For restaurants
Floor plan to kitchen to BAS — all on one rail.
Sit-down venues move slower than cafes, but the flow around the food is an order of magnitude more complex. halopos models that flow explicitly.
What we emphasize for restaurants
- Floor plan editor with drag-to-position and collision detection.
- KDS with delta KOTs — modify the table-7 order without reprinting the whole docket.
- Open tabs transfer between waiters without re-entering items.
- Table transfers and course handling tracked in the order history.
The shift, step by step
- Step 1
Seat the table
Tap a table on the floor plan to open a tab.
- Step 2
Take the order
Waiter phone or cashier terminal — same data, either way.
- Step 3
Modify after send
Delta KOT with the add-line — the kitchen sees only what is new.
- Step 4
Split the bill
Equal-N or item-grouped. Idempotent: late retries never double-charge.
