New here? See how VistaIQ works, step by step
Its own icon, full screen, works without signal, and alerts. Nothing to download from a store.
Then open VistaIQ from your home screen. Alerts only work from there.
On your phone, open this page in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone) and the install option appears here.
For an account you already have: your existing email, a new password twice, and the new code from your owner.
One tap, no password, made-up numbers. A demo profile is never kept signed in: close the app and you are out.
By using VistaIQ you accept the terms and privacy notice.
How busy each of the next seven days should be, from your own past sales, the weather and the calendar. Below it, what to order so you don't run out.
The restaurant made a profit. This shows what then left the business: money you took out, loan repayments, tax. What is left is what stayed in the business.
The month-end statement each supplier sends. Upload it and we check every line against your invoices and payments.
PDF, photo or CSV. Every line is checked against your invoices, credit notes and bank payments.
Your sales come from the till's export. Upload one file once; we learn the layout and read it from then on.
Any CSV your till exports. We work out which column is which; you confirm once.
Photograph every supplier invoice the day it arrives. We read it; you check and approve. Tap one below to see the picture.
Flat · whole page in frame · straight above · no shadow · long dockets in sections
When goods arrive, check them against the invoice. Tap "All arrived", or "Something's off" and mark what was short. The owner and manager are told about anything short.
Orders placed but not delivered yet. Confirming a delivery from that supplier ticks the order off; a late one becomes an exception.
The invoice person is told to chase the paperwork. Photograph the delivery note too if there is one.
A stock take is opened, every store is counted, then it is closed. Closing makes the report and tells the owner.
Photograph it and say what it is and how much, e.g. "calamari tubes 5 kg" or "gin, half a bottle". It is added and counted.
Upload the bank statement every week, the payroll after each pay run, and the delivery-platform statement when it comes. We match every line overnight.
PDF or CSV. Read and matched overnight.
The last six months and the next six. Tap a past month for its full profit and loss.
End of service in one place: the takings, the cash count, what is still open, and tomorrow.
Hours you plan per day beside the guests expected, and the wage share those hours mean. Pink is over what you aim for.
Rent, power, insurance, card fees, marketing and the rest: the costs that come whether you are busy or not. The weekly figure is last month's total spread by day.
Everything the owner needs before they open the app, entered by us. Each card saves on its own. Re-import a file any time; nothing is duplicated.
Reserve the restaurant code now and get the exact set-up command. The restaurant's own database and app are created by that command (it spends money, so it runs on purpose, not by itself).
What goes into each dish. Photograph recipe cards, upload a file, or type them in. Recipes give us the food cost of every dish and the stock each sale uses.
Log anything thrown away as it happens. It stops good stock looking like it went missing.
At close, count the cash in the drawer and type it in. We check it against what the till says and tell you what should reach the bank.
What you aim for, as a share of sales. Food cost 32% means R32 of every R100 sold goes on food. The weekly picture is judged against these.
Everything below its par level, grouped by supplier, as an email per supplier. Change quantities, drop lines, add a note, then send. The owners are on copy and each email becomes an expected delivery.
A function, a private party paid by EFT, a cash sale rung up nowhere. They are shown beside the till's sales, always marked as off-till, never mixed in. The owner's entries count at once; a manager's wait for the owner.
Who works here, which days they worked, what that costs, and how the tips are shared. Tap a day to mark it worked; tap again for a half day; a third tap clears it.
What should be on the shelf right now, store by store, and the items running low. Tap a low item to set its minimum.
Approved invoices with no payment in the bank yet. Tap an invoice to see the original picture.
Everything the week needs, and whether it is in. Tap a line to go and do it.
Where your own records don't add up. Every line is proven by the records behind it; tap one to see them.
Patterns the forecast sees in your sales: weather, days of the week, holidays. These are statistical, not proven facts; the proven ones are under Insights.
Every stock item and its settings. Tap one to set its minimum stock (we warn you and suggest an order when it drops below), its price, how it is counted, and which store it lives in.
Add a person, choose what they may do, and give them the code. Standard roles cover most jobs; tick boxes to make your own, and save it as a set to reuse.
Synthetic documents for the demo restaurant. Open one, save it to the phone, then upload it on the matching screen.
