Yidian

Yidian is a multi-tenant SaaS platform for end-to-end restaurant management, aimed at Barcelona and Europe, with a focus on Chinese restaurants, Asian fusion and mid-size chains. It covers the full cycle: the customer scans the table QR and orders, the kitchen sees it on screen, the waiter serves, the POS charges, the e-invoice is issued, the till is closed and everything feeds the analytics. It's a serious product — not a prototype: over a hundred endpoints, dozens of modules, 7 languages and even its own Android app for POS terminals.

The challenge

Restaurants — and Asian venues and chains in particular — usually run on a patchwork of disconnected tools: the POS on one side, bookings on another, inventory in spreadsheets and invoicing elsewhere, with nothing talking to each other. On top of that, in 2026 VeriFactu becomes mandatory in Spain. The goal: a single platform covering the whole restaurant, in each team's and each customer's language, and compliant from day one.

One platform for the whole restaurant

From the table QR to the cash close, everything happens inside the same system. The customer scans, sees the menu and orders without raising a hand; the kitchen receives the order on per-station displays (KDS) with urgency timers; the waiter runs the floor and the POS charges by cash, card, Bizum or split payment, with bill splitting and pinyin search — key for Chinese menus. Tables by zone, sessions, bookings with GDPR consent and a reconciled cash close, all connected and in real time.

Full control for the owner

The admin gets a real-time KPI dashboard — sales, average ticket, occupancy, alerts — and every lever of the business: a 7-language menu editor with AI auto-translation, daily set meals and buffet mode, inventory with recipes and cost breakdowns, procurement and suppliers, advanced analytics (time bands, product ABC, period-over-period comparisons), staff management with 6 permission levels, a full audit log of who did what, and multi-store management from a single account.

Built for Asian dining and for Europe

Yidian speaks 7 languages (including Catalan and Simplified Chinese) and ships with its own Android kiosk app for Chinese LANDI C20 Pro POS terminals — with built-in printer, drawer and scanner — plus its own LAN thermal-printing bridge, a WhatsApp agent and a PWA that keeps working with no internet. On compliance, it's ready for VeriFactu (mandatory in Spain in 2026), GDPR and per-country tax setup (Spain, Germany, France…).

Results

Yidian unifies into a single system what used to be five or six separate tools: fewer errors, less friction on the floor, full control for the owner and compliance handled. A serious, multi-restaurant, multi-country platform, ready to grow with the business.
