Suggested Selling
Sell add-ons exactly when the guest is choosing a dish
Sales Engine helps suggest add-ons, drinks, and sets right at the moment of ordering, where the purchase decision is already being made. This means the restaurant doesn't rely solely on the waiter's memory or manual menu promotions.
Moment of decision
Dish → suggestion → add-on
Selects products to promote
The restaurant defines add-ons, drinks, and sets worth showing alongside specific dishes or categories.
Shows suggestion at the right moment
The proposal appears right when the guest or waiter is placing the order and making decisions.
Sees a matching proposal
The suggestion might be a sauce, drink, dessert, a larger set, or another relevant add-on tailored to the item.
Where a restaurant loses add-on sales
The problem usually isn't that guests don't want add-ons. Often they don't see them at the right time, or the team lacks the time to offer them consistently.
Add-ons are hidden in the menu
Sauces, drinks, desserts, or set upgrades are on the menu, but the guest has to search for them.
Waiters only remember suggestions sometimes
On a quiet day, suggestions happen more often. During a rush, the team focuses solely on taking orders quickly.
High-margin products lack exposure
The restaurant knows what should sell more, but there is no consistent spot where this proposal appears during the order.
Hard to know which suggestions work
Without data, it's difficult to tell a good proposal from an add-on that just takes up menu space.
How an add-on suggestion works during an order
The Sales Engine should support the moment of choice, not act like a pushy salesperson. First, you must specify what to offer and where it makes sense.

Order moves forward with add-ons
Once accepted, the add-on becomes part of the order and proceeds to the kitchen or bar.
Checks which suggestions to keep
Reports show which proposals are chosen and which ones need to be changed or disabled.
Before & After: team memory vs order suggestions
Which venues benefit most from Sales Engine
It works best where guests often add something to their dish, and the venue knows which products to highlight.
- pizzerias, burger joints, sushi, kebab shops, and cafes
- venues with add-ons, sauces, drinks, desserts, or sets
- restaurants using QR Menu, waiter panel, or online ordering
- places where the team rarely suggests high-margin products
When Sales Engine isn't the first priority
Suggestions won't fix a menu that lacks logical add-ons or organized variants.
- very short menus without add-ons or sets
- venues without organized products, variants, and prices
- fine dining, where suggestions should arise naturally from waiter interaction
- stages where organizing the basic order flow is more important
What to measure after deploying Sales Engine
It's not about promising a magical percentage increase. The module's value is seen when more orders include add-ons and suggestions help promote the right products.
Share of orders with an add-on
Check which dishes prompt guests to add a sauce, drink, dessert, or set more often.
Average basket value
Compare basket sizes across channels and shifts, without assuming every suggestion will raise the result.
Sales of promoted products
Observe whether high-margin products actually gain better exposure in the order flow.
Suggestion effectiveness per channel
Separate QR Menu, waiter panel, and online, as proposals may perform differently in each process.
How Sales Engine connects with sales and retention
Add-on suggestions make the most sense when they operate in channels where the guest is already ordering, and results feed back into reports.
QR Menu
Guests can see matching add-ons at the table, without waiting for a waiter to suggest them.
Waiter Panel
Waiters get consistent prompts during ordering, instead of relying solely on memory.
Coupons & Discounts
Suggestions can be combined with controlled promos, if the venue has a clear goal and limits.
Loyalty Program
Regulars return for rewards, and add-ons help build a better basket size in your own channel.
Reports and analytics
Reports show which suggestions are selected and where menu exposure should be adjusted.
