Restaurant POS System in Kenya
Busy lunch hours, mixed M-Pesa and cash payments, and stock that disappears without a record make running a restaurant hard. Isoftke’s restaurant POS system in Kenya helps restaurants, cafés and takeaways take orders fast, record every payment and close each shift knowing exactly where the money and stock went.
Our restaurant POS is built by our team in Nairobi for how Kenyan food businesses actually work. See it in our portfolio.
Why your restaurant needs a POS system
Paper order books and a cash box can’t tell you which dishes sell best, which shift came up short, or why your soda stock is always lower than expected. A restaurant POS system records every order, payment and stock movement as it happens, so you make decisions on facts instead of guesses.
Features of our restaurant POS software in Kenya
Menu and prices
Set up your menu with photos and prices, and mark dishes as special offers. Update prices once and the till updates instantly.
Fast order taking
Tap dishes to build an order, choose takeaway or a table, and add the customer’s name and notes such as “no onion”, so the kitchen gets it right.
M-Pesa and cash payments
Record each order as M-Pesa or cash. The shift report shows the split, so you know exactly how much should be in the drawer and in M-Pesa.
Shifts and cash drawer control
Every cashier works in a shift. The system tracks opening cash, cash sales and cash taken out, calculates the expected drawer balance, and flags any shortage.
Stock and running-low alerts
Stock reduces with every sale and the till warns you when items are running low, before you run out in the middle of service.
Stock audit trail
See every item sold or written off, by whom, in which shift and at which branch, so losses are easy to trace.
Shift and sales reports
Total sales, orders paid, VAT collected and top-selling items for every shift, ready when you close.
Online menu, QR code and reviews
Your restaurant gets a public page with your menu, a QR code and link to share, and customer reviews that help new diners find you.
Multiple branches
Run more than one outlet? Sales, shifts and stock are kept per branch.
