## Frequently Asked Questions

### General

**Q: Do my customers need to download an app to view the menu?**
A: No. Customers simply scan the QR code with their phone camera and the menu opens instantly in their web browser. No app download required.

**Q: What languages does Menute support?**
A: Menute automatically detects the customer's device language and displays menus in English, Romanian, or Japanese. The restaurant dashboard is available in all three languages as well.

**Q: How quickly can I update my menu?**
A: Instantly. Changes to prices, item descriptions, availability, or photos take effect immediately across all QR codes and digital displays.

**Q: Can I use Menute for multiple restaurant locations?**
A: Yes. The Professional and higher plans support unlimited locations managed from a single dashboard. Each location can have its own menu, staff, and settings.

**Q: Is there a setup fee?**
A: No. All plans have zero setup fees. The 14-day free trial lets you test all features before committing.

### Features & Integration

**Q: Does Menute integrate with my existing POS system?**
A: Menute currently integrates with Square POS via the Square SDK. For other POS systems, we offer API access (Enterprise plan) or can build custom integrations. Contact us to discuss your specific POS requirements.

**Q: How does the WhatsApp ordering work?**
A: Customers send a message to your restaurant's WhatsApp number (e.g., "I'd like 2 pizzas and a salad"). Our AI (powered by Claude 3 Haiku via OpenRouter) parses the order, confirms details with the customer, and sends it directly to your kitchen display system. You can customize AI responses and menu item recognition.

**Q: Can I accept payments through Menute?**
A: Yes. Stripe integration (Business plan and above) allows you to accept credit cards, SEPA direct debit, Apple Pay, and Google Pay directly through the digital menu. Customers can pay before or after dining.

**Q: What if I lose internet connection?**
A: Menute is a Progressive Web App (PWA). If customers have previously loaded your menu, it will display from cache even offline. Once connection is restored, orders sync automatically. For critical operations, we recommend backup 4G/5G connectivity.

**Q: Can I export my data?**
A: Yes. Business and Enterprise plans include PDF and Excel export for menus, orders, inventory reports, sales analytics, and invoices. You own your data and can export it anytime.

### Kitchen Display System (KDS)

**Q: How does the Kitchen Display System work?**
A: Orders from QR menus, WhatsApp, or manual entry appear instantly on kitchen display screens (tablets, monitors, or dedicated KDS hardware). Kitchen staff can mark orders as received, preparing, ready, or delivered. The system includes time tracking, order prioritization, and low-stock alerts.

**Q: Can I use my existing tablets for the KDS?**
A: Yes. Any modern tablet or computer with a web browser can be used as a kitchen display. Simply log in to the KDS dashboard and it will automatically display incoming orders. We recommend tablets with 10+ inch screens for best readability.

**Q: What happens if the kitchen display goes down?**
A: Orders are stored in the cloud and will reappear when the display reconnects. You can also view orders on any device (phone, laptop) by logging into the dashboard. For mission-critical operations, we recommend having a backup display.

### Security & Reliability

**Q: How secure is my restaurant's data?**
A: Very secure. Menute uses bank-level encryption (AES-256-GCM) for sensitive data, Row-Level Security policies to isolate restaurant data, CSRF protection on all endpoints, and HTTPS for all connections. We are built on Supabase (SOC 2 Type II certified) and deployed on Railway (ISO 27001 certified infrastructure).

**Q: What is your uptime guarantee?**
A: Business and Enterprise plans include a 99.9% uptime SLA (Service Level Agreement) with financial penalties if we fail to meet it. Our infrastructure is monitored 24/7 with automatic failover and real-time alerts.

**Q: Do you backup my data?**
A: Yes. Supabase (our database provider) performs automated backups every day with point-in-time recovery. We can restore your data to any point in the last 7 days (30 days for Enterprise plans).

**Q: Can I customize who has access to what features?**
A: Yes. The role system includes: Owner (full access), Manager (all features except billing), Kitchen Staff (KDS only), Server (table orders only), Inventory Manager (stock tracking only). You can create custom roles on Enterprise plans.

### Technical & Support

**Q: Do you offer API access?**
A: Yes, on the Enterprise plan. The API allows you to programmatically manage menus, orders, inventory, and retrieve analytics data. Full OpenAPI documentation is provided.

**Q: Can I use my own domain name?**
A: Yes. Professional plans and above support custom domains (e.g., menu.yourrestaurant.com). We provide DNS configuration instructions and free SSL certificates.

**Q: What kind of support do you offer?**
A: Free plan: Email support (48-hour response time). Professional: Priority email (24-hour response). Business: Phone + email (4-hour response). Enterprise: Dedicated account manager + phone + email (1-hour response, 24/7 emergency line).

**Q: Can I migrate my existing menu data into Menute?**
A: Yes. We offer free migration assistance for all paid plans. Send us your menu (PDF, Excel, Google Sheets, or images) and our team will import it into Menute. Enterprise customers receive white-glove migration with dedicated project managers.
