True prime cost
Food, beverage and fully loaded labour as a share of sales, by week, month and financial year, against the same period last year and beside your Xero actuals.
Product · Start in the kitchen
Every job a restaurant has, on one record.
Food-safety records with no handwriting. Prep lists and supplier orders off the sales forecast. Food cost and waste as one weekly number. It reads the till you already run, and the rest of the venue is there when you want it.
What's actually shipped today

And the rest of the venue runs on it too
The kitchen is where we start, not where we stop.
Bookings, the floor, the phone, the books, the roster and payroll are all in NexDine. Turn on what your venue needs and leave the rest off.

Front of house
A floor your team can actually read.
Reservations, walk-ins, table state, and POS in one calm screen, and a branded customer site on your own domain, not a generic widget.

Drag tables, sections, and seats to match the room. Save layouts per service.
Live table state
Seated, ordered, paid, turned: colour-coded across every screen on the floor.
Reservations engine
Native booking flow on your own domain. Covers, deposits, holds, and waitlist on one timeline.

Branded customer site
Your domain, your fonts, your colours. Menu, bookings, and ordering, with no third-party widget look.
Back of house
The kitchen, on the same page.
Recipes, prep, and tickets that match how the line already works, and the waste logs the auditor will eventually ask about.

Costed and allergen-tagged. Every menu item ties back to ingredients on hand.
Prep sheets
Per-station prep lists generated from tonight's forecast and yesterday's actuals.

Menu profit studio
A suggested price for every dish from its recipe cost and your target, and a live matrix of what sells against what it earns.
Pair deals

Money
Closing the loop with your accountant.
Payments, reconciliation, payroll, and the obligations the ATO cares about, kept in sync with your books.

Onboarding
Bank, super, TFN, contract, and uniform sign-off in one checklist, completed before day one.
Role fit
Coming soonPut every team member where they shine. A short, consent-based assessment ranks the kitchen and floor roles that fit each person, with reasons. It is never the only basis for a decision: your manager decides and records why.
Certify and roster
Certifications register
RSA, RCG, food handling, first aid: tracked with expiry alerts at 30, 14, and 7 days.
Labour scheduling
Build rosters with shift assignment, clock-in punches, and timesheets in one place.
Shift briefs
Pre-service notes published for the team, acknowledged by each staff member before service.
Leave and pay
Leave management
Annual, sick, and unpaid leave with running balances and one-tap approvals.
Leave advisor
Approve leave knowing how busy that day really is. Balances accrue from timesheets, staff can request by email, and each request comes with advice on cover and demand. You decide.
Payroll
Award-aware pay runs from approved timesheets, with tip pools, payslips and an STP-ready export. Lodgement stays with your gateway or agent.
The paperwork around the kitchen, drafted and sorted.
The assistant drafts, sorts and reminds. It answers the phone, triages the inbox and writes the morning brief. It never files a food-safety record for you, and it never decides what the kitchen does.
Built on the platform · not bolted on
Every module reads the same database your POS, reservations, accounting and roster already write to. No second source of truth, no copy-paste.
Compliance
Records an inspector can read.
The binder you used to keep on the back office shelf, entered on a phone, dated, and exportable the day someone asks for it.
Temperature records
Fridge, freezer and hot-hold readings entered by your team, against the Food Standards Code limits. A reading outside them asks for a corrective action before it is filed.
HACCP register
HACCP plans and critical control points authored with versioning, staff member, and time. Exportable for inspections.
RSA / RCG register
Per-state liquor and gambling certification tracked with expiry flagging on each staff record.
Cleaning schedule
Daily, weekly, and deep-clean tasks logged against an audit trail, with signature sign-off and photo capture.
Donations & recovery
Log food rescue and donations with receipts, useful for both ESG reporting and your tax return.
Age verification
Quick ID checks logged with outcome and document type, linked to the transaction they belong to.
Food recall
Trace an affected supplier lot through recipes and prep batches to date-ranged sold orders, then resolve the event with a full audit trail.
Audit trail
All sensitive writes: by whom, when, with what payload. Append-only, exportable.
Built on the platform · not bolted on
One database. Same numbers everywhere.
Floor, kitchen, accountant, and AI all read and write the same rows. No copy-paste, no nightly export, no second source of truth.
POS sales become tonight's revenue and prime-cost the same minute they happen, ready for the books.
Bookings on your site update covers and the daily brief without a separate sync job.
An RSA expiry flags the staff record, raises a task for HR, and surfaces on the morning brief, all from one event.
It runs on top of the POS you already have.
Connect Square and NexDine imports the catalogue, maps your items, and reads each sale with its discounts, refunds and tips kept apart. GST comes across as Square recorded it, in Australian dollars. If you would rather take a till from us, NexDine has its own POS with Stripe and a Stripe Terminal reader.

Resend for transactional mail, MS Graph for inbound, Twilio for outbound SMS and inbound calls. Replaceable, swappable, vendor-neutral.
Most external systems sit behind one provider interface, so a vendor can be swapped without a rebuild.
