🔑 Key Features of the Restaurant POS Web App

🔹 Complete 20-screen restaurant suite — The Restaurant POS Web App covers every operational area from touch-screen billing to the audit trail, so a restaurant can run daily service without a monthly POS subscription.

🔹 Touch-friendly POS with category-grouped menu cards — Staff build orders from image cards sorted into categories like Starters, Soups, Salads, Main Course, Pizza, Pasta, and Burgers & Sandwiches. The live checkout panel handles order type (Dine-in, Takeaway, Delivery, Counter), discount, 5% tax, service charge, tip, hold order, and final payment in one screen.

🔹 Table floor view with area grouping — Tables are grouped by area such as Bar, Outdoor, and Private Dining. Each card shows its seat count and live status (available, occupied, reserved) and allows one-tap start order, reserve, or generate bill.

🔹 KOT / Kitchen Display workflow — Every ticket moves through Pending → Preparing → Ready → Served. Kitchen and bar staff update status, print, or cancel tickets from the board, with an active-only filter to cut noise during a rush.

🔹 Six role-based access levels — Admin, Manager, Cashier, Waiter, Inventory User, and Viewer each get tailored screen access. Admins manage users, passwords, and settings; waiters take orders; cashiers handle billing and shifts.

🔹 19 built-in reports — Daily sales, bill-wise, item-wise, category-wise, cashier-wise, payment modes, tax summary, discounts, voids and refunds, table sales, KOT tickets, shift closing, product stock, low stock and reorder, purchases, supplier payments, expenses, customer sales, and a full audit log — every report exports to Excel.

🔹 Inventory ledger with auto stock deduction — Every sale deducts stock. The inventory screen logs each movement with date, product, category, quantity in/out, running balance, and the reference bill, plus manual adjustments and low-stock highlights.

🔹 Shift and cash register reconciliation — Each cashier opens and closes their own till with opening cash declared. The system calculates expected cash from sales and flags the difference, so the drawer is reconciled before every handover.

📦 What’s Inside the Restaurant POS Web App

1 – Login Page

The secure sign-in screen where every user enters their own username and password to access the system based on their assigned role. It carries the restaurant branding, logo, and a touch-friendly welcome panel.

2 – POS / Billing

The main point of sale screen where staff build an order from menu image cards grouped by category. The live checkout panel on the right handles order type, discount, tax, service charge, tip, hold order, and final payment in one place.

3 – Held & Open Orders

Lists every saved or running order with its order number, date, type, table, customer, item count, total, status, and the staff member who created it. From here you can resume an order, send it to billing, or cancel it.

4 – Tables

A live floor view grouped by area such as Bar, Outdoor, and Private Dining. Each table card shows its seats and current status of available, occupied, or reserved, and lets you start an order, reserve the table, or generate the bill in one tap.

5 – KOT / Kitchen Display

The kitchen and bar preparation board that moves each ticket through Pending, Preparing, Ready, and Served. Kitchen staff update the status, print, or cancel each ticket and filter the board down to active tickets only.

6 – Bills

Search, view, reprint, void, or refund any completed bill with a date range and status filter. Each row shows the bill number, date, order type, table, customer, cashier, total, payment mode, and status, and can be exported to Excel.

7 – Dashboard

Opens with 9 summary KPI cards — Sales, Orders, Discounts, Tax Collected, Tips, Voids/Refunds, Held Orders, Open Tables, and Low Stock Items — for the selected date range, followed by analytical charts including 7-Day Sales Trend and Hourly Sales.

8 – Reports

The reports center provides 19 ready-made reports — daily sales, bill-wise, item-wise, category-wise, cashier-wise, payment modes, tax summary, discounts, voids, table sales, KOT tickets, shift closing, product stock, low stock and reorder, purchases, supplier payments, expenses, customer sales, and audit log. Pick a report, set a date range, run it, and export to Excel.

9 – Products

The product master holding every food and beverage item with its image, code, category, type, price, tax percent, stock, and status. You can add, edit, import, and export products and manage their categories from one place.

10 – Inventory

The stock ledger that records every movement with the entry, date, product, category, type, quantity in, quantity out, running balance, and reference bill. It also supports manual stock adjustments and highlights low-stock items.

11 – Purchases

Records stock inward from suppliers, showing each purchase with its date, supplier, invoice number, total, amount paid, and payment status. You can raise a new purchase and export the list to Excel.

12 – Suppliers

Your directory of beverage, food, and consumable vendors, holding each supplier with their contact person, mobile, email, payment terms, and status. You can add suppliers and export the full list.

13 – Customers

Keeps your guests, regulars, and loyalty members with their mobile, email, birthday, loyalty points, and status. You can add customers, track loyalty points, and view upcoming birthdays for targeted marketing.

14 – Expenses

Tracks daily spend against shifts, recording each expense with its date, category, payee, amount, payment mode, linked shift, and bill copy. You can add expenses and export them to Excel.

15 – Shifts & Cash Register

Lets cashiers open, manage, and close their till sessions. Each shift shows the user, open and close time, opening cash, sales, expected and actual cash, and the difference, so the drawer is always reconciled.

16 – Import / Export

Handles bulk data: download an Excel or CSV template for any module, import rows with validation, and export every module to Excel. Rows with an existing ID update in place; rows without an ID insert as new records.

17 – User Management

Lets the admin add team members and assign roles such as Admin, Manager, Cashier, Waiter, Inventory User, and Viewer, each with its own access. It also manages usernames, passwords, last login, and active status.

18 – List Management

Configure the dropdown master lists used across the app — product categories, units, payment modes, table areas, and expense categories — with their display order and active status.

19 – Settings

Configure your business profile, billing rules, and print formats in one place. Set the restaurant name, logo, and login image; tax, service charge, tip, and discount rules; receipt paper size; and the bill, KOT, shift, and order prefixes.

20 – Audit Log

Records every important action in the system — logins, sales, voids, refunds, stock changes, and edits — showing the time, user, role, action, module, record, and details for full transparency and accountability.

💼 Real-World Use Cases

Aisha runs a 60-cover family restaurant. She uses the Restaurant POS Web App to manage table orders across her main hall and outdoor section, push tickets straight to the kitchen display, and reconcile her two cashiers’ tills at close — without paying $120 per month for a legacy POS. Her waiters see every order the moment it is placed.

Marco operates a cloud kitchen serving takeaway and delivery. He loaded 80 menu items across 7 categories, tracks daily revenue by category and payment mode, and logs supplier purchases automatically, cutting his month-end stock reconciliation from 4 hours to 20 minutes.

Priya manages a café with a private-dining room. She uses the customer loyalty screen to track regulars, send birthday promos, and monitor repeat visits, while the shift reconciliation feature caught a cash discrepancy in week one that her old paper system would have missed.
