Restaurant POS Features: Everything Biodux POS does at the till and in the back office.
From the waiter’s PIN to the shift report, here is the complete list. Every feature works in a hotel outlet or a standalone restaurant or bar. 38 features in 7 areas.
Waiters and security
Know who took every order and who touched every bill.
-
PIN or card login
Staff log in on an on-screen keyboard, or with a staff card if you use them.
-
Waiter mode
Each waiter confirms every order with their own card or PIN, so orders are always tied to a person.
-
Rights per action
Placing, viewing, moving, splitting and voiding orders, and selling, are separate permissions.
-
Licensed terminals
Each sales point is tied to its own machine, so nobody installs an extra till without you knowing.
-
Activity trail
Every sale is written to the activity trail with the user and time.
Tables and orders
Built for a busy floor on a Friday night.
-
Tables and covers
Place, view and add to orders by table, with quick screens to pick a table or a waiter.
-
Move tables and orders
Move an order to another table or hand it to another waiter.
-
Split bills
Split an order into several tabs, each with its own subtotal, tax and room service charge.
-
Voids with a paper trail
Voiding needs the right, and a cancelled-order ticket prints naming who cancelled it.
-
Notes to the kitchen
Send preset or free-text messages to the kitchen printer: “table 4 is in a hurry”.
-
Quick sales
Sell straight from the counter without opening a table, or switch that off for outlets that should always use tables.
Kitchen and bar printing
Each station gets only its own tickets.
-
Up to four order printers
Route items to the kitchen, grill, bar or pastry printer by each item’s print location.
-
58 mm or 80 mm
Choose paper width, number of copies and whether prices appear on order tickets.
-
Your own ticket title
Call it an order ticket, a KOT or a chit. It prints the way your kitchen is used to.
Payments and settlement
Paid, on account or complimentary, and always recorded.
-
Several payments on one bill
Cash, transfer, POS terminal and more on the same bill. Payment methods are yours to define.
-
Charge to room
Pick an in-house guest by name or room number. The charge, service charge and taxes go to their folio.
-
Bed and breakfast
A separate list of B&B guests, so breakfast is recorded against the room, not given away.
-
Accounts
Customer accounts, staff accounts, staff meals and complimentary sales, each recorded separately.
-
Pole display and cash drawer
A customer pole display with your welcome and goodbye messages, and the cash drawer opens on payment.
-
Receipts your way
80 mm or A6 receipts with your logo, three footer notes and the member’s balance.
Shifts, stock and accounts
The sale is only the start. Biodux finishes the paperwork.
-
Open and close shifts
A shift can’t close with unserved orders. The shift report shows served, cancelled and unserved orders, sales and payments.
-
Close day
The back office can’t close the day while any shift is still open.
-
Stock from every sale
Each sale reduces the outlet’s stock. Recipe items take their ingredients out of the kitchen store.
-
Live food cost
Recipe cost is worked out from current ingredient costs, so menu prices can keep up.
-
Books update themselves
Sales, cost of sales, stock, taxes, service charge and guest, customer and staff accounts post to the ledger automatically.
Back office and reports
The reports a food and beverage manager actually reads.
-
Sales reports
By outlet, cashier, sales type, item group and subgroup, plus invoice and receipt lists.
-
Order reports
Served, unserved and cancelled orders, waiter performance and order summaries.
-
Gross profit
Gross profit summary and detail, and your best and worst sellers by volume and by profit.
-
Cash log
Cash by cashier and by department, so every shift reconciles.
-
Stock reports
Outlet stock sheets, balances, movement, bin card, transfers and goods received.
-
Set it up yourself
Items, groups, units, customers, vendors, members, outlets, payment methods and tables are all managed in the back office.
