How it works

Inside Sinqro: the operating layer for restaurant channels and data.

Sinqro sits between the channels a restaurant sells through and the systems that run the operation. Channels feed orders in; the POS executes them; back-office systems receive the resulting data. Sinqro orchestrates that flow without the team typing the same order three times.

Demand Glovo · Uber Eats · Just Eat · Deliveroo · Direct ordering · Table QR · Kiosks · Takeaway
Channel layer Sinqro Order Hub — unified inbox, menu publishing, channel availability, modifiers, status return
Execution Restaurant POS · Kitchen display · Work App · Rider App
Data layer Sinqro Data Sync — POS sales, marketplace settlements, modifiers, stock movements, channel attribution
Back office Holded · Sage · A3 · Stock platform · BI / Looker / Metabase · Analytics
Operations control Sinqro Dashboard — multi-venue back-office; Automations — operational rules; Analytics — forecast and signals
Step by step

From channel to back office, in six steps.

  1. 01

    An order arrives from a channel

    A customer places an order on Glovo, Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo, the restaurant's direct site, a QR menu, or a kiosk. The marketplace or direct platform delivers the order payload to Sinqro through a connector — product list, modifiers, special requests, channel, order type (delivery / pickup / dine-in), customer details, and the price the channel charged. The connector is bidirectional: it also listens for menu updates, channel-pause commands, and status returns.

  2. 02

    Order Hub centralizes and resolves it

    Order Hub takes the inbound order, resolves the menu mapping (channel product → POS product), normalizes modifiers, applies channel-specific pricing rules, and places it in the unified inbox. The Work App shows it to the team on the floor, color-coded by channel and labeled with type, status, prep timer, customer name, and total. The team accepts, edits, or rejects it from a single screen.

  3. 03

    Order Hub hands off to the POS

    Once accepted, Order Hub pushes the order into the restaurant POS (Revo, Square, ICG, Agora, Lightspeed, Hosteltáctil, or another supported system) as if a member of the team had typed it. The POS prints to the right station, fires to the kitchen, and tracks the ticket exactly as it would for a counter order. Status changes in the POS (preparing, ready, dispatched) flow back to Order Hub and the originating channel so the marketplace UI shows the right state to the customer and the courier.

  4. 04

    Data Sync moves the data downstream

    When the ticket closes, Data Sync collects the final POS record, the marketplace settlement metadata, the payment method, the channel attribution, and the modifiers — and routes them downstream. Sales totals and tax breakdowns land in accounting (Holded, Sage, A3, Quaderno). Stock movements update the stock platform. Channel-attributed sales feed BI dashboards (Looker, Metabase, custom data warehouses) and analytics. Reconciliation becomes a derived check, not a manual closing-day task.

  5. 05

    Automations close the operational loops

    Sinqro Automations runs rules against the live data: pause Just Eat when the kitchen crosses a saturation threshold; mark a product sold-out across every channel when stock drops below a threshold; route orders to a specific kitchen station based on the modifier mix; alert the operations team when a marketplace channel produces an anomalous rejection rate. Automations are configured per venue or per brand and execute on the same connected data the rest of Sinqro uses.

  6. 06

    Dashboard runs the multi-venue picture

    Sinqro Dashboard is the back-office surface where operators configure accounts, venues, brands, integrations, billing, users, automations, and reporting. Multi-venue groups (chains, franchise networks, multi-brand operators, hotel groups) see every venue in one operational view and configure changes once for many. Work App and Rider App are the on-the-floor surfaces that the team uses during service — same data, different context.

Quick answers

How Sinqro behaves in practice

How long does a full Sinqro setup take?
A single venue with one channel and one POS goes live in 24-48 hours. Adding more channels and integrations is incremental from there. Multi-venue groups depend on POS coverage and channel count, but the typical full rollout is 1-4 weeks.
Does Sinqro work in real time or in batches?
Order intake and POS handoff are real-time, in seconds. Status returns are real-time. Data Sync to accounting and BI runs in the cadence each destination prefers — most commonly real-time for stock and BI, end-of-day for accounting.
What happens if a marketplace API is down?
The connector retries automatically and queues the affected events. The Work App surfaces the failure so the team can switch the affected channel to manual mode while it is being restored. Other channels keep running normally.
