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

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.
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.
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.
