Restaurant Operations Platform — 2026Insights

Wox

One live system for the people who run restaurants and the people who supply them.

Wox is an end-to-end restaurant operations platform that unifies four surfaces — a POS terminal, a manager mobile app, an owner web dashboard, and a supplier portal — on a single .NET backend with realtime sync. What happens at the POS at 8:03 PM is reflected on the manager’s phone and the owner’s dashboard within a second.

Sync

Realtime (~1s via SignalR)

Challenge

Restaurant groups run on disconnected tools: a POS that doesn’t talk to inventory, manual stock counts, vendor orders over WhatsApp, and reporting stitched together in spreadsheets. Multi-location operators had no single source of truth across front-of-house, back-of-house, and procurement.

Solution

We built a single OpenAPI contract with three type-safe clients plus a separately authenticated supplier portal. SignalR hubs propagate live events for notifications, team chat, and vendor updates, so every client invalidates and re-fetches within ~1s. The POS runs on local SQLite for service continuity, the mobile app uses optimistic offline state for counts and receiving, and an AI assistant spans every surface to draft purchase orders, classify invoices, and surface anomalies.

Outcomes

  • Unified front-of-house, inventory, purchasing, and reporting on one realtime backend.
  • Connected operators and suppliers directly through a dedicated vendor portal with RFQs and price-sheet automation.
  • Gave multi-location operators a single realtime revenue view from the platform’s own POS.
