During a Saturday dinner rush, a restaurant POS has to keep working when the internet does not, send the right ticket to the right kitchen station and close a bill in seconds. Features are judged in that hour.
Billing and order taking
Speed and accuracy at the counter come first.
Tables and captains
For dine-in restaurants, the floor plan is the working screen.
Kitchen tickets and display
Orders must reach the right station immediately and in a form cooks can read at a glance.
A POS that stops when the internet drops will stop on your busiest night.
QR and online ordering
QR ordering reduces waiting and raises order value when it is quick. Online orders from aggregators should land in the same POS rather than on separate tablets.
Inventory and recipes
Food cost control depends on recipes mapped to stock.
Owners and chains
Owners want a daily summary on their phone: sales, payment modes, discounts, voids and top items. Chains need central menu and price control, outlet comparison and role-based access so that voids and discounts are traceable to a person.
