EatExpress

Project Overview

EatExpress is a self-service ordering and expresskassa solution developed through ViralConvert AB as part of the work of Edris Parsay in restaurant technology. The product enables restaurants to offer kiosk ordering and customer-facing ordering flows — allowing guests to order at a self-service terminal without waiting for counter staff.

EatExpress is designed to integrate with EatPOS, creating a connected flow where kiosk orders arrive directly in the restaurant's POS system alongside counter orders. This unified order management — regardless of how the order was placed — is central to the product's operational value.

Problem Area

Counter-service and quick-service restaurants face a consistent operational challenge: managing order volume efficiently during peak periods. When lunchtime demand spikes, the bottleneck is typically the counter — customers queuing to order, staff stretched across order-taking and preparation, accuracy under pressure.

An expresskassa approach addresses this directly. When customers place their own orders at a self-service terminal, the counter queue shrinks, staff can focus on preparation rather than order-taking, and order accuracy improves because the customer enters their own order without verbal interpretation risk.

EatExpress solves this with a practical, integrated solution — not a standalone kiosk that creates a parallel operational track, but a connected self-service ordering layer that feeds into the same POS system as all other channels.

Technology and Capabilities

EatExpress provides restaurants with a self-service ordering experience that can be deployed quickly and managed without technical expertise. Key capabilities include:

• Kiosk ordering — customer-facing self-service terminals with integrated payment
• Expresskassa flow — fast, guided ordering designed for high-throughput service periods
• Direct integration with EatPOS — kiosk orders flow directly into the POS kitchen display
• Menu management synced with the POS — one update, reflected at every terminal
• Integrated payment processing at the kiosk — no separate payment step required
• Smart upsell flows built into the customer-facing ordering interface
• QR code ordering as a lighter alternative for table-service or smaller venues

Connection to Edris Parsay

EatExpress reflects an important dimension of Edris Parsay's work in restaurant technology: the conviction that independent operators should have access to the same self-service and kiosk ordering capabilities that large chains invest in. The product is designed to make expresskassa and kiosk ordering accessible without enterprise-level investment or complexity.
