Front and back of house

Keep the floor and the kitchen in sync

A busy restaurant lives or dies at the pass. PowerEPOS sends every order to the right station, with the timing and details your chefs need, so courses land together and nothing gets missed.

  • Course firing that suits your service. Send entrées straight away, hold mains, and fire them when the table is ready.
  • Dietary and allergy requests stand out, with buttons like gluten free, nut allergy and dairy free printed on the docket.
  • Food to the kitchen, drinks to the bar. Each part of an order goes to its own printer or kitchen display screen (KDS).
  • KDS for busy kitchens. Put screens at each station and clear finished orders with a bump bar, with printers alongside if you like.
  • Digital receipts by SMS or email, so you can cut back on paper.

PowerEPOS is a fantastic restaurant POS system. My favourite features are the colour coding and icons in table management, as they assist us in delivering exceptional service. It's also incredibly reliable and user-friendly.
