Detailed Insights into LineTen’s Offerings
Comprehensive Restaurant Management
LineTen provides a cloud-based platform that integrates online ordering, delivery management, and in-store solutions into a single, cohesive system. This all-in-one approach helps restaurants streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance customer experiences. By offering tools like self-service kiosks and QR code ordering, LineTen addresses the needs of modern restaurants, from fast-casual to fine dining.
​
Zero-Commission Direct Ordering
One of LineTen’s standout features is its zero-commission direct ordering system. Unlike third-party platforms that charge high fees, LineTen allows restaurants to take orders directly through their own branded website or app. This not only saves money - potentially $45,000 per store annually, as seen with our clients - but also strengthens brand identity and customer loyalty. For example, Good Earth leveraged LineTen’s NOQU Online and POS Bridge to build a branded platform, avoiding marketplace fees and improving profitability.
Delivery Management Excellence
LineTen’s Delivery Manager connects restaurants to a global network of delivery providers, offering real-time tracking and analytics to optimize logistics. This ensures faster deliveries and lower costs, which is critical for maintaining customer satisfaction in a competitive market. The platform’s ability to integrate with providers like DHL and Stuart makes it a versatile solution for restaurants worldwide.
In-Store Innovations
LineTen’s in-store solutions, such as self-service kiosks and QR code ordering, are designed to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. Kiosks reduce wait times by allowing customers to place orders independently, while QR code ordering offers a contactless dining option that’s both convenient and modern. These tools are particularly effective during peak hours, helping restaurants manage high order volumes without overwhelming staff.
​
MDM / Device Management
In today’s bustling restaurants, self-service kiosks, tablets and payment terminals keep queues moving - until a device conks out and everything screeches to a halt. LineTen’s Device Management software watches over every critical gadget, spotting faults before they escalate into chaos. That way, your operations stay seamless and your customers never miss a beat.
​
Seamless Integrations

​
Security and Scalability
Security is a top priority for LineTen, with ISO 27001 certification and Google Certified enterprise performance ensuring robust data protection. The platform’s scalability is another key advantage, supporting over 3 million transactions monthly across 25+ countries. Whether you’re a single-location restaurant or a global brand, LineTen adapts to your needs.
​
Competitive Positioning
Compared to competitors like Storekit, Olo, and Deliverect, LineTen offers a more holistic solution. Storekit focuses on QR code ordering and digital menus, primarily for small to medium businesses, while Olo targets large chains with extensive integrations. Deliverect excels in delivery platform integration but lacks the in-store solutions that LineTen provides. LineTen’s zero-commission model and comprehensive feature set make it a compelling choice for restaurants seeking a complete technology solution.
​
Real-World Impact
LineTen’s impact is evident in its partnerships with major brands and small businesses alike. For instance, Good Earth used LineTen to create a branded online platform, reducing reliance on third-party marketplaces and improving cash flow.
