Softwave Restaurant Platform
A multi-tenant restaurant system: online ordering on each restaurant's own branded website, a POS inside the dashboard, and built-in restaurant accounting.
Overview
Softwave Restaurant is a SaaS platform that gives every restaurant three things in one system: its own branded website for online orders and table reservations, a point-of-sale screen inside the dashboard for in-store orders, and the restaurant's accounting.
It is multi-tenant: one codebase serves every restaurant. Each restaurant runs on its own domain with its own logo, colors, menu, branches and settings. Pizza Bebo is the first restaurant live on it.
The problem
Restaurants usually juggle a delivery app, a separate cashier system and spreadsheets for accounts. Orders, sales and money end up in three places, and the restaurant has no website of its own.
The solution
One platform where online orders and POS orders land in the same orders list, every sale feeds straight into the accounting (journal entries, account statements, trial balance), and each restaurant gets its own branded ordering website.
Who It's For

Each request's domain is resolved to its restaurant through a signed (HMAC) server call, then cached

Challenges & Solutions
One codebase, many restaurants
Challenge
Every restaurant needed its own domain, branding, menu and settings, without deploying a separate app for each one, and without one tenant ever seeing another tenant's data.
Solution
The app resolves the tenant from the incoming domain on the server. It calls the tenant API with a service key and an HMAC-signed payload, caches the result per domain with tag-based revalidation, and falls back safely if the lookup fails. Theme, languages and API endpoints are then driven by that tenant's configuration.
POS and online orders in one flow
Challenge
In-store cashier orders and online orders have different inputs (branch, walk-in customer, order type, taxes), but they must end up in the same orders list and the same accounts.
Solution
I built the POS as a dashboard feature on the same order model: a product grid, a customization dialog and a cart panel that calculates subtotal, tax fees and total. Both channels create orders the same way, so reports and accounting stay consistent.
