01
Queues at lunch
Hundreds of customers arrive in the same hour. One cashier cannot take orders fast enough, and people walk to the next stall.
Food courts & kiosks
High volume from a very small counter
Self-service kiosks take orders while your team cooks. A customer display shows each order as it is rung up. One small terminal runs the whole stall, even when the mall Wi-Fi does not.

Food courts & kiosks
Lunch hour, a few hundred hungry people, one small counter and mall Wi-Fi that drops at noon. DineBills is built for exactly that hour.
The challenge
A food court stall has no room for error
Rent is high, counters are tiny and lunch hour is everything. Every metre and every minute has to earn money.
02
Counter space
There is barely room for a till, a printer and a card terminal. Bulky hardware and extra tablets are not an option.
03
Shared, unreliable internet
Mall networks slow down at peak or drop completely. A POS that depends on them stops when you need it most.
04
Order mistakes
In a noisy hall, customers cannot hear the cashier repeat the order. Wrong items mean remakes and refunds.
How DineBills helps
More orders per hour, in less space
Let customers serve themselves, show them every item, and keep the kitchen focused.
01 · Self-service
Kiosks that take the queue off your till
Customers browse the menu with pictures, choose their options, and send the order themselves. The kitchen gets the ticket at once, and staff can focus on cooking and handing over food.
- Full menu with images, modifiers and deals
- Upsells like make-it-a-meal built into the flow
- Order number printed for collection
- Same menu and prices as the POS
02 · Customer display
Customers see what they ordered
A second screen facing the customer shows each item and the total as the cashier rings it up. Mistakes get caught before the food is made, not after.
- Items, modifiers and total in real time
- Your logo and colours when idle
- Fewer remakes and refunds
- Works from the same POS terminal
03 · Counter
A full POS on one small terminal
DineBills runs on a compact Windows or Mac touch terminal, or an iPad or Android tablet. Add a small thermal printer and a cash drawer, and you have everything.
- Runs on compact touch terminals and tablets
- Silent receipt and KOT printing
- Offline-first: no dependence on mall Wi-Fi
- Quick-service mode: items, Pay, tender

Frequently asked questions
Still curious? Talk to our team.
What hardware do I need for a food court stall?
A touch terminal (Windows or Mac) or a tablet, a small thermal printer and a cash drawer is enough. Add a kiosk and a customer display when you are ready. See our hardware page for what works.
Can customers order and pay at a kiosk?
Yes. Kiosks show your full menu with pictures, modifiers and deals, and send orders straight to the kitchen with an order number for collection.
Can I show a now-serving screen?
Yes. An order-ready screen shows order numbers as preparing and ready, so customers wait where they can see it instead of crowding the counter. See the customer display page for the options.
Does the customer display need its own computer?
No. The customer display connects to the same POS terminal and mirrors the current order as the cashier rings it up.
