Real-Time Kitchen Display System (KDS) & Instant “86” Stock Alerts

Eliminate shouted orders and misplaced paper slips. Every tablet order flashes immediately on your kitchen screen grouped by station (EXPO, KITCHEN, BAR, TANDOOR) with live color-coded prep timers.

Fine Dining & Family Restaurants

Assign floor captains to dedicated sections (My Tables), tag orders by Seat & Course, transfer parties between tables, apply configurable Service Charge (0%, 5%, 10%, or custom), and split bills cleanly at checkout.

Cafes, Bakeries & Coffee Shops

Punch espresso and pastry orders in two taps from the Speed Shelf, route cafe beverages strictly to the Cafe counter printer while hot kitchen items go to the grill KDS, and handle rush queues with zero lag.

Bars, Pubs & Lounges

Keep open table tabs running across multiple rounds, reorder drinks instantly with Repeat Last Round, route cocktails to the dedicated BAR KDS tab, and let patio guests request refills via phone-verified QR bells.

Multi-Branch Restaurants & Franchises

Standardize menus, GST tax slabs, recipe BOM costing, and branch-isolated billing across every outlet while keeping each dining floor fast and independent on local store Wi-Fi.

Scan the Windows Desktop pairing QR on any phone, tablet, or KDS screen. Staff sign in to their role-specific workspace (Waiter, Kitchen, Cashier, or Admin).

Waiters punch orders via Speed Shelf, category scroll, modifiers, and Quick Notes — or activate Guest QR with the diner's phone number so guests self-order and ring Service Bells.

Each category routes automatically to its assigned KOT printer (e.g., Cafe Printer) or paperless KDS_ONLY screen. Chefs tap START, BUMP, 15-min Recall, or mark items 86.

Cashiers click Generate Bill right from InventoryPlus Desktop, split bills by seat or amount, apply service charges & GST, and print thermal receipts or share via WhatsApp.

Raw recipe ingredients deduct automatically via BOM, QR sessions clear cleanly, and managers run Shift X/Z reports with full double-entry cash, card, and UPI accuracy.

Track average table turn times, peak-hour kitchen speed, and top-selling categories right from the Desktop Dashboard, then export daily summaries to CSV in one click.

Does InventoryPlus Restaurant POS work if the internet goes down?

Yes. Your Windows InventoryPlus Desktop acts as the local store server over your Wi-Fi router. Waiter tablets, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), KOT printers, and cashier billing continue working at full speed even if your ISP internet drops. Plus, if a tablet briefly loses Wi-Fi range, queued orders auto-sync on reconnect.

Do waiters need to install an app from Google Play or the Apple App Store?

No. Waiters, chefs, and cashiers simply scan the pairing QR code (or enter your Store Code) and open the POS directly in Chrome, Safari, or Edge on any Android phone, tablet, iPad, or smart TV/monitor.

How does Category KOT printing work with KDS (e.g., Cafe vs Main Kitchen)?

In the Desktop Plugin Configuration tab, you can assign a dedicated Windows or network printer to each menu category (for example, routing Cafe items strictly to the Cafe printer) or set a category to KDS_ONLY so it appears on the kitchen screen without wasting paper.

How do you stop prank orders with Guest QR table ordering?

Table QR stickers stay locked until a waiter activates the table's QR session using the seated guest's 7-to-15-digit local or international phone number. Once the bill is settled (or manually released via Release QR Session), the QR session clears automatically.

What hardware and thermal printers are supported?

InventoryPlus runs on Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 PCs and touchscreens, and works with standard 58mm/80mm ESC/POS thermal printers (Epson, Star, TVS, Bixolon) plus any tablet, smartphone, or browser-capable monitor for Waiter POS and KDS.

Does it include recipe costing, GST billing, and Shift X/Z reports?

Yes. Every settled restaurant bill automatically posts to InventoryPlus GST/VAT billing, deducts raw recipe ingredients via Bill of Materials (BOM), updates double-entry ledgers, and reconciles cash, card, and UPI totals in Shift X/Z reports.
