⏱ Built-in SLA tracking
Running late? The screen flags it.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
What is eresto One?
The complete restaurant management software. Everything to run the restaurant from one place — POS & billing, kitchen display, captain ordering, plus your digital menu, store and expense management. Online or offline, on any device.
- ✓ Billing & POS — online & offline, any device
- ✓ eresto Captain + eresto KDS, perfectly synced

What does the FSSAI Mandate require?
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has mandated that food service establishments with central licenses or 10+ outlets must display nutritional and allergen information directly on their menus. Specifically, menus must show:
- ✓ Calorific Value: Clear display of energy content (in kcal per serving) next to each item.
- ✓ Portion Size: Portion and service size (e.g., in grams or serving count) per dish.
- ✓ Allergen Declaration: Warning labels for common allergens (gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, etc.).
How eresto DigiMenu is FSSAI compliant?
eresto DigiMenu is built from the ground up to automate FSSAI compliance. It displays calorie counts, portion sizes, allergen warnings, and veg/non-veg tags directly on the customer's phone by default. Because it is digital, you can update nutritional values instantly on the dashboard without reprinting physical menus.
Can I use eresto Queue separately?
Yes, absolutely. eresto Queue is fully standalone. If you already have another POS or restaurant management system and only need a smart waitlist and queue manager for your entrance, you can subscribe to eresto Queue individually for ₹799/month. It works on any mobile or tablet without needing the rest of the eresto suite.
Can I start with just one product?
Yes. eresto digiMenu and eresto Queue work on their own, so you can start with just one. Everything else — POS billing, captain ordering, kitchen display and the back-office — comes together in eresto One, our complete suite.
What if my outlet has power cuts or unreliable internet?
That's exactly what eresto Edge solves. Both the Windows and Android versions work fully
offline and sync everything when connectivity returns.
How long does setup take?
Most restaurants are fully onboarded within 24–48 hours, including menu upload, staff
training, and printer configuration. Multi-outlet rollouts take 5–7 days per location.
