SterkChef

What SterkChef is

SterkChef is a restaurant operating system that combines point of sale, kitchen display, self-service kiosk, waiter and courier apps, QR ordering and backoffice tools. Dine-in, takeaway, online and QR orders enter a shared queue for the kitchen. Stock controls can remove unavailable dishes from the menu, while cold-chain monitoring can alert staff if a fridge warms up. The menu supports seven languages and different price bands for the same dish. Its settings list integrations including Stripe, Adyen, Mollie, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Takeaway, Edenred, Sodexo, Pluxee, Peppol and signed webhooks. SterkChef says orders, kitchen tickets and receipt printing continue over a local network during an internet outage, with data syncing after the connection returns. Built-in fiscal support is listed for Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Türkiye. The product runs on Android, iOS, Linux, web and Windows, and supports hybrid deployment. The site says the median time from signup to trading is one day, with the menu, prices, table plan and tax profile preloaded. A single-venue plan includes all ten modules and the Mini-POS terminal app, with monthly cancellation and no setup fee. Pricing is on request; a 30-minute demo is free.

SterkChef is aimed at restaurants needing ordering, kitchen, stock and backoffice tools in one operating system. Its Mini-POS terminal app is also presented for food trucks and cafés.

Verdict

Consider SterkChef if your restaurant needs POS, kitchen workflows, ordering channels and backoffice in a shared system, including local operation during an internet outage. The Single venue plan includes all ten modules and monthly cancellation, but its price requires a request. Restaurants outside the listed fiscal support countries should confirm their requirements with SterkChef.
