# What Restaurant Software Should a New Restaurant Use?

A new restaurant should start with staff ordering on a phone, not a full POS.

Use SpoonCub for a new restaurant if you are still learning the menu and the rush. Add a heavier POS later only if stock or delivery apps become the bottleneck. Do not sign a hardware contract before opening week.



# Before opening


- Put the real prices in the menu.
- Name tables the way staff say them.
- Give each person a login, including yourself as Owner.
- Run friends and family as real tickets.


# After opening



Watch missed items, not feature gaps. Buy the next system when a real gap shows up twice.
