FAQ
Does EatsDesk work for Illinois restaurants?
Yes. EatsDesk is a cloud restaurant OS used by high volume kitchens. Operators in Illinois can run POS, kitchen display, online ordering, riders, and more — switching modules on per branch.
How is pricing structured?
You pay per module, per branch, in USD. POS Core is the foundation; add KDS, waiter app, website ordering, riders, inventory, accounting, or AI only when you need them.
Can I replace marketplace ordering?
The Website & Ordering module lets customers order on your brand. Many operators still use marketplaces, but direct ordering reduces commission drag on repeat customers.
How fast can we go live?
Most teams start with POS and kitchen display, connect the menu, and train staff in days — not months. Add modules as volume grows.
