A dedicated POS terminal can cost as much as a month of a small restaurant's profit. For most counters it is not needed any more: the laptop, desktop or tablet already in the restaurant can run the whole POS in a web browser.
What is a browser-based POS?
It is billing software you open like a website. There is nothing to install: open the browser, sign in, and the counter is ready. Because it is the same account as the mobile app, the owner's phone, the counter laptop and the waiter's tablet all see the same tables, bills and stock.
What you can do from the browser
- See the day's sales on the dashboard the moment you sign in.
- Open the table floor map, take an order and send the KOT to the kitchen.
- Watch tables change colour as orders run and get ready.
- Run the kitchen display on a TV or tablet.
- Settle the bill by UPI, cash or card and share it on WhatsApp.
Why owners like it
- No new hardware. Use the computer you have. Add a thermal printer if you want paper receipts.
- Nothing to update. The browser always opens the latest version.
- A bigger screen. A laptop shows the whole floor map and menu at once, which helps at a busy counter.
- Works with the phone app. Bill from the laptop at the counter and from Android phones on the floor, all in sync.
What you need
A laptop, desktop or tablet with Chrome or Edge, an internet connection to sign in and sync, and optionally a thermal printer. That is the whole list.
