Mesalo is a waiter and kitchen app for places where the Wi-Fi is weak or missing. The phones of your team sync directly with each other over a phone hotspot or a local Wi-Fi. No hardware to buy, no server, no account, no paper slips.
Android now, iPhone and iPad coming. Free for small setups.
No POS terminals, no kitchen printers, no server in the back room. Mesalo runs on the phones your team already has and an old tablet for the kitchen.
Android phones of any brand – iPhone and iPad are coming. Mixed teams are fine.
That tablet in the drawer becomes the kitchen or bar display, or the pickup screen for takeaway guests.
Install the app, scan a QR code, done. A new helper for the festival weekend joins with their own phone.
Set up once, then every phone in your team knows what the others do – even when the internet is gone.
Name, currency, menu (type it in or import a spreadsheet) and your tables on a floor plan. Takes a few minutes.
Each phone scans a QR code, or you send an invitation by message. Roles: service, kitchen, counter, admin.
Open a hotspot on one phone or use any Wi-Fi – even one without internet. The phones find each other and stay in sync.
A waiter takes the order, the kitchen cooks, a colleague serves – all without internet.
Tap the table, pick the dishes, done. Seats, notes ("no onions"), options and diet tags are one tap away.
New tickets appear instantly, with waiting times and colours when something takes too long. Tap to start, tap when it's ready.
The pickup list shows every dish that is ready – filtered to your tables if you like. One person takes the order, whoever is free serves it.
Free, seated, ready, to clean – and how long guests have been there. Push tables together by dragging, move guests, hand a table over to a colleague.
A counter phone takes orders without a table and hands out pickup numbers. An old tablet facing the guests shows which numbers are ready.
Most order apps need the internet. Mesalo doesn't – the phones talk to each other directly.
Every tap is saved on the phone first. When a phone loses the connection, it catches up by itself.
Which devices are connected, what is still on its way, and ticks on every order when the kitchen has it.
A phone hotspot without SIM, a router without internet, or a direct connection by QR code.
Connections are encrypted with your venue's key; every entry is signed by the device that made it.
No cloud, no account. Menus and orders live only on your team's devices.
Mesalo shows the bill and helps split it, but guests pay at your own till. Nothing to certify.
Start free. A plan bought on the admin phone counts for every device of the venue. Try Pro M free for 30 days.
Prices in other currencies are set by Google Play for your country. Subscriptions can be cancelled any time in Google Play.
No. The phones connect over a phone hotspot or any local Wi-Fi, also one without internet. Only installing the app and buying a plan need the internet.
No. It doesn't take payments or print receipts. It shows the bill per table and helps split it; guests pay at your till or card terminal.
No. Mesalo runs on the phones your team already has and any old Android tablet for the kitchen. No POS terminals, printers or server.
Android phones and tablets now; iPhone and iPad are coming. Mixed teams are fine.
It keeps working. Orders are stored on the phone and sent as soon as it is back. Mesalo shows which devices are up to date.
