MealPe is a B2B cafeteria and canteen SaaS platform that gives food vendors and cafeteria operators a complete digital stack: a branded ordering app, cloud POS, kitchen display system (KDS), meal subscription engine, prepaid wallet, and real-time analytics dashboard — all in one login.
Unlike aggregator apps built for consumers, MealPe is built exclusively for the vendor side of the counter: the caterer running a 2,000-employee corporate cafeteria in Bengaluru, the mess contractor feeding a 500-bed hostel in Ahmedabad, or the operator managing 12 stalls in a Mumbai food court.
If you cook, serve, or manage food at scale — MealPe is your operating system.
Manual coupons, paper registers, and standalone billing machines cost Indian food vendors 8–12% of revenue in leakage, wastage, and reconciliation errors. Lunch-hour queues kill throughput. Vendors have no data on what sells, who eats, or when demand peaks.
MealPe replaces the entire patchwork — coupon books, Excel sheets, WhatsApp orders, legacy POS — with a single cloud platform that runs your canteen, cafeteria, mess, or food court end to end.
Employees, students, and residents order ahead from a branded app or QR code — pre-order, slot-based pickup, and table ordering eliminate queues and boost order volume by up to 30%.
Smart time slots flatten the 1 PM lunch spike so your kitchen prepares by demand, not by guesswork.
Customers track orders in real time; your counter runs itself.
Walk-ins scan, order, and pay — no download friction, no lost sales.
A cafeteria POS system that works on any Android device or desktop: billing, GST invoicing, split payments, UPI, cards, wallets, and cash — synced to the cloud in real time.
Run hostel mess plans, corporate meal subscriptions, and coliving food packages (breakfast–lunch–dinner cycles) with automated billing, 15-day or monthly cycles, attendance-linked consumption, and rebate handling.
One order, multiple stalls, automatic vendor-wise settlement. MealPe’s food court POS handles multi-brand carts, commission logic, and daily payout reports — the single hardest problem in food court operations, solved.
Issue closed-loop wallets and employer-sponsored meal credits. Companies subsidise; you settle transparently. Zero cash handling, zero leakage.
Orders flow straight to kitchen screens. Track raw material consumption, plate costs, and wastage — the difference between 8% and 18% margins.
Daily sales, item-wise performance, peak-hour heatmaps, subscriber churn, GST-ready reports — decisions backed by data, not instinct.
