Summary
What is the Hungry Panda Integration?
This integration allows Redcat customers in Australia, New Zealand and the UK to accept orders placed via Hungry Panda directly into their POS and kitchen management systems.
Orders from Hungry Panda are automatically injected into the Redcat POS in real-time, triggering kitchen printing and updating inventory and sales reporting without staff intervention.
This reduces wait times, improves order accuracy, and creates a seamless omnichannel experience.
Merchants can now manage third-party delivery orders alongside in-store and online orders — all in one system.
