The platform

One surface, from first menu item to first payout.

A typical week on Nordkestrel Dining: edit a modifier, see it live on the storefront, watch the order come through the kitchen board, see the payout the next morning. No handoffs, no syncs, no third-party apps in between.

  • Menu

    Set categories, items, modifiers, prices, taxes and availability from one editor. Toggle an item unavailable and it disappears from the storefront in seconds.

  • Storefront

    Every restaurant gets a branded site at name.nordkestrel.ca — or your own domain. Diners scan a QR at the table, browse, and pay, without downloading anything.

  • Kitchen

    Real-time order board. New, accepted, preparing, ready — swipe through the rush. Audio alerts when tickets come in. Prep times tracked so you know your actual throughput.

  • Sales

    Stripe Checkout for every order, connected to your account — payouts land in your bank, not ours. Revenue, order count, channel mix and product popularity in one dashboard.

  • Promotions

    Run a Mother’s Day discount, a happy-hour code, or a free add-on with any bowl over $18. Configure once, applied at checkout on every channel — storefront, QR, POS.

  • Mailing

    Send the reopening announcement, the new-menu tease, the holiday hours note. Drag-and-drop email editor with your brand pre-loaded. Sends through your own verified domain.

  • Site builder

    Pick a template tuned to the room — fine dining, cafe, pastry, food truck — and make it yours. Real typography, real photos, custom domain. No theme dropdowns or CMS duct tape.

Your brand

Your restaurant’s voice, not a template.

Diners should feel like they stepped into your room the moment the storefront loads. That means real typography, real images, real colour — not a checkbox theme picked from a dropdown.

  • Five design bundles — fine dining, cafe, pastry, food truck, general — each with its own type stack and rhythm.
  • Custom domain included. Diners land on yours, not ours.
  • Your hero image, your gallery, your words. We provide the structure, you provide the voice.
  • Diner experience works without an app. Scan a QR code, order, done.

“We were running Square for POS, Squarespace for the website, and a spreadsheet for kitchen tickets. Nordkestrel Dining collapsed all three. The kitchen board alone paid for the month.”
