Quito, Ecuador

Run your bar or restaurant on one system.

Your servers fire the order from their phone; the kitchen and bar see it on screen. Close the check and the sale comes out invoiced — the order is the invoice. Your website — QR menu and online reservations — is built in. One system to run your floor on a Friday night.

Software the way it should be: built around how you work, not one more tool that does everything halfway.

The problem

A different system for everything, or a messy one you fight every night: the order, the kitchen, the check, the inventory, the invoices.

WhatsApp groupSupplies · +8
Storeroomwe're out of gin 😬
didn't you buy yesterday?
Barno napkins or ice
Kitchenand the bread… nobody ordered it
ugh, I forgot
01

Three WhatsApp groups to run the place

One for the floor, one for buying, one for the kitchen. Someone asks for something, it gets forgotten, it never shows up. And no one knows who was supposed to do what.

02

The paper ticket that never made it to the kitchen

The server dropped it off, the cook never saw it. The dish comes out late, or it does not come out at all. The guest waits.

The invoice as a separate chore

Invoices at the end of the night, by hand, disconnected from the sale. The inventory, in a spreadsheet nobody opens anymore.

What it does

Built from inside service, not from an office.

It isn't a billing tool with a POS bolted on top. It's a modular, intelligent system: eleven areas that talk to each other. Sell a dish or a drink and stock drops on its own; close the table and the invoice comes out.

Know what's happening at every table without getting up.

A live map of the floor: open, seated, reserved. How many guests and for how long, at a glance. Did it start raining? Disable the terrace by zone in one tap. Drag one table onto another to join them and they share a single check. Your host sees table status from any device, read only.

From the server's phone to the kitchen and bar screens.

The server fires the order from their phone and it lands straight on the kitchen and bar screens — no shouting, no ticket lost on the floor. Screens, printers, or both together: each station takes its tickets however it works best, and every order routes to where it belongs. Mark dishes by course so the ticket reads in sequence, or fire a tasting menu course by course — plate to the kitchen, pour to the bar. Change the order and the kitchen sees it instantly.

Open the register, take payment, reconcile. No surprises at closeout.

Every shift opens with its float and closes with the count and the variance in plain sight. Payments by method, tips, petty-cash expenses, and bank drops. Split the check by item, evenly, or across methods and people. The expected cash always matches what's in the register.

Stock drops on its own when you sell the dish or the drink.

Stock by storeroom: bar, kitchen, back room. Every recipe, dish or drink, is tied to its menu item, so inventory is deducted with the sale. Cost and margin per item, updated in real time. Import the supplier's invoice and Mantel reads each line, works out the cost per unit, and matches it to your inventory — costs current without retyping. Even your smallware (glassware, plates, pans) keeps its own counts, breakage included.

The guest-chef dinner, without a separate spreadsheet.

Create the event — guest chef, date, hours — and its menu shows on your public carta that night only. Each dish carries limited servings that sell out on their own, and the pairing pours from your own cellar: every glass sold deducts its bottle. If the chef takes over the kitchen, your dishes step aside and the bar keeps selling. At the end, sales per dish and clean numbers to settle with the chef.

  • Limited servings
  • Pairings from your cellar
  • The chef's kitchen, your bar

From the online booking to the table, with nothing lost in between.

Bookings from your website land in the system with their status: confirmed, with a deposit, pending. Log walk-ins and assign a table. When someone arrives, the host checks them in and the table shows up on the floor instantly.

Admin, manager, floor lead, server, bartender, kitchen, chef, cashier, storekeeper, host. Each role with its own view. And it's all a PWA: it installs like an app on any phone or tablet, no App Store, no heavy downloads, and it holds up if the wifi blinks for a moment.

What happened today, in numbers that add up.

Sales by method, hours worked, cost and margin per dish, and your website's visits in the same place. A layer that reads the operation: which dishes are stars and which are dead weight, your bar variance in dollars, the busiest days and hours, and what data needs fixing. And your accountant gets a workspace of their own: sales and purchase ledgers, withholdings, the 104 worksheet, a P&L, and the monthly ATS export — with read-only access.

And in the end, the invoice isn't a separate chore. It's the sale.

Everything above ends here: electronic invoicing built in, not bolted on. Taxes and service charge worked out on their own. The order becomes the invoice: you close the table and the invoice is already done — RIDE as PDF, email, or thermal print. Regulars autofill by ID, and a client directory builds itself from every invoice. A refund? The credit note issues from the same place.

Your customer-facing website

Your website comes built in, too.

It is not just the back-of-house system. It includes your public site (landing page, QR menu, and online reservations) with your brand and your domain. The QR on the table opens your live menu. Guests book on their own, and capacity, deposits, and tables are all handled by the same system.

Every visit (where it came from, whether it booked, how long your team took to reply) lands in your reports.

White label

One system. Your brand.

You don't share an account with a hundred other venues. We deploy your own instance, with your color, your logo, and your domain, and the same operation takes on your brand. Pick one and watch it change.

How it works

It isn't a plan you subscribe to. It's a system that supports you.

We deploy your own instance, tailored to how you work, ready in three steps.

01Step one

We talk.

We get to know your venue: your zones, your roles, your menu, how your team works on a packed Saturday. No generic forms, just a conversation about how you run service.

Ready for Ecuador

Mantel is ready for any bar or restaurant. In Ecuador, the SRI module already comes adapted.

The platform isn't married to one country. But if you operate in Ecuador, the SRI electronic invoicing is already built and tested (access key, signature, transmission, RIDE) and running in production. You don't wait months for someone to integrate it.

A wine garden in Quito. Customer zero. What you see on this page is the same system running there every night.

“I didn't want one more piece of software that promises and never delivers. I wanted to see my tables, send the order, and have the invoice come out on its own. That's what it does.”

SRI already adapted

Ecuador's electronic invoicing is built and tested against the SRI, in production. It isn't an imported module or an add-on you pay for separately.

Not only Ecuador

The platform runs for any restaurant or bar. The tax module adapts to each country; the SRI one is already done.

Direct support

If something breaks mid-service, you don't open a ticket: you reach the person who built the system and runs it every night.
