## FAQ

### How does KonobarAI work?
Restaurant owners register on konobarai.daqa.dev, set up their menu, generate QR codes for tables, and print them. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera, see the digital menu, and place orders. The restaurant receives real-time notifications.

### Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests use their regular phone browser. The platform is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on any modern smartphone without installation.

### What makes KonobarAI different from other QR ordering systems?
KonobarAI includes a built-in AI chatbot that helps guests navigate the menu, get personalized recommendations, and ask about ingredients or allergens — in 13 languages. It also includes full inventory management, analytics, and NFC waiter-call support.

### Is KonobarAI available in my language?
KonobarAI supports 13 languages including Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, English, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, and Portuguese. Both the admin interface and guest-facing menu adapt to the selected language.

### How much does KonobarAI cost?
Registration is free. You can set up your restaurant, add menu items, and start taking orders immediately. Contact us for enterprise pricing and custom features.

### Can I customize the QR codes?
Yes. KonobarAI includes a built-in QR Code Designer where you can customize dot shapes, colors, corner styles, and even embed your restaurant logo in the center of the QR code.

### Does KonobarAI work with NFC?
Yes. You can place NFC tags on tables so guests can tap to call a waiter instantly, without scanning anything.

### How does inventory tracking work?
You add your raw materials (ingredients) with quantities. Then you define "norms" (recipes) — how much of each ingredient is used per menu item. When orders come in, stock is automatically deducted. You get low-stock alerts when materials fall below minimum thresholds.
