Definition

What Is Restaurant POS Software?

Quick answer: restaurant POS software is a point-of-sale system used by restaurants to record orders, generate bills, manage menu items and taxes, process payments and produce operational reports. Depending on the configuration, it can also manage tables, send kitchen order tickets (KOT) to the kitchen, track inventory and work with POS hardware such as touch terminals, receipt printers and cash drawers.

A restaurant POS differs from general retail billing in how orders move. An order is taken for a table or a counter, the kitchen is told what to prepare through a KOT, and the bill is settled later, sometimes split between guests. BSD’s restaurant POS is built around that flow, and connects it to menus, taxes, stock and reports.

At a glance

Restaurant POS at a Glance

Restaurant billing

GST-compliant bills from a touch screen or keyboard, with split billing, discounts and non-chargeable (NC) bills.

KOT

Kitchen order tickets printed at the kitchen, and bar order tickets (BOT) at the bar where configured.

Table management

A table master, with orders and bills kept against each table, or direct counter sales without a table.

Menu & item management

Item and category masters with prices, used for billing and printing.

Tax management

A tax master applied to bills, for GST invoicing.

Customer management

A customer master, offers and discounts, and a loyalty programme where used.

Waiter / user management

A waiter master and user logins, so orders and bills can be linked to staff.

Inventory

Stock tracked alongside billing, with purchase management.

Reports

Sales, tax, user and stock reports at the outlet, and online where configured.

POS hardware

Touch POS terminals, receipt and KOT printers, cash drawers and more, supplied by BSD.

Cash / card payments

Cash, credit card and debit card sales, with multiple settlement types.

Smart card / cashless

Stored-value smart cards and NFC ordering for clubs, campuses and controlled venues, where required.

Billing

Restaurant Billing Software

At the billing counter, the cashier builds the bill from the item buttons, and the tax is applied from the tax master. The same system supports touch-screen and keyboard (non-touch) billing, so a busy counter can use whichever is faster.

  • Select items and quantities; prices come from the item master
  • Taxes applied automatically for GST-compliant invoices
  • Discounts and offers, where configured
  • Split a bill between guests
  • Non-chargeable (NC) bills for complimentary or staff orders
  • Settle by cash, credit card or debit card, or by smart card where used
  • Print the receipt; invoices can also be sent by SMS

For billing outside restaurants, see billing software.

Tables

Restaurant Table Management

For dine-in restaurants, tables are defined in a table master, and each order is kept against its table until the bill is settled. Quick-service counters can bill without tables at all.

Table identification

Each table has a number or name in the table master, defined to match your layout. Rooms can be defined in the same way for hotels and clubs.

Table-wise orders

Items ordered for a table accumulate against it, with KOTs sent to the kitchen as items are added.

Table-wise billing

The table’s running order becomes its bill, which can be split between guests.

Counter and take-away

Direct sales without a table, for quick billing counters and take-away.

Kitchen

KOT and Kitchen Order Management

BillingAt the counter

When an order is entered, a KOT is printed on the kitchen printer while the bill prints at the cashier’s printer. Bars can have a separate bar order ticket (BOT) so bar and kitchen orders stay apart. In larger solution designs, BSD has also used a tablet in the kitchen to update order status, and a kitchen display module showing orders as they arrive, where the project calls for it.

Staff

Waiter and Staff Operations

Waiters are defined in a waiter master, and orders and bills can be linked to the waiter or user who took them, where configured. Users log in with their own credentials, and access to screens can be controlled by role. In BSD solution designs, waiters take orders at the table on a tablet or NFC phone, and the order reaches the kitchen as a KOT without the waiter walking back to the counter.

Stock reportsWhat to reorder

Stock is tracked alongside billing, with purchase management, so you can see what has been sold and what needs reordering without a separate spreadsheet. Where a restaurant wants to track ingredients, a bill of materials (recipe) and inventory module has been offered as an optional add-on in BSD restaurant POS proposals, and is scoped per project. For stock control in depth, see restaurant inventory software and billing and inventory software.

Standard restaurant POS installations use cash and card. Smart card and cashless payment are a separate configuration, described next.

Cashless

Restaurant POS with Smart Card and Cashless Payments

BSD has built smart card and stored-value payment workflows for food-service venues where cash at every counter is impractical. These can be configured for suitable environments:

  • Cards issued, recharged, blocked and refunded at a counter
  • Sale amount deducted from the card at each outlet
  • Stewards take orders on NFC phones or tablets, with KOT in the kitchen and BOT at the bar
  • Member identification by card for club billing
  • Card payments at outlets that run another POS, through an integration with the card system
  • Daily, monthly and user-wise card sales reports
Suited to: clubs, institutional cafeterias, corporate dining, campuses, food courts, water parks and other member-based or controlled venues. For canteens and messes, see canteen management software; for food courts, see cashless food court solutions. Card technology is covered on our smart card solutions and cashless payment solutions pages.
Hardware

Restaurant POS Hardware

BSD supplies both the software and the compatible hardware for a restaurant counter, so the POS, printers and drawer work together from day one. Models are chosen when you order, based on current availability.

Touch POS terminal Receipt printer KOT / BOT printer Cash drawer Customer display Barcode scanner Smart card / NFC reader Tablets and handheld terminals Magnetic swipe card reader

For the full POS range, see restaurant POS hardware and software.

Identification

Barcode, RFID and NFC Integration

Barcode

Useful where a restaurant also sells packaged items, or in bakeries and sweet shops: items with a barcode or SKU are scanned at billing and tracked in stock. See barcode solutions.

RFID / NFC

Used to identify a customer or member and to take cashless payments from a card, and for waiter ordering on NFC phones. Not needed for ordinary restaurant billing.

Reports

Restaurant POS Reports

Sales reports

Daily and monthly sales, sales statistics, and item and category sales.

Transaction reports

Bills and transactions for the day, with day and shift closing where configured.

Tax reports

Tax collected on bills, for GST.

Inventory reports

Stock, purchases and what needs reordering.

Customer reports

Customer and loyalty information, where used.

User / outlet reports

Sales by user, and outlet-wise reports for multi-outlet or card-based setups.

Reports are viewed at the outlet, and online from a web back office where that option is taken. Additional reports can be developed to order.

Scale

Multi-Counter and Multi-Outlet Restaurant POS

BSD has provided POS for clubs running six or seven POS stations across restaurants, a bar, home delivery and bakery-style counters. Where the project architecture requires it, the POS can be configured for:

Several billing counters in one restaurantRestaurant, bar and retail counters in one propertySeveral restaurants with consolidated reports from a back officeLocal counters synchronising with a central database
Deployment

Offline, Online and Hybrid Deployment

Local

Desktop / local POS

The POS runs at the outlet with its own local database, so billing continues without the internet.

Online

Web back office

Sales and reports viewed online from a cloud back office, including consolidated reports across restaurants.

Hybrid

Local + sync

Counters bill locally and data is pushed to the central server when connected, or at the end of the day.

Which modules are available offline depends on the deployment. In offline-first designs, billing continues while online reports update once the connection returns.

Customisation

Custom Restaurant POS Software for Specific Business Workflows

BSD has developed customised POS software for restaurants, clubs, food courts and other outlets, from quick billing counters to multi-module restaurant systems with waiter tablets and kitchen displays. Customisation is subject to technical feasibility and project requirements, and can cover:

Billing workflowMenu structure and pricing rulesHardware integrationSmart card / NFCBarcodeInventoryReportsClub and member workflowsIntegration with existing systems
