General

What is Don Pedido?

Don Pedido is a point-of-sale and restaurant management platform: table map, order taking, kitchen tickets, payments, and multi-branch administration, all from one account.

Who is it for?

Restaurants, cafeterias, bars, food trucks, bakeries, and any food business that takes orders and needs to manage tables, kitchen, and checkout in one place.

Do I need to buy special hardware?

No. Don Pedido works on any computer, tablet, or phone with a browser. If you want to print physical tickets, you can connect a regular thermal printer — no proprietary hardware required.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. You can create your account and start exploring the platform without a credit card. If you'd like a guided walkthrough first, write to us and we'll set one up.

Plans & Billing

Can I change plans later?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time as your business grows. Your data and configuration stay exactly as they were.

How am I billed?

Your subscription is billed in advance for each billing period, according to the plan you choose. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel from your account settings whenever you want. Your access continues until the end of the period you already paid for.

Is there a setup fee?

No, there are no hidden setup fees. You only pay for the plan you choose.

How It Works

Does it work if my internet goes down?

Yes. If the connection drops while a mesero is sending an order, Don Pedido queues it locally and retries automatically as soon as the connection is back — no orders are lost.

How do I print kitchen tickets and receipts?

You can either use a Kitchen Display Screen (no printing at all), or print automatically to thermal printers per station. Both are configurable per branch, and you can switch anytime.

Can I manage more than one branch?

Yes. Each plan includes a number of branches you can manage from a single account, with role-based permissions for every employee (waiter, cashier, cook, admin).

Can I customize products with modifiers and variations?

Yes, you can build extras that add to the price (like "extra cheese"), fixed-quantity groups (like "4 tacos split by flavor"), and conditional groups that only appear after another selection is made.

Can I split a bill between customers?

Yes, both evenly between a number of people, or based on what each diner actually ordered.

Security & Data

Is my data safe?

We use reasonable technical measures to protect your data, including password hashing and access controls. See our Privacy Notice for full details.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your data stays available during your notice period so you can export what you need. After that, it's deleted according to our retention policy described in our Privacy Notice.

Who can access my business data?

Only the users you create within your own account, with the permissions you assign to each role.

Support

Do you offer technical support?

Yes, our team is available by email to help you get set up and troubleshoot anything that comes up.

Do you offer training for my staff?

Yes, write to us and we can walk your team through the platform before you go live.
