The Problem
Inconsistent connectivity slows delivery of customer orders and limits quality of service

Low-latency sync between in-store devices is critical for selling food in a timely manner and delivering high-quality service. When one or more devices face connectivity problems, this often leads to long lines in-store and in the drive-thru which limits your ability to capture revenue at peak times.


THE SOLUTION
Peer-to-Peer and mesh technology enables low-latency sync no matter what

Your restaurant needs a consistently fast POS that can adapt to changes in environment and network status to ensure that orders are always delivered in a timely manner.

A POS embedded with the Ditto SDK can sync orders from an order-taker to the kitchen display even during periods of downtime or network strain. In-store devices maintain their own resilient networks and sync directly via peer-to-peer.

Customer Story
Chick-fil-A revamps their POS to be resilient in offline situations.

“Ditto moves key data quickly with no round trips to central services”

Ditto moves key operational data between restaurant team members quickly, seamlessly and with no round trips to central services. The more control and information we can put in the hands of operators and their teams, the better they can care for customers.

Speed up in-restaurant 
and drive-thru orders

Devices talk directly to bypass single points of failure that may cause slow sync, such as in-store servers, access points, or the cloud, enabling your devices to sync faster than ever before and with higher reliability.

server costs

Avoid trips to the cloud by syncing directly between local devices, cutting down on consumption costs. Reducing your restaurants' strain on local servers and Wi-Fi means you can deploy more in-store devices, tabletop, kitchen display, etc, without overtaxing your network.


Serve your customers everywhere

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a free demo account for Ditto. We also have demo apps that let you test pre-built Ditto apps.


Ditto automatically creates a network with your local devices using the best connection type among P2P Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and if it’s available local network.


In Ditto's implementation, conflicts are automatically resolved, merged, and synced across peers without the need for coordination or validation from a centralized authority. Learn more about Ditto’s CRDT.


Check out our pricing pages for information on Ditto Cloud Sync and Peer-to-peer Sync. Depending on your needs, you may need to speak with our sales team to discuss your project’s scope.


Ditto stores data in structured JSON-like document objects, similar to NoSQL.


Encrypted at the transport layer using version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Protocol (TLS), clients and servers are mutually authenticated prior to transmission of API and peer-to-peer access credentials. The use of mutually authenticated TLS (mTLS) mitigates potential risks posed by outside attackers attempting to masquerade as a valid API endpoint or peer in the mesh network to steal information.

Additionally, Ditto workloads and services are tightly controlled in a containerized Kubernetes environment.
