02 / 11Capabilities

A POS designed for hotels, not retrofitted.

Charge to room is a first-class operation. Splits, voids, comps and house accounts behave the way the front desk expects them to.

  • 01

    Charge to room

    Search a guest by name, room or last 4 digits of the card. One tap and the charge is on their folio.

  • 02

    Splits & shared bills

    Split by item, by share or by amount. Settle a portion to room and the rest to a card, in a single check.

  • 03

    Modifiers & courses

    Custom modifiers, course timing, kitchen routing, allergen flags. Built for restaurants, not just retail.

  • 04

    Comps & voids with audit

    Manager approval on every void or comp, with a tamper-evident log every auditor will recognise.

  • 05

    Online or offline

    The POS keeps taking orders, printing checks and accepting payments with or without internet. Reconciles automatically when the network returns.

  • 06

    Inventory & 86s

    Track ingredients down to recipe level, mark items as 86’d in real time across every outlet.

Folio integration

The only POS that finishes its work at the front desk.

A spa charge, a poolside cocktail and a minibar restock all land on the same folio in seconds, with the right tax, the right cost centre, and a printable line.

Cross-platform

Run on whatever you already have. Keep running when the internet drops.

Native iPad for the busy outlets. Native Android tablet for the bar’s existing kit. Native Android phone for the server taking orders table-side. Browser for the kitchen’s old laptop. Every station offline-first, with auto-sync when the network is back. Pick the form factor per station and swap them whenever the outlet evolves.

Pick the form factor per station

  • iPad: native app, full offline mode, hours of service without internet.
  • Android tablet: native app, offline mode, same UX as iPad.
  • Android phone: native staff app for tap-to-pay, table-side ordering and stockroom counts.
  • Browser: any tablet, laptop or kiosk, full feature parity.
  • Star, Epson and Bixolon receipt printers over LAN or Bluetooth.
  • Bluetooth and USB barcode scanners.
05 / 11Deep dive 03

Offline-first

The internet drops. The shift keeps running.

Every device is a complete POS. Menus, products, taxes, print settings and floor plans are mirrored locally on first login and refreshed in the background. Tap “Send to kitchen” or “Mark paid” and the change commits to a transactional store on the device first, then pushes to the server. If the API is unreachable for ten seconds, ten minutes or ten hours, orders, payments and tickets all keep flowing. When the link returns, queued mutations replay in the exact order the staff did them. Zero lost orders, zero double charges, no staff intervention.

How it actually works

  • Local persistent storage on every device (IndexedDB), transactional and durable across crashes and reboots.
  • Active connectivity probing every 30 seconds, because the Wi-Fi icon lies. We know we are offline before the staff does, and we know we are really online and not just “Wi-Fi associated”.
  • Background sync queue replays mutations in causal order when the link returns, with retries and backoff. The processor is re-entrant-safe so a bouncy connection never causes duplicate writes.
  • Receipt printers print locally over LAN or Bluetooth. Printers do not depend on the cloud either.
  • A single status indicator at the top of the screen: Online, Offline, or Syncing. No mode toggle, no orphaned drafts, no “save and try again” dialog.
  • Native iPad and Android apps via Capacitor, with full access to native printing, Bluetooth and device storage. The browser version runs the same local-first storage layer.

Reporting

Daily revenue that actually balances.

F&B and retail revenue posted to your accounting in the right cost centres, with daily reports that match the bank deposit, down to the cent.
