One till

One till on terminal, tablet and phone

iVendNext POS is the same till for every industry, in the browser on the counter terminal, a tablet or a phone. A restaurant's screens switch on in the same app: a Table service switch for the floor and its checks, and a look for each kind of outlet, both being built. Staff learn one till, wherever they work.

Apps for your restaurant

Add what your outlet needs

Free apps from the App library, each with its own card and consent. Take the ones you need and leave the rest.

Restaurant back office

Recipes take your dishes' ingredients off stock with one press a day; allergens on the till and receipt; food cost by recipe against actual.

The till's age check at the scan of a bottle of wine, with the date of birth to check

Age-restricted sale check

For alcohol and tobacco: the till shows the date of birth to check at the scan, records the check on the sale, and refuses Pay without it.

Payment method rules

Delivery-platform orders paid by the platform's method, house accounts only for account guests. Other methods are dimmed at Pay, with your reason.

The page a customer opens after the visit: how was your visit today, with three answers

Post-sale feedback

Ask each guest how their visit was. Your message after the sale carries a link; the guest taps one of three answers, and you see the answers by outlet.

Being built: a kitchen display, reservations and the waitlist, guest ordering, and room charge. The library keeps growing, and anything else your partner or your own team can build with the iVendNext partner kit.

Hospitality POS questions

Restaurant POS software FAQs

Straight answers on the counter, the kitchen and offline selling.

What should a restaurant look for in POS software?

Fast ordering at the counter and the table, a service charge and tips handled the way your market expects, recipes and food cost in the back office, and a till that keeps selling when the internet drops. It should also connect to the accounting system you already use.

Can iVendNext keep selling during an internet outage?

Yes. The counter keeps selling dishes, with the service charge set on them, paid in cash or by card. When the connection returns, the cashier reviews the sales and posts them.

Does iVendNext handle tables and the kitchen?

Tables, open checks, seats and courses, kitchen tickets and a kitchen display are being built into iVendNext POS, behind a Table service switch. Today a café or quick-service counter runs on it, with recipes, allergens and food cost from the Restaurant back office app.
