Restaurant POS: Tables, kitchen tickets and bills for every restaurant
BridgeERP Restaurant POS seats guests on your floor plan, sends orders to the kitchen and bar screens, splits bills, takes tips and mobile money, and closes the day with the cash counted.
Free instant access. No credit card required.
Every order knows its table and its guests
The order keeps the table, the number of guests, the waiter, each dish and the tip.

Inside the app
What is inside
The parts of Restaurant POS, grouped by what they do during a service.
Floor plans
Each room or terrace is a floor with its tables, their seats and their shape.
Orders by table
An order is opened on a table with the number of guests and stays open until the bill is paid.
Kitchen and bar screens
Dishes go to the kitchen display and drinks to the bar display, each with its own stages.
Split bills
A table can split its bill so each guest pays their part by mobile money, card or cash.
Tips
A tip is added to the bill as its own line, so tips are kept apart from sales.
Waiters on the till
Waiters are employees allowed on the till, and every order records who served it.
Kitchen notes
Ready-made notes such as no onions or well done are picked for a dish when ordering.
Cash per service
Each session starts with a float, records the cash banked and closes with the count.

Questions
Questions about Restaurant POS
Not covered here? Contact us.
Can guests at one table pay separately?
Yes. With split bills on, the waiter splits the order and each guest pays their part with any payment method.
Do the kitchen and the bar see different tickets?
Yes. Each preparation display is set to the menu categories it prepares, such as dishes for the kitchen and drinks for the bar.
How are tips recorded?
A tip is added to the order as a tip line, so tips are kept apart from food and drink sales.
Can we see sales by waiter?
Yes. The orders analysis groups sales by employee, menu category, product or day.
Can guests order from their phone?
Self-ordering can be set to a QR menu, a QR menu with ordering, or a kiosk on each till.
Does it handle cash at the end of the night?
Yes. Each session starts with a float, records cash taken out and closes with the counted cash.
