Nooks Manager: the app for running your restaurant or café
Nooks Manager is the merchant's dashboard as a native app for iPhone, iPad and Android, built for the counter and for the owner's pocket.
The short answer
Nooks Manager lets a restaurant or café owner run the business from a phone or tablet: accept and prepare orders with an alarm for new ones, pause orders or set Busy mode in one tap, edit the menu, see today's sales by branch, and control loyalty, promo codes, push notifications and the app design. It is included with a Nooks restaurant or café app (SAR 199 per month for the first branch) and works in Arabic with full right-to-left support and in English. Sign-in only: you create your account and pay for your plan on nooks.space.
