FAQ about the Restaurant App Builder
Can I build online ordering, reservations, and a menu with AI?
Yes—use Replit AI Agent to generate a full‑stack restaurant app from a plain‑English brief, then refine with the AI Assistant. It can scaffold menu management, online ordering, and table reservations workflows, including pickup and delivery options. You can add a QR menu page and make it mobile‑friendly or a PWA using React, with live preview and Visual Editor tweaks. Everything runs in one browser tab so you can iterate quickly and deploy when ready.
How do I accept payments, tips, and manage taxes?
Ask Agent to add Stripe or PayPal and it will wire up secure checkout flows, with secrets stored safely in Replit. Tips and tax rates can be handled in your checkout logic or configured in the payment provider’s dashboard, and you can add webhooks to record orders. Apple Pay and Google Pay are available through supported payment providers you integrate. PCI compliance is managed by those providers, while your app serves over HTTPS on Replit.
Can I integrate POS, delivery platforms, and notifications?
Replit apps can call any REST APIs, so you can integrate Square POS, Toast, DoorDash, or Uber Eats using their OAuth or API keys. Agent can auto‑set up SDKs and glue code for popular services like Twilio SMS, SendGrid email, and Google Maps. Store credentials in the built‑in Secrets manager and let the Assistant help with webhooks and sync jobs. You keep full code control, so custom flows are straightforward.
How do I manage users, staff roles, and loyalty programs?
Agent can add authentication via Google OAuth, Firebase Auth, or Replit Auth, then you implement RBAC and staff roles in your database models. Use profiles stored in Postgres or Replit Database, and have the Assistant scaffold endpoints and UIs for loyalty points and promo codes. If you prefer token‑based sessions (e.g., JWT), you can add them in your stack. Admin tools can be generated quickly and refined in the Visual Editor.
What’s the workflow to design the app UI and import from Figma?
Import from Figma to generate a React codebase with components and CSS that match your design, then iterate in the Replit Workspace. Use the Visual Editor to tweak text, images, and styles and ask the Assistant to make layouts responsive. Developers can extend components directly in code while non‑technical teammates make safe visual edits. Note: Replit isn’t a full drag‑and‑drop app builder—drag‑and‑drop is for refining UI, not complex logic.
How are data, orders, and inventory stored?
Ask Agent to provision a database and it will connect your app to managed PostgreSQL or Replit Database. Define your schema for orders, menu items, and inventory; the AI can help generate migrations and seeding scripts or import an existing schema. Automatic checkpoints capture app and database state so you can roll back if needed. You can add your own analytics and multi‑location logic at the application layer.
How fast can I deploy and set up a custom domain with HTTPS?
Deploy in minutes with one‑click cloud hosting, then attach a custom domain from the Deploy panel. Replit provisions HTTPS (SSL/TLS) automatically, and you manage DNS and environment variables in the same place. Use preview links for quick testing before promoting changes. No extra servers or setup required.
Can my team collaborate safely and roll back changes?
Collaborate in real time in the same workspace with built‑in version control. Every AI or manual change creates a checkpoint you can compare via diffs and roll back with one click. Use Assistant’s change previews for lightweight code review before applying edits. This lets teams experiment safely without risking production.
