A restaurant back office for the menu and the numbers

See how it works

Volio's back office is where the owner of a restaurant, bar, café or beach club keeps the menu and reads the numbers. Change a dish, its options or its hours once, and the phones, the kiosk and the menu boards follow. On Sunday morning, Saturday's takings are there by the hour.

Today in the demo venue's back office: takings so far, the tables seated, bookings today and one thing that needs the owner
A real screen from Honest, Volio's demo venue: Today, the first page the owner sees.

The menu

How the back office works

One menu feeds the guest's phone, the kiosk, the POS and the menu boards. You change it in one place.

Items, and sold out in one tap

Every dish with its price, how many sold and a switch. Off, and it's gone from every phone and screen at once.

Items in the demo venue's back office: dishes with their price, how many sold and an on/off switch

Options and add-ons

The questions a dish asks: which milk, which side, a larger protein. Each with its price, and asked on every dish that needs it.

Options & add-ons in the demo venue's back office: questions such as Choose your milk and Add your Sides, with their choices and prices, and how many dishes ask each

A schedule for each category

Breakfast until noon, then lunch. Each category is served at the hours you give it, and the menu changes by itself.

The demo venue's menu schedule for Saturday: each category on a timeline from midnight to midnight

Languages

Translated by machine, and every line is yours to edit. The list shows what's missing and what's checked.

Languages in the demo venue's back office: English as the source, Greek with texts still missing, and each text beside its translation

The numbers

Saturday's numbers, Sunday morning

What sold, when, and what it earned. Read on the sofa, on a phone, or exported.

Takings by day and by hour

A week, a month or a quarter, by day or by hour, with an export to Excel or CSV.

Takings in the demo venue's back office: sales by day for one week, and buttons for days, hours, week, month, quarter and export

Items and margins

The dishes that bring in the most, each with its share of sales and how often it sold.

Sunday, 10:00, coffee and last night

Before, Saturday was a till roll and a feeling. Now it's four screens before the second coffee.

  1. 10:00

    What Saturday took

    Takings by hour show the rush started earlier than the rota did.

  2. 10:20

    What sold

    Items and margins put the bowl that's always gone by eight at the top.

  3. 10:35

    The menu, changed

    The dish nobody ordered goes off, and two prices move. Phones, the kiosk and the boards follow.

  4. 10:50

    The paper, checked

    Volio says which printed table menus are now out of date, and you print them again.

Around the menu

Share & print in the demo venue's back office: a table menu with 86 changes since it was printed, today's specials and a counter poster

Paper menus from the live menu

Table menus, posters and tents print from the menu, and Volio tells you which printed one is out of date.

Appearance in the demo venue's back office: three styles, a brand colour and a live phone preview

Your style and colour

Questions owners ask

Something else? hello@usevolio.com

If I change a price, where does it change?

On the guest's phone, the kiosk, the POS and the menu boards. Printed menus don't change by themselves: Volio tells you which ones are out of date so you can print them again.

Can the menu change during the day?

Yes. Each category has its own hours, breakfast until noon for example, and the menu follows them.

What numbers do I get?

Takings by day and by hour, items and margins with your best sellers, and an export to Excel or CSV.

Can I run it from my phone?

Yes. The back office opens in a browser on any phone, tablet or computer.

Which plan has the back office?

The menu and sales reports are on every paid plan. Paper menus come with Essential, and advanced analytics and exports with Pro. See the plans and prices on this page.
