, and place dine-in orders instantly.

### 2. Live Kitchen Display System (KDS)
- Replaces lost paper KOT slips with real-time digital kitchen order screens.
- Rings with sound alerts for new tickets; highlights pending prep times with visual timers.
- Displays dish modifiers, table numbers, and order status (Pending, Cooking, Ready, Served).

### 3. Anti-Prank GPS Dine-In Geofence Guard
- Automatically verifies diner's GPS location against the restaurant's physical latitude/longitude.
- Restricts table orders strictly to guests physically inside the restaurant (configurable radius from 50m to 500m).
- Prevents remote prank orders and false kitchen tickets.

### 4. 1-Click AI Physical Menu Scanner
- Restaurant managers photograph paper menus; RestroSense AI parses dishes, descriptions, categories, and prices into the database in under 2 minutes.
- Vendor bills and mandi slips can also be scanned to inward inventory without typing. Menu scans and invoice scans do not use AI chat credits.

### 4b. Anti-Theft PIN & Leakage Log
- A restaurant-level manager PIN is required to void a KOT or reprint a bill after the first print.
- Every void, discount, and reprint is logged with who, when, how much, and why.
- Starter includes today's leakage log. Pro adds a by-staff scoreboard.

### 4c. Sales Reports (Pro)
- On-screen reports for today, yesterday, last 7 days, this month, or a custom date range: sales, cash vs UPI vs card, food vs drinks, time of day, top and slow dishes, with CSV download.

### 4d. Custom Domain for QR Menu
- Optional add-on so the table QR opens order.yourcafe.com instead of restrosense.com, with SSL after one CNAME.

### 4e. GST Invoices
- Diner-facing GST bills (CGST/SGST) print from the POS and live as GST tabs inside Order History — not a separate Invoices sidebar.
- RestroSense also emails official GST tax invoices to the restaurant for Input Tax Credit on the software subscription when GSTIN is saved in billing settings.

### 5. AI Voice Menu Search
- Multilingual voice search (Hindi & English). Diners tap the microphone and speak natural queries (e.g., "Veg me kya special hai", "Show spicy starters").

### 6. Offline Billing POS
- Cashiers and managers can take orders, process counter tickets, and print bills even during complete internet outages. Auto-syncs when connection restores.

### 7. Inventory & Waste Management
- Automated ingredient consumption tracking per dish sold.
- Low-stock alerts and AI-assisted restock forecasts.
