How can I efficiently manage table ordering with a POS system?

Hi, i am a owner of a small restaurant and a new Shopify user, i am happy with the online orders and the new POS is also working well.

My question: How can i do table ordering with ? the pos ? Customers comes, order food and beverages, after that a coffee and dessert, then a liquor ... and finally pay the bill.

What is the best way to do that with the POS ? Actually i write down on paper the orders and 'make' the final bill with the Shopify pos.

Thanks for your help

I'd also love to find out more about how to optimise a restaurant ordering system, integrated with POS/ticket printer.

Would be great if the two could be optimised to work together, similar to deliveroo/uber eats etc.

Hi there, we are developing a Shopify app right now with these exact issues in mind.

It's like an Uber Eats experience for your customers but directly on Shopify! and without the huge commissions... You can try our app for free. Here are some of the features: (https://bit.ly/3ycKfM0)

 

We are building an easy way to:

  • Build custom menus and groups for customers to easily navigate from

  • Show/hide products according to availability

  • Easily manage real-time restaurant orders

  • Establish different pricing for Pick-up and Delivery

  • Notifications for the restaurant and the customer

Let me know if you'd like to learn more, I'm happy to help! email me at (fernanda@shopifica.com) thx!

Hi @Viet1700,

 

Did you ever find something? We've just built a POS extension for Cafes/Coffee shops, which should in theory work for restaurants too.

 

You can take a customers order/ticket, and then add to it over time, then at the end finally take payment for it. It will also help with things like modifiers.

 

Currently tickets are shown on a kitchen display (KDS) but we're working on ticket printing right now.

 

There's a video on the support page if you'd like to see how it works.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
