What It Is

inOrdine.cloud is a cloud-based reservation management system for hospitality and event-style bookings, launched by the Rome-based software company Quantos. The product offers iOS and Android apps as well as a web version, so users can manage reservations from a phone or computer with just an account, without buying dedicated hardware. Although the official site primarily focuses on restaurant use cases, the FAQ also notes that the “workstation” concept can be adapted to appointment-based businesses such as barbershops and beauty centers.

Core Features and User Experience

Its core functionality is reservation and table/workstation management. Businesses can create rooms, tables, or other service stations, and view in real time which ones are available, occupied, and how many slots remain. Each reservation has a status to track whether the customer has arrived, been seated, or released the seat. When reservations are entered, the system automatically builds a customer database, which can later be used for analysis or email marketing. It also provides statistics and reports to help monitor business trends. The Website license can also generate a personalized booking URL, allowing customers to make reservations through a form and preventing further bookings on fully booked dates.

Pricing and Support

The basic version is free and includes the main features, but it has a daily limit on the number of reservations. The Pro license removes the reservation limit, while the Website license provides an online booking link and form. The official site does not disclose specific pricing, only stating that paid licenses are subscription-based and can be canceled. For payments, iOS uses Apple Pay, Android uses Google Pay, and the web version supports bank transfer and PayPal. Free accounts receive email support on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00, while Pro accounts also get phone support.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are its low learning curve, usable free tier, multi-device cloud sync, and a table/reservation status model that fits real restaurant operations fairly well. The drawbacks are the lack of enterprise-level disclosure: there is no visible information about APIs, third-party integrations, granular permissions, auditing, backups, or GDPR compliance. Exact pricing is also not public, so buyers need to check inside the app or contact the company before purchasing.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for small and midsize restaurants, cafés, hair and beauty salons, and similar businesses that want a lightweight tool to replace paper or spreadsheet-based reservation management. For large chains or companies that need integration with POS, CRM, or membership systems, the available documentation is not enough to prove its scalability. In terms of access from China, the service is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, and payments rely on Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or bank transfer, so access and payment from mainland China may be partially limited. Alternatives to compare include OpenTable, TheFork, and SevenRooms; in China, options such as 美味不用等 and 客如云 may be worth considering.
