Every business is different. A restaurant doesn’t operate the same way a spa does, and a pharmacy has different needs than a retail shop. That’s why Qorelly adapts its language, layout, and features based on the type of business you run. You pick your business type when you first set up, and you can change it anytime in Settings > Business.

Supported business types

The classic setup. Everything you need to run a restaurant:
  • A menu with dishes organized into categories
  • A POS for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery orders
  • Tables and a floor plan so you know where everyone is sitting
  • Bookings so customers can reserve ahead of time
  • A kitchen workflow orders move from Pending to Preparing to Ready to Completed
In restaurant mode, your items are called “dishes”, your team includes “chefs” and “waiters”, and your branches are called “branches”.
Built around appointments and services:
  • Your offerings are called services instead of dishes
  • Bookings is the main feature, with time-slot scheduling
  • You can set up rooms for treatments
  • Your team includes therapists and stylists
When an order is being worked on, it says “being worked on” instead of “preparing” because that makes more sense for a spa.
Set up for over-the-counter sales and stock management:
  • Your items are called medicines
  • Inventory is front and center with reorder alerts and supplier tracking
  • The POS handles walk-in purchases
  • Customer profiles help you track purchase history
Order status says “processing” instead of “preparing”, and your team includes pharmacists.
For shops of all kinds:
  • Your items are called products and come with barcodes and SKU numbers
  • Inventory tracks what you have and when to restock
  • The POS supports barcode scanning for fast checkout
  • Customer management helps you build loyalty
Order status says “packing” instead of “preparing”, and your locations are called “stores”.
For hotels, lodges, and guest houses:
  • Manage your rooms and availability
  • Accept bookings and reservations — long stays included
  • Use the POS for room service and in-house purchases
  • Keep guest profiles for a personal touch
Subscriptions in hospitality are called Long Stays — perfect for extended-stay guests on a recurring rate.
For anything you rent out — vehicles, equipment, event gear, properties, costumes, and more:
  • Treat each rental as a booking with a start and end date
  • Track inventory by unit, including condition and availability
  • Take deposits and final payments through the POS
  • Keep customer profiles with full rental history
Subscriptions in rentals are called Recurring Rentals — useful for ongoing equipment leases or monthly contracts.
For photographers, DJs, consultants, coaches, tutors, event planners, freelancers, and creative studios:
  • Take bookings for shoots, sessions, gigs, or appointments
  • Send invoices for project work and retainers
  • Manage subscriptions for ongoing client relationships
  • Keep customer profiles with project history and notes

Changing your business type

If you need to switch:
  1. Go to Settings > Business
  2. Pick your new business type
  3. Everything updates to match the wording, the defaults, and the layout
Don’t worry changing your business type doesn’t delete anything. All your items, orders, and customers stay exactly where they are. Only the way things are labeled and displayed will change.
