System Overview & Philosophy.
How Weaver replaces fragmented restaurant software with one unified, real-time operating system.
Weaver is designed around a singular operational principle: modern restaurants shouldn't stitch together four different subscription services, deal with locked-in proprietary hardware, or pay 20% to 30% delivery commissions just to let customers order food.
The Quiet SaaS Philosophy
Weaver avoids unnecessary visual noise, flashing animations, and complex multi-layered menus. In the heat of lunch rush, your cashiers, baristas, and line cooks need instant clarity, high-contrast typography, and single-tap responsiveness.
How the Weaver Engine Syncs in Real Time.
Every touchpoint in Weaver—from a diner's smartphone at Table 4 to your counter register and kitchen screen—connects to an instant bidirectional event bus powered by Supabase Realtime and WebSockets. There is zero polling, zero manual browser refreshes, and sub-100 millisecond synchronization across all screens.
| Touchpoint | Primary User | Key Functionality | Supported Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Menu | Customer (Diner) | Zero-download QR ordering, allergens, WhatsApp dispatch | Any smartphone (iOS / Android) |
| Staff POS | Cashier / Server | Touch register, open tabs, bill splitting, cash reconciliation | iPads, Android tablets, touch PC |
| Kitchen KDS | Line Cook / Chef | Live bump bar, cook times, urgency alerts, station routing | Wall-mounted 10"+ tablets, TV screens |
| Self-Order Kiosk | Guest / Walk-in | Touchscreen ordering, automatic upselling, card payment | 10"-24" portrait or landscape totems |
Zero Hardware Lock-In
Unlike legacy POS systems that force you to buy R15,000 proprietary terminals, Weaver runs in standard modern web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge) on hardware you already own or can purchase from any electronics retailer.
