You feel billing speed at every table, all day long. So look for item search in two keystrokes. Look for add-ons like less spicy or extra cheese, with no silly work-around. Cash, card and UPI belong on one screen. Split bills too, by item or by head, should be built in. Not a job for the calculator on your phone.
Top 7 POS Features Every Restaurant Needs Today
Every POS pitch says it does it all. On the floor, seven things decide whether a POS really runs an Indian restaurant or just sits there as a costly cash drawer. Use the list below as your checklist when you shop.
1. Fast Billing That Bends
2. GST Built In
The POS should pick the right slab per item, split CGST and SGST on its own, and hand you reports your CA can file as they are. If you need a consultant to set up GST, walk away. Our restaurant GST guide goes deeper on this.
3. KOT and Kitchen Display
Orders should hit the kitchen at once, at the right station, with the status flowing back to the floor. A real KOT system with a kitchen display kills the two old problems: the ticket nobody can find, and the writing nobody can read.
4. Stock Linked to Sales
A POS that only bills shows you sales. Link it to inventory and it shows you profit. Recipe-level stock drops, low-stock alerts, and should-have-used against did-use reports turn the same bills into cost control.
5. QR Menu Ordering
More guests now want to scan and order from the table. QR menu ordering cuts the queue, lifts the average bill, and frees up staff in a rush. Those orders should flow into the same POS and the same kitchen screen as all the rest.
6. Offline Mode
Indian broadband and a Friday night rush don’t always get along. Your POS has to keep billing and printing KOTs when the line drops, then sync once it’s back. Make the vendor show you this live. Plenty of cloud POS tools quietly fall over right here.
7. Multi-Outlet Reporting
You may run one place today. Pick a POS that can hold menus, prices and sales reports for many. Swapping your POS while you grow is a painful job. Billing Rasoi covers all seven, so take a look at the feature list or start a free trial.
