More detail
Why a POS with online ordering beats two systems
Many restaurants run a till from one company and online ordering from another, then retype web orders or keep two menus in sync by hand. A POS with online ordering built in keeps one menu and one order list, so prices, sold-out items and opening hours match everywhere.
How it works in Chefzi
Counter orders go through the POS. Online orders from your website, Google profile or QR table codes arrive in the same order system and on the kitchen screen. See online ordering, the kitchen display system and QR table ordering.
Pricing
Chefzi POS is included in your Chefzi plan at no extra cost. It is in beta. It is billed monthly per location in USD. 0% commission ever. See pricing.
Restaurant POS with online ordering in one system
Opens where you work
Install it as an app from app.getchefzi.com/pos, or open “POS (till)” in the dashboard.
Same orders, same kitchen
Till orders reach the Orders app, the kitchen screen and your printers, alongside online orders.
Keeps going offline
If the connection drops, orders queue on the device and sync later.
What a restaurant EPOS system needs to do
A restaurant EPOS system takes counter, table and phone orders, prints or displays them for the kitchen, takes payment, and adds up the day. In Chefzi these all sit in one place, together with your online orders, so stock and sold-out items match across channels. Guests can also order from their seat with the table ordering system, and online orders come from your restaurant online ordering system.
Cost of an EPOS system for a restaurant
Chefzi POS is included on Pro at $39 a month per location in USD. Counter card sales go through your own card terminal and processor, whose fees apply.
