Features
How do the table QR codes work?
Every table has a unique QR code. The customer scans it with their smartphone, sees the menu and can order directly from the table. The order reaches the kitchen automatically.
Can I handle delivery, take-away and table orders?
Yes, all three order types are supported. You can enable or disable each of them in the settings. Each type has its own configuration (delivery zones, hours, minimum order).
Is the menu translated automatically?
Yes, thanks to artificial intelligence the menu can be translated automatically into over 30 languages. Ideal for tourist areas. You can also review and edit the translations.
Can I customise the look of the menu?
Yes, in the Branding section you can change the logo, colours, fonts and social links. Your restaurant's menu will carry your brand, not goristodirect's.
How do new order notifications work?
You receive real-time notifications in the admin dashboard with an alert sound. We also support browser push notifications and email.
Can I manage multiple locations?
Yes, with the Premium plan you can manage an unlimited number of locations from the same dashboard. Each location has its own menu, orders and settings.
Payments
Which payment methods can I accept?
You can accept cash on delivery, card on delivery (with a POS) and online credit/debit card payments through Stripe.
How much does Stripe cost? Who pays the fees?
Stripe charges a standard fee (around 1.4% + €0.25 per transaction in Europe). The fee is borne by the restaurant, but 100% of the order amount goes directly to your account.
Does goristodirect take a percentage of orders?
No. goristodirect takes no commission on orders. Our revenue comes exclusively from the monthly subscription. 100% of the order amount goes to the restaurant.
How do I set up Stripe for online payments?
In the Payments section of the dashboard, click "Set up Stripe Connect". You will be guided through the Stripe onboarding procedure, which takes about 5 minutes. You will need an ID document, your IBAN and your VAT number.
Plans and pricing
Which plans are available?
We offer 4 plans: Free (€0/month, 20 products), Base (€29/month, unlimited products), Pro (€59/month, 3 locations + advanced analytics) and Premium (€99/month, unlimited locations + white-label).
Can I change plan at any time?
Yes, you can move to a higher or lower plan at any time. Upgrades are immediate; downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period.
Is there a discount for annual payment?
Yes, paying annually saves you 15-17% compared with monthly payment.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel at any time without penalties. The service stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for. Your data is kept for 30 days after cancellation.
Technical support
How do I contact support?
You can reach us by email at supporto@sempreutile.it, through the contact form on the website or via the chat in the dashboard (for paid plans). Support is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm (Italian time).
Does the menu work offline?
The customer web app supports PWA mode with caching, so a menu that has already loaded remains accessible even with an unstable connection. Creating new orders does require a connection.
Is customer data safe?
Absolutely. We use SSL encryption, payments are handled by Stripe (PCI DSS certified) and card data never passes through our servers. We are GDPR compliant.
