Feature Catalog
A complete list of Zesty modules, what each one does, and how plans and permissions affect visibility.
Zesty is built from modules. During onboarding you pick a plan and review the feature catalog. The 14-day trial unlocks the modules of the plan you chose, so what you try during the trial is what you keep. After trial, you keep modules that your plan includes and that you left enabled in the catalog.
Core modules stay available on all plans: Dashboard, Standard menu, and Settings. Orders and Billing are central to most restaurants but depend on your sales workflow mode.
Core modules (always important)
Dashboard
Your home screen with live signals: open orders, payments, stock pressure, and attention items. Customize which widgets you see. Fixed shortcuts to New Order, Billing, KDS, and POS.
Orders
Create and manage dine-in, takeaway, and online orders. Includes order history, lifecycle actions, and links to kitchen and billing. Required for table service and QR flows.
Billing
Generate bills, apply tax and discounts, collect cash or UPI, handle split payments, print or share receipts, and process refunds. Requires Orders in the catalog.
Standard menu
Categories, items, prices, descriptions, food type labels, images, and availability. Powers staff screens, QR menus, KDS, and POS.
Settings
Organization profile, tax, payments, printers, staff, billing plan, features, branches, white-label, and launch guide.
Organization Settings is the guided administration surface for organization profile, locations, permissions, billing, privacy, and operational defaults. Owners and admins should confirm these settings before inviting staff or opening a production shift.
Operations modules
Kitchen Display (KDS)
Kitchen screen with columns for incoming, cooking, and ready orders. Staff move tickets forward so front of house knows when food is ready. Requires Orders.
Tables
Table records, QR code per table, and dine-in session context. Required for table-based QR ordering. Requires Orders.
POS
Counter register for paid sales without going through the full service-order path. Payment can be taken immediately, or the order left unpaid and settled later. Writes to the same reports as orders. Can run as the only sales path in POS only mode.
POS register · POS and imports
Inventory
Raw materials, recipes, stock movements, counts, transfers, suppliers, and purchase orders. Optional link from menu items to ingredients.
Customers
Customer directory by phone, visit history, loyalty points, and notes. Identity is scoped per restaurant organization.
Expenses
Record operating expenses: vendor, amount, category, date, payment method, and approval status.
Staff
Invite team members, assign roles, and manage permissions. Works with access logs and shift activity.
Alerts
Operational notifications such as low stock or data mismatches. Configure who receives them.
Administration
Administration covers platform governance, organization settings, access logs, capabilities, and audited support controls. Platform administration is a Standard-only surface.
Organizations
Organizations and locations are tenant-scoped. Organization Settings, branch assignments, and permissions are checked before a mutation is accepted.

Profit Advisor summarizes sales, margin coverage, payment exceptions, and recovery opportunities, and proposes changes through a preview → approve → execute → verify pipeline. Owner and admin only. See Owner Brief, Menu Profit, and Insight Canvas.
Growth modules
Analytics
Cross-functional reports: sales, payments, inventory, and operations. Requires accurate daily data entry.
Sales
Focused sales reporting through Insight Canvas: curated views for items, categories, channels, and time periods, with saved views. Requires Analytics.

Advanced modules
Premium menu
Extra menu controls for larger or multi-branch menus. Requires Standard menu.
Branches (Franchise)
Govern multiple outlets: branch profiles, feature overrides, and per-branch workspaces.
Staff PINs
Four-digit PINs so staff can identify themselves on a shared counter device without signing in and out. Set in People & Access. See POS register.
Navigation layouts
Per-Location control of the web nav bar order, what hides behind More, and the mobile dock default. See Navigation layouts.
Printers and devices
Bluetooth thermal printer pairing on Android, a Location print agent, and saved printers per device. See Printers and devices.

Custom brand colors, logos, and assets on web, mobile, and public ordering (eligible plans).
Access logs
Audited history of sensitive organization and staff actions.
Priority support
Faster support routing on eligible plans.
How modules depend on each other
Some modules need others to work:
| Module | Needs |
|---|---|
| Billing, KDS, Tables | Orders |
| Sales, AI Assistant | Analytics |
| Campaigns | Customers |
| Premium menu | Standard menu |
| Branches, White label, Access logs | Settings |
Disabling Orders also removes Billing, KDS, and Tables for that scope. See Sales workflow modes.
Who sees what
Three layers control visibility:
- Plan — what your subscription allows (see Plans and billing)
- Feature catalog — what the owner enabled in Settings → Features
- Permissions — what each staff role can open
A staff member may have a module on the plan but still not see it if their role lacks permission.
Changing modules after onboarding
Owners and admins open Settings → Features, adjust toggles, and save. Saving replaces the full feature snapshot and requires password or email verification. Disabling a module may hide dependent modules—review the impact before saving.
