Everything Built to Grow Restaurant Revenue

From AI menu digitization to automated kitchen coordination and tax compliance, discover how Mint Light transforms every touchpoint of your operations.

Snap a Photo, Get a Menu (Zero Manual Data Entry)

Send us a photo or PDF of your paper menu and our AI builds your digital menu for you. No typing needed. Our proprietary OCR reads dish names, prices, descriptions, dietary info — even suggests allergens. You review it, make tweaks, and publish. What used to take a weekend takes 10 minutes.

Snap, review, done. Your menu goes live with professional photos, smart descriptions, and proper categories — all generated automatically.

A Digital Menu That Actually Sells — Build Once, Serve Everywhere

Your menu is not just a list — it is a sales machine. Customers browse on their phones, filter by diet preference, see real-time availability, and order right from the table. No waiting for a waiter. No misheard orders. Every dish has photos, descriptions, and smart upsells built in.

Change a price? Mark a dish sold out? Add a seasonal special? It updates everywhere instantly — your QR menu, website, and POS all sync in real time.

Aura AI — Your Smartest Waiter (Never Calls in Sick)

Meet Aura, the AI assistant that lives on your menu page 24/7. Fluent in 190+ languages (almost every language on earth!), Aura answers ingredient questions, manages guest budgets, recommends chef specials, and builds complete carts with smart item bundling.

190+ LanguagesEnglishHindiHinglishMandarinMalayTamilSpanishArabic

Aura knows your signature dishes, chef pairings, and portion options. Works every hour of every day, handles unlimited customers at once, and drives +28% to 40% higher average order value.

Real-Time Kitchen Display — No More Paper Tickets

Orders hit the kitchen screen the second a customer places them. Chefs see what to cook, what is pending, and what is ready — with color-coded timers so nothing gets forgotten. Sound alerts notify the team when new orders arrive.

No more paper chits flying around. No more “we didn't see that order.” The kitchen, front-of-house, and cashier all see the same thing in real time.

Inventory That Tracks Itself

Set up your recipes once — when Butter Chicken sells, Mint Light automatically deducts 200g chicken, 50ml cream, and 20g spices from your stock. That is it. No manual counting. No end-of-month surprises.

Always know what is running low, what is being wasted, and what is costing you too much. Track wastage, staff meals, and damage with simple categorized reasons.

Inventory Depletion FAQ

How does it work?

You tell the system what goes into each dish. When it sells, ingredients are deducted automatically. Simple recipe math, handled for you.

Can I track wastage?

Yes. Log wastage, staff meals, damage, or corrections with one click. You will see exactly where your inventory goes.

Do I need to count stock manually?

Only when new stock arrives. After that, the system handles deductions based on what you sell.

Discounts, Coupons & Loyalty — Keep Customers Coming Back

Run dish-level sales, create coupon codes with minimum order amounts and expiry dates, or set up a loyalty program where customers earn points on every purchase and redeem for rewards.

All three work together: a customer can use a coupon, earn loyalty points, and see a dish discount — all in one order. Zero manual math needed.

Staff Portals — Everyone Gets Their Own Login

Waiters take orders on their phones. Kitchen teams see orders on the display. Managers have full access to reports, inventory, and controls. Everyone sees exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less.

See who is online, track performance, and pause or remove access anytime. No shared logins. Clean, simple, secure.

Billing for 6 Countries — Handled Automatically

India GST, UK VAT, Australia GST, US sales tax, Singapore GST — Mint Light generates compliant invoices for all of them. Tax rates, split calculations, HSN codes, receipt formats — all built in and automatic.

Accept payments via Cash, Card, Dynamic UPI QR, Stripe, or Razorpay. Split bills, apply discounts, and print receipts from one unified screen.
