You don’t need to understand blockchain to benefit from it. Ryori proves that smart tech can improve your dining experience in ways that are intuitive, fast, and rewarding, both for customers and businesses. And it all starts with a simple QR scan.

Digital transformation isn’t just for banks and big businesses anymore. It’s reaching places we visit every day, like our favorite local restaurants. Ryori is one of the few platforms pursuing this shift, proving that smart tech, intuitive design, and even blockchain can blend into your dining experience without any friction.

Instead of standing in line or waiting for a server, what if you could scan a code, place your order, and even earn rewards all from your phone? That’s what Ryori is doing. And while it sounds futuristic, it’s already being used by some parts of the world.

Born in Davao and built for small to mid-sized food businesses, Ryori is tackling common pain points with a combination of software simplicity and backend power.

What is Ryori?

Ryori is a digital solution built specifically to streamline and modernize the dining experience for restaurants, cafés, school canteens, and other food service businesses. Developed by Alttos Innovations Corp., Ryori offers a comprehensive business suite that integrates QR code ordering, AI-powered inventory, customer analytics, and blockchain technology.

The name "Ryori" is derived from the Japanese word for cuisine, inspired by the blend of innovation and tradition found in Japanese dining. It embodies both efficiency and a deep respect for the food industry.

How Does the Ryori Work?

At the heart of Ryori is a QR code ordering system that allows diners to scan a code and order directly from their phones. Orders go straight to the kitchen, removing the need for servers to take orders manually and reducing wait times significantly. This simple interface reduces friction for customers and increases table turnover for businesses.

On the backend, Ryori comes with a robust admin panel that includes:

• Ingredient-based inventory management: Business owners can track supplies in real time, down to individual ingredients.
• AI analytics: Reports track best-selling menu items, peak business hours, and customer behavior.
• Customer feedback integration: After ordering, customers are prompted to leave feedback, which restaurants can use to improve service quality.
• Remote access: Owners can manage multiple branches from anywhere.

For businesses with poor internet connections, Ryori is also working on an offline mode (currently under development) to ensure the app remains functional even without constant Wi-Fi.

How Does the Ryori Benefit the Ecosystem?

Ryori is not just a restaurant POS. It’s also a Web3 gateway, using blockchain tech to enhance customer engagement through its Eat2Earn system.

Through Ryori’s partnership with Solana and the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP Philippines), the app can reward customers who leave feedback with RYO tokens. These tokens are usable across all restaurants in the Ryori network and can be configured by restaurant owners as discounts or direct payment options. This ecosystem creates an incentive loop: customers are encouraged to participate in the feedback process, which in turn provides businesses with valuable data.

What makes this especially powerful is that customers don’t need to know how blockchain works. As the team explains, the experience feels just like using GCash or any other Web2 payment platform. Ryori’s wallet includes a field where customers can input their crypto wallet addresses. Those without one can follow Ryori’s upcoming onboarding videos to help them start their Web3 journey.

This mix of transparency, ease-of-use, and genuine benefit for both the business and the customer makes Ryori an ecosystem, not just an app. It’s helping usher in a new era where the local dining experience in places like Davao can be elevated using cutting-edge yet accessible technology.
