Hospitality POS solutions

A POS that keeps up with service

From the first coffee to last drinks, your POS sits at the centre of every order. Tillio helps restaurants, cafés, bars and food businesses choose, set up and support a system that fits the way they serve.

Who it's for

Hospitality businesses we work with

Every business is different, but the same fundamentals apply: fast, accurate transactions, organised products and clear reporting.

  • Restaurants
  • Cafés and coffee shops
  • Bars and pubs
  • Hotels and accommodation
  • Takeaway shops
  • Food trucks
  • Bakeries
  • Quick-service restaurants
  • Multi-venue operators

Workflows

Built around how a venue actually runs

Front of house

Quick ordering, table and tab management, split bills and smooth payments, so staff spend less time at the screen and more time with guests.

Kitchen and bar

Orders routed to the right printer or kitchen display, with modifiers and notes that are easy to read during a rush.

Reporting

Daily sales, item performance, payment summaries and staff activity, available from the back office when you need them.

Management

Menu changes, pricing, staff permissions and multi-venue settings managed centrally rather than device by device.

Capabilities

Capabilities we can help you set up

These are common capabilities of modern cloud POS platforms. We'll help you find a system that supports the ones you need, then configure them properly.

  • Table and order management

    Floor plans, table status and open orders for dine-in service.

  • Menu and modifier configuration

    Sizes, extras, milk types, cooking preferences and combos.

  • Dine-in and takeaway workflows

    Separate flows and pricing for eat-in, takeaway and pickup.

  • Kitchen printing and displays

    Route items to the right station via printers or kitchen display screens.

  • Staff permissions

    Control who can discount, refund, void or access reports.

  • Split bills and payments

    Split by item, seat or amount, and accept multiple payment types.

  • Surcharges and service charges

    Configure public holiday, card or service surcharges clearly and correctly.

  • Discounts and promotions

    Happy hours, staff meals, set menus and promotional pricing.

  • Stock and ingredient tracking

    Track stock and, on supported platforms, ingredient usage per item.

  • Daily sales reports

    End-of-day summaries, item sales and payment reconciliation.

  • Multi-venue operations

    Shared menus with venue-level pricing and combined reporting.

  • Online ordering and delivery

    Connect supported online ordering and delivery platforms to your POS.

  • Loyalty and gift cards

    Reward regulars and sell gift cards through supported integrations.

Features and integrations vary between POS providers, plans and hardware. We confirm what your chosen platform supports before you commit, and we'll tell you if something isn't possible.

Use cases

Set up for the way you trade

A good POS setup reflects your service style. Here's what we focus on for different types of business.

Restaurants

Table service involves more moving parts than most businesses: courses, seat numbers, special requests and bills that need splitting at the end of the night.

  • Floor plans that match your dining room
  • Coursing and hold/fire for the kitchen
  • Split bills by seat, item or amount
  • Clear dockets or kitchen displays for each station

Cafés and coffee shops

Café service is fast and full of modifiers. The POS needs to capture every oat-milk, extra-hot, half-strength order in a couple of taps.

  • Quick-access item grids for your best sellers
  • Modifiers laid out for speed at the counter
  • Orders sent straight to the coffee machine station
  • Dine-in and takeaway pricing handled automatically

Bars and pubs

Busy bars need a POS that handles open tabs, multiple terminals and fast transactions, while keeping a close eye on stock.

  • Open tabs and pre-authorisations where supported
  • Happy hour and promotional pricing
  • Staff permissions for voids and discounts
  • Stock tracking for beer, wine and spirits

Takeaway and quick-service

When speed matters most, every extra tap costs time. Takeaway and QSR businesses need simple screens and reliable online order handling.

  • Streamlined order screens and combos
  • Order numbers and customer displays
  • Online ordering and delivery integrations where supported
  • Kitchen flow designed for high volume

How Tillio helps

Choosing and configuring the right system

You don't need to become a POS expert. We do the research, setup and testing, and explain it in plain English.

  1. 1We start with how your venue serves customers, not with a product catalogue.
  2. 2We recommend options that suit your service style, budget and existing systems.
  3. 3We configure the menu, devices and integrations so you're ready for your first service.
  4. 4We train your team and stay available for agreed support after launch.

FAQ

Common questions

Looking for something else? Read the full FAQ, or see our retail solutions.

Which POS is best for a café or restaurant?

There isn't one best system. The right choice depends on your service style, menu complexity, number of terminals, integrations and budget. We'll help you compare suitable options based on how your venue actually runs.

POS consultation

Can my POS send orders to the kitchen?

Most hospitality POS platforms can send orders to kitchen printers, and many support kitchen display screens. We can help you choose and set up the approach that suits your kitchen.

Can I apply a public holiday surcharge?

Many POS platforms support configurable surcharges. We can help set them up so they're applied consistently and shown clearly to customers. You're responsible for making sure surcharges comply with Australian Consumer Law and card scheme rules.

Does every POS support every feature on this page?

No. Features and integrations vary between POS providers and plans. We'll confirm what your chosen platform supports before recommending it.

Can you help with a venue that's about to open?

Yes. Getting in touch a few weeks before opening gives time to choose a system, order hardware, build your menu and train staff without a last-minute rush.
