Practical features designed for real food businesses, without forcing your team into an enterprise POS system.
01
Does Hotna charge commission on restaurant food sales?
The starting Hotna Ordering package charges 0% restaurant percentage commission on food sales. A monthly subscription, online-payment processing costs and a separate customer Service fee on online card orders still apply.
02
Can I use my own restaurant domain?
Yes. Restaurants can use their own domain or a Hotna-hosted address, with the necessary domain setup and verification.
03
Do I need an Android tablet and printer?
The operating model uses an Android order receiver and a compatible 80mm Bluetooth ESC/POS printer. Check your specific hardware before relying on compatibility.
04
Is there a free trial?
No conventional free trial is included in the current launch package. Prospective restaurants can review the product and request a demonstration.
05
What is the customer Service fee?
On online card orders the customer Service fee is £0.49 up to £14.99, £0.99 from £15 to £29.99, £1.49 from £30 to £49.99 and £1.99 from £50 upwards, based on gross food subtotal before discounts and excluding delivery.
06
Can I accept collection and delivery orders at the same time?
Yes. Configure collection and delivery separately, including service availability and delivery eligibility. Customers select the method they need before checkout.
07
Can I take orders for tomorrow or later?
Hotna supports scheduled collection and delivery as well as ASAP ordering, subject to your configured opening hours, preparation lead time and scheduling horizon.
08
How does the kitchen know an online order has arrived?
The Android order receiver handles incoming orders, while the connected printer produces kitchen tickets on supported 80mm ESC/POS hardware. Hardware compatibility must be checked before use.
09
Is Hotna a complete restaurant POS and inventory system?
No. Hotna Ordering focuses on branded direct online ordering and restaurant order operations. It does not claim the inventory, accounting, staff scheduling or enterprise POS functions of a full EPOS suite.
10
Can I switch from GloriaFood?
Yes, by rebuilding and verifying your menu, services, payment setup and ordering links in Hotna. Automatic GloriaFood account, menu and customer-data import is not currently supported. See our dedicated GloriaFood migration guide.
