Restaurant POS System That Keeps Up With Your Floor
Foodship 360 runs your whole restaurant from one platform. This page is about its POS — the restaurant POS software your staff use at the counter, on the floor, and at the end of the night.
Every order reaches the same point of sale system, whether a customer walked in to your restaurant, ordered online, scanned a QR code or used the kiosk. Nothing is typed in twice.
No contract · No setup fee · 1 month free trial
In three numbers
to put a dine-in order through the system
for walk-in, online, QR and kiosk orders
yours, and one facing the customer
What a service looks like on this POS system
From opening the restaurant to cash-up at midnight — and what the system is doing at every point in between.
Scroll the timeline to follow the day →
Open up
Staff start their shift on the POS and the day begins.
A booking comes in
A table request from your website lands straight in the system.
The salmon runs out
Mark it sold out once and it leaves the menu everywhere at once.
A QR table opens
Someone scans the code and orders from their own phone.
The lunch rush
Counter, kiosk, QR and online orders queue on one point of sale.
An online order lands
A pickup order from your website joins the same queue. Nobody re-types it.
The kitchen gets it
The docket prints the moment the order is accepted.
Morning shift cashes up
Shift totals are already in the POS software, so the handover takes a minute.
A price changes from home
The admin panel opens in any browser and the restaurant POS system follows.
A table of four sits down
Staff tap the table on the restaurant floor plan. It opens, ready to order.
The first round goes in
Two taps per item and the order is on its way to the kitchen.
The internet drops out
The POS keeps taking orders and printing, then catches up by itself.
The table asks to split
The bill splits four ways on screen — evenly, by item, however they want.
A regular spends her points
Reward points come off the bill at the restaurant counter, not just online.
Close the day
Cash-up and the end-of-day report are waiting. No spreadsheet at midnight.
Two taps, and the kitchen has it
A restaurant POS system earns its keep at the busiest moment of the night. Foodship keeps the path from customer to kitchen as short as it can be, so your restaurant staff look up at the person in front of them instead of down at a screen.
A dine-in order takes as little as two taps on screen.
Extras and options sit on the same screen as the dish, so a change is one more tap.
Add a round to a table that is already open, as many times as the restaurant needs.
Mark a food item sold out from the system and every channel stops offering it.
Every order on one point of sale
Most restaurants end up with one system on the counter and a tablet beside it for everything else. Foodship 360 puts the lot on one screen — walk-in, online, QR and kiosk orders arrive in the same place and reach the kitchen the same way.
Orders from your restaurant food ordering system land in the same queue, already paid.
Rounds from the QR code ordering system show the table they came from.
Kiosk orders behave like any other order in the system.
An alert sounds on every new order, and keeps going until someone picks it up.
A live floor plan, not a guess
The restaurant POS system shows your room as it actually is. Anyone picking up a section can see where the restaurant is up to without asking three people.
See who is seated, who has ordered and who is waiting for the bill.
Open a table from the plan and the whole restaurant order is there.
Move a party to another table without starting the order again.
Seat a booking and the table opens on screen, ready to order.
Split the bill without the maths
The end of a table is where a slow restaurant POS system costs you a turn. Foodship handles the awkward splits in front of the customer instead of on a notepad.
Split evenly, by item, or however the table wants it.
Take part of the bill now and leave the rest open.
Pay with card, cash or reward points on the same screen.
EFTPOS at the counter, so the amount is never keyed in by hand.
A screen the customer can read
A customer display turns the screen around. People see what has been rung up as it happens, which settles most disputes at the restaurant counter before they start.
The second screen shows each item and the running total as you ring it up.
Available on Android and Windows machines.
The customer confirms the order before they pay for it.
Fewer refunds, because a mistake is caught at the restaurant counter.
It keeps going when the internet does not
An outage in the middle of a restaurant service should be an annoyance, not a closure. This restaurant POS system holds the floor on its own and reconnects quietly.
Keep taking restaurant orders and printing dockets with the line down.
The software catches up by itself when the connection is back.
Nothing is lost and nothing is entered twice.
Staff carry on without being told the software is down.
Dockets and receipts, from the POS
Printing is where the software meets the real restaurant. Foodship prints on the receipt printers you already own, so changing your POS software does not mean changing your hardware.
Kitchen dockets and customer receipts on standard receipt printers.
Reprint a docket from the system when one goes missing.
Orders from every channel print the same way.
Prefer screens? Send tickets to the kitchen display instead.
Change the menu once
With separate systems, a price rise means editing the menu in four places. On Foodship it is one edit in the admin panel, and the restaurant POS software is one of the places that follows.
Update a price and it changes on the POS, your website, QR codes and kiosk together.
Mark a dish sold out at the counter and it disappears everywhere.
Food categories, menu items, photos, extras and options, all in one place.
Set a menu to run only at certain times of day.
Tonight's bookings, on the POS
Reservations belong next to the floor plan, not in a separate book behind the restaurant POS machine. Your staff can see both on the same screen.
See bookings as a list, a timeline, a calendar or on the floor plan.
Seat a guest and their table opens ready for the first round.
Move a time, mark a no-show or add a walk-in to the waitlist.
A bookings report shows your busiest times and your no-show rate.
One customer, however they order
Someone who booked on Friday, ordered online on Tuesday and paid at the restaurant today is one customer in Foodship — not three rows in three systems.
Orders, bookings and reward points sit on one profile.
Staff can see who they are serving, whichever way the customer came in.
Reward points are earned and spent at the counter, not only online.
One customer list for the whole restaurant.
Shifts, cash-up and the numbers
The last half hour of a shift is where an advanced restaurant POS system quietly pays for itself. Everything the close needs is already in the restaurant POS software.
Shifts and cash-up are built into the system.
End-of-day reports are ready when the last table leaves.
Sales from every channel sit side by side in one report.
Read the numbers from the admin panel the next morning, anywhere.
Runs on the machine you already have
You do not need a special machine to start. The restaurant POS software runs on ordinary hardware, and the admin panel is web based — any browser, anywhere.
Download the POS app on an iPad, an Android tablet or a Windows computer.
Pair it with a six-digit code from your admin panel. Setup is that simple.
Add a second screen on a busy night and pair it the same way.
No till to buy, no server in a cupboard, no site visit.
One place to run the restaurant
Everything behind the restaurant POS system is set up in one admin panel — your menu, your prices, your opening hours, your staff, your payments and your reports. It opens in any browser, so you are not tied to the machine on the counter.
Set once, and every screen in the restaurant follows.
Added in the same admin panel as everything else.
Recorded by the system as the restaurant works.
Change something at home and the software has it before the next order.
A restaurant POS system on its own, or the POS inside Foodship 360
Most restaurants buy a point of sale system from one company and their ordering from another. Here is the difference that makes on an ordinary Tuesday.
Separate restaurant software
- Update the menu in four places
- Re-type online orders into the restaurant system
- A tablet for every ordering app on the counter
- Customer lists that never match
- Reports you stitch together by hand
The POS inside Foodship 360
- One menu, updated everywhere
- Every order in one restaurant queue
- One app on the counter
- One profile per customer
- Every channel in one report
What else switches on beside the POS
Each one shares the same menu, the same orders and the same customers as your restaurant POS system. Turn on what your restaurant needs.

Restaurant POS questions we get asked
A restaurant POS system is the restaurant software your staff use to take an order, send the food to the kitchen and take the payment. A modern system also keeps your menu, your sales reports and your customer list, so the restaurant runs from one system instead of four.
Yes. EPOS, POS and point of sale all describe the same thing — an electronic point of sale. Foodship is a cloud EPOS system, so your menu and reports are reached from any browser rather than locked to one machine in the venue.
Yes. The POS keeps taking orders and printing dockets while the connection is out, then catches up by itself when it returns. Nothing is lost and nothing has to be entered a second time.
An iPad, an Android tablet or a Windows computer is enough. Download the app, pair it with a six-digit code from your admin panel, and the point of sale is live. You can add another machine on a busy night the same way.
The admin panel is web based and opens in any browser, so you can change a price or read a report from home. The software itself is an app on the counter, which is what lets it keep working offline.
Yes. Payments are taken at the counter through EFTPOS, so the amount is never keyed in by hand. Ask us about the free terminal if you would also like to pass card surcharges on.
Yes. A small restaurant or cafe can run on one screen and nothing else. The platform is priced for small venues and the rest of the services stay switched off until you want them.
