How it works

Any Device Becomes a POS Terminal

Log in from any device

Staff sign into the RestroManage dashboard from a phone, tablet, or laptop browser — nothing to install, nothing to configure per device.

Take orders in real time

Ring up dine-in, takeaway, or counter orders. Every ticket routes straight to the kitchen display the instant it's placed.

Accept payments securely

Stripe powers card-present and card-not-present payments, including tap-to-pay via Stripe Terminal, with PCI-compliant processing. Already have a card machine? Connect it via ECR integration and keep using it.

Manage staff with RBAC

Create scoped roles for owner, manager, cashier, waiter, and kitchen — each seeing only what their job requires.

In practice

A Live Shift, Step by Step

No coworker fumbling with a $1,500 terminal or a manual that lives on a shelf. This is what a service actually looks like.

  1. 1

    Seat and open the table

    A server opens a dine-in ticket against your floor plan from a phone — tables flip automatically, so no one is walking the room triaging who's free.

  2. 2

    Ring the order on any device

    Items, modifiers, and split bills are rung up on whatever device the server is already holding. The ticket fires to the kitchen display the instant it's saved.

  3. 3

    Kitchen fires on the KDS

    Tickets appear in cooking order with run times and course timing. The kitchen taps through them instead of losing paper dockets under the pass.

  4. 4

    Settle how the guest wants

    Pay by tap-to-pay via Stripe Terminal, scan-to-pay with a QR code, or a card machine you already own through ECR integration — every payment lands on the same order and the same report.

  5. 5

    Close the shift and see the numbers

    End-of-day reports reconcile every channel — dine-in, takeaway, online, QR — into one set of sales and payment totals with no spreadsheet paste-up.

Setups

One POS, Every Type of Service

Because it runs in a browser with no fixed terminal, the same platform works for very different businesses.

Cafés & coffee shops

Line up counter orders at speed, split dine-in from takeaway, and let guests scan a QR card on the table to order the next round without queueing.

Full-service dining rooms

Open tickets against the floor plan, send courses to the kitchen in order, split bills however the table asks, and run cards on the guest's side of the pass.

QSR & fast-casual

Ring orders as guests reach the front, parse pickup vs delivery, and push everything to a kitchen display built to survive the rush.

Bars & pubs

Open a tab, pour drinks, settle at the bar or the table, and close a night shift that accounts for every pour from opening until last call.

POS FAQ

Restaurant POS Questions, Answered

Straight answers to the questions restaurant owners ask most before switching POS systems.

What is a POS system for restaurants?+
A restaurant point-of-sale (POS) system is the software staff use to take orders, process payments, send tickets to the kitchen, and track sales. Traditional restaurant POS systems require dedicated terminals; RestroManage's POS runs in a web browser on any phone, tablet, or computer instead.
Do I need to buy special hardware to run RestroManage as my POS?+
No. RestroManage's POS runs entirely in a browser, so any phone, tablet, or laptop your staff already carry works as a terminal. Optional accessories like a tablet stand, cash drawer, or thermal receipt printer can be added later if you want them, but none are required to start taking orders.
How much does a restaurant POS system usually cost, and how is RestroManage different?+
Traditional restaurant POS systems often charge $1,200–$1,500 per terminal upfront, plus $50–$150 per month in software and processing fees. RestroManage charges a flat per-location monthly fee with a free trial of up to 6 months, no card required, and zero hardware to purchase since it runs on devices you already own.
Can RestroManage POS handle dine-in, takeaway, and counter orders at the same time?+
Yes. Staff can open dine-in tickets against your floor plan, ring up walk-in takeaway orders, and manage counter service simultaneously, with every order — regardless of channel — appearing on the same kitchen display in real time.
Does the POS work if my internet connection drops?+
RestroManage is a cloud-based POS and requires an internet connection to sync orders in real time, the same as most modern restaurant POS platforms. A stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is recommended for continuous service.
Can I switch from my current POS to RestroManage without losing my menu?+
Yes. Our onboarding team helps import your existing menu, categories, and pricing so you can move over without rebuilding everything from scratch. Most restaurants are taking live orders within a day.
Can I use my own card machine instead of Stripe Terminal?+
Yes. RestroManage supports ECR (Electronic Cash Register) integration, so you can connect an external card machine or payment device you already own directly to the POS instead of switching to Stripe Terminal. Card payments taken on your own device sync straight into the same order and reporting flow.
