Restaurant POS: Orders, Kitchen, Tables and Food Cost
Restaurant POS software handles dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders, sends them to the kitchen, manages tables and covers, and connects sales back to recipe costing and stock so you can see food cost rather than guess it. ODOOVATIONS implements this for single restaurants and multi-outlet groups, including kitchen display screens and aggregator order handling.
Who this is for
Restaurants, cafes, bakeries, cloud kitchens and multi-outlet food groups — particularly those where delivery aggregator orders are being typed into the till by hand.
Why restaurant POS is not retail POS
A shop sells a thing that exists. A restaurant sells a thing that gets made, from ingredients that expire, modified per customer, to a table that turns over four times an evening, through three different channels at once. A retail till does not model any of that, which is why restaurants using one end up with a whiteboard, a separate delivery tablet and no idea what a dish actually costs.
Order taking and service
- Dine-in, takeaway and delivery on the same system
- Table plan, covers, and moving or merging tables
- Course timing and order fire to kitchen
- Modifiers, variants and special instructions
- Split bills, shared items and multiple payment methods
- Waiter-wise and shift-wise accountability
Kitchen
- Kitchen display or printed dockets per station
- Order status from fired to ready to served
- Preparation time visibility
- Item availability marked out of stock at source, so the till stops offering it
Food cost and stock
This is where the money usually is. Each menu item is linked to a recipe, each recipe to ingredients, so a sale deducts ingredients and gives you theoretical usage. Comparing that with actual stock counts is what exposes over-portioning, wastage and losses — the gap between the two is the number worth watching, not either figure alone.

Multi-outlet and delivery
- One menu and price structure managed centrally, with per-outlet overrides
- Consolidated sales and food cost across outlets
- Central kitchen and inter-outlet transfers
- Delivery aggregator orders handled in the same flow, where an integration is available
- Outlet-level performance comparison
Delivery aggregator integrations depend entirely on what each platform offers and approves for your account. We confirm what is actually available for your outlets before including it in scope — we do not promise integrations we cannot verify.
Questions
Where the platform provides an integration for your account, yes — orders land in the same flow instead of being retyped from a tablet. Availability and approval sit with the aggregator, so we verify it for your specific outlets before committing to it in scope.
