TouchBistro integration
TouchBistro is an iPad-based POS system designed specifically for the restaurant industry. It is popular across the United States and Canada, especially among independently owned restaurants, bars, and quick-service concepts. TouchBistro handles table management, staff scheduling, menu configuration, and in-store payments from an iPad interface. By connecting DirectOrders with TouchBistro, you add a commission-free online ordering channel without disrupting your front-of-house operations. Your staff keeps using the TouchBistro iPad for dine-in service while online orders flow through DirectOrders, giving you a dedicated direct ordering website that you fully control.
Why it works
- Keep using TouchBistro on iPad for dine-in and front-of-house operations
- Add a branded online ordering website without changing your in-store setup
- Avoid per-order commissions charged by third-party delivery platforms
- Own your customer data and build direct relationships with online guests
- Manage online menus independently through the DirectOrders dashboard
