About this appAI proposal
Pass Board is a restaurant system that puts point of sale, table orders, the kitchen screen, stock counts and daily reports in one installable web app. Staff use it on the phones and tablets they already have.
It is made for independent owners and small chains who juggle a till, a payment tool, a kitchen display and a stock sheet that do not talk to each other. Orders flow from table to kitchen to report without re-typing.
The proposal is an open core: you can run it yourself or pay for hosting and support, and you can export your data at any time. That answers the lock-in and cost complaints that closed vendors attract.
- Tagline
- One open system for the whole restaurant, front to back.

- Why this name
- A pass is the shelf where kitchen hands plates to the floor. Pass Board names the meeting point of front and back of house.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- No loop in the product. Reach comes through sales, content and open-source community channels. Diners see receipts and QR table menus, but those carry little weight as a loop.
- Do they become customers?
- Diners cannot buy it; owners are the buyers. To test: whether owners who find the open project convert to paid hosting, and whether staff move between restaurants and bring it along.
- First customers
- Independent single-site restaurants and cafés with 5 to 20 staff whose owner is paying for several separate tools and is open to self-hosting or low-cost hosting.
- Where to reach them
- Open-source communities: Publish the core on GitHub and answer restaurant-tech threads and self-hosting forums with working demos.
- Local restaurant owners: Offer free setup to ten owners in one city in return for feedback and a case study.
- Hospitality groups online: Post short walkthroughs in owner groups on closing the day and counting stock.
- First milestone
- Five restaurants in one city running live service on it for a month, with three agreeing to pay for hosting.

RisksAI inference
- CommercialOwners rarely switch a working till. Self-hosting may attract tinkerers but not the owners who would pay, so the hosted tier may convert slowly.
- RegulatoryCard payments, tax receipts and fiscal printer rules differ by country. Compliance may limit which markets the first version can serve.
- TechnicalOffline sync with several devices editing the same order can conflict. Receipt printers and card readers need browser-compatible hardware.
- CommercialThe evidence is a single repository with 390 stars over 1105 days, which shows modest interest but not paying demand.
- PlatformPWAs have limited access to printers and USB or Bluetooth devices on some phones, which may require workarounds.
