Kaidou
What Kaidou is
Kaidou is a web-based restaurant operating platform for food and beverage businesses in the Philippines. It combines customer ordering, an admin portal, kitchen display, browser-based POS, and POS apps. Customers can scan a table QR code or place an online pickup order without a table, and the menu requires no app download. Payments include cash, GCash, Maya, cards, and QR Ph, with online checkout powered by PayMongo. Operations cover table and floor management, staff roles, live sales reports, and kitchen display workflows. Menu items can link to ingredients so sales deduct stock automatically, while low-stock alerts and supplier restock management support inventory work. Promo codes, points-per-peso loyalty, multilingual menus in English, Tagalog, and Cebuano, and configurable VAT, service charges, and Senior Citizen and PWD discount flows are included. The Free plan costs 0.00 PHP forever; Premium and Gold add broader ordering, inventory, analytics, integrations, branch management, onboarding, and support.
