Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most about the products, setup, apps, data protection and support. If you cannot find your answer, write to [email protected].

General

Which products does Avdena offer?

There are three products: Avdena Guest for digital guest experience and QR content management, Avdena Menu for a QR menu that takes orders without payment, and Avdena Ops AI for technical service, inventory and periodic maintenance. Our team in Ankara develops and supports all of them.

Can we use the products separately?

Yes. Each product works on its own. You start with what you need and add the others later.

Why are prices not on the site?

The quote is prepared based on the product, the number of locations and the areas you want to use. Fill in the quote form or write to [email protected].

Who does the setup?

We do the setup with your brand and content. Your panel accounts are opened, and who sees what is defined per user.

Which languages does the panel support?

Turkish, English, Russian and German. Guest pages are also available in Arabic in addition to these.

Avdena Guest

Is Avdena Guest a QR menu service?

No. Avdena Guest is a platform that manages all of a hotel's QR touchpoints, across multiple locations, from a single panel. Our separate product for a digital menu that takes orders is Avdena Menu.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Pages open in the browser. If they want, guests add the hub to their phone's home screen, without going to an app store.

Can we change the content after printing?

With dynamic codes, yes: the printed code stays the same and the content changes from the panel. Static codes such as WiFi, vCard and plain text carry their content inside, so a change needs a new code.

What happens if we delete a QR by mistake?

A deleted code goes to a central trash and stays there indefinitely. You restore it with one click, and the printed code works again. To delete it permanently, you must confirm by typing the code's name.

Our menu is with another provider. Do we need to change it?

No. Restaurant QR links your existing menu (a PDF or a link) to a fixed code. The code on the table stays the same even if your provider changes.

Do guest pages carry our brand?

Yes. Your logo, your colors and your own domain are used. A small "Powered by Avdena" note appears at the bottom of the page.

Avdena Menu and the waiter app

Does Avdena Menu take payments?

No. Orders go to the printer and the panel, and payment stays in your existing setup, such as a room charge or the register.

Which printers does it work with?

ESC/POS thermal printers. Items are routed to stations, tickets are printed in two languages, and cancellations appear in a separate section.

In which languages do guests see the menu?

Turkish, English, Russian, German and Arabic. The texts you enter are translated automatically, and you can correct them by hand if you wish.

How does the waiter call work?

Guests call a waiter from the menu with one tap. The call goes to the board of an online waiter assigned to that restaurant. If no waiter is online, the button is hidden.

Do we need to buy hardware for the waiter app?

No. Waiters install the app on their own phones. No handheld terminal is needed.

Avdena Ops AI

Is Avdena Ops AI a work order or stock system?

No. Ops AI does not keep work orders, stock, spare parts or a maintenance budget. It focuses on inventory, maintenance records and technical service documents.

What does AI read?

Service company maintenance forms, in-house maintenance forms and device nameplates. The information it reads is entered into the record of the relevant product.

Are records lost where there is no signal?

No. Records and photos are stored encrypted on the phone and sent when a connection returns.

What does energy cost cover?

Electricity consumption only. It is calculated from the installed power and operating schedule of the products. There is no meter reading, billing, or water and natural gas tracking.

Apps and installation

Where do we download the waiter and panel apps?

From the Apps page. The APK downloads directly from us, and Google Play is not needed. A single APK works in all hotels and locations; your login details take you to the place you are authorized for.

We use iPhone. What should we do?

The iOS app is being prepared. Meanwhile, you can sign in from Safari and use it as a shortcut with "Add to Home Screen".

Which platform is the Ops AI technician app on?

It runs on Android and updates itself. To install it, write to [email protected].

Can anyone use the apps?

No. The apps are only for the staff of businesses that are Avdena customers.

KVKK and security

Who is the data controller for guest data?

The business that uses our products. AVDENA BİLİŞİM processes this data on behalf of the business, as the data processor. For details, see the privacy notice (KVKK).

Is there cookie consent on guest pages?

Yes. Guest pages come with a cookie consent notice and a privacy notice. Access is logged in line with Law No. 5651.

How is data protected?

Sensitive keys are stored encrypted with AES-256, and guest content is sanitized before it is displayed. Panel accounts use two-step sign-in with an authenticator app and backup codes.

Can we open a page only to certain people?

Yes. With an encrypted QR, the page is placed behind a password. Only people who know the password see the content.

Quotes and support

Who should we write to for a quote?
