Cibuscibus.
For independent operators

Run your restaurant without stitching five systems together.

Cibus gives independent restaurants one connected platform for POS, QR ordering, kitchen tickets, payments, staff, reporting, online ordering and customer growth — so every shift runs from the same menu, order and payment record.

Built for cafés, takeaways, casual dining, ghost kitchens and single-site hospitality businesses.

The patchwork problem

Independent restaurants are running modern service on disconnected tools.

An independent restaurant can rely on several tools that do not share an order or customer context. The seams appear in reconciliation, customer records and reporting.

POS in one place
QR ordering somewhere else
Kitchen tickets on paper or another app
Payments and receipts disconnected
Staff operations handled manually
Reports exported to spreadsheets
Marketing tools disconnected from order history
Delivery and online ordering governed by third-party terms
Before / after

From patchwork to one operating layer.

Same shift. Same orders. Same payments. A different shape underneath.

Owner outcomes

Built around the realities of independent operators.

What changes when service, payments, staff and growth use connected records, shared identifiers and supported events.

Connected service hand-offs
Floor, kitchen and till use the same order context.
Order-linked payment records
Supported receipts and payment records remain tied to the relevant order.
Connected reconciliation
End-of-day reporting uses payment, order, refund and float records from the same platform.
Shared service visibility
Owners can review active orders, kitchen queue and supported payment state together.
Governed customer context
Order history, consent and segment access follow the applicable restaurant role, contract and privacy responsibilities.
Connected menu and staff management
Supported product surfaces use the configured menu, staff and role context.
Growth tools connected to real order history
Storefront, Reach and Stories run from operational data.
Direct customer relationship

Add a direct channel alongside third-party routes.

Storefront, Reach and Stories connect direct ordering, campaign preparation and content drafts to the restaurant's menu and supported customer context. Access to order history, consent and segments follows the restaurant's contract, role scope and data-protection responsibilities.

Cibus is a B2B restaurant operating system — not a consumer marketplace.
