The software solution that lets guests order and pay as they prefer

Contactless service at the table, counter, curbside, to-go

Restaurant Point of Sale and self-ordering software

Order and pay on
mobile devices, kiosks, at the POS

A modern restaurant Point of Sale (POS) software must do more than register orders and take payments. The LS Central for restaurants POS connects front of house and kitchen, so servers can fire dishes straight to the kitchen displays, access the entire menu including ingredients, and check if an order is ready without having to walk to the kitchen.

Manage tables and check that every guest is served timely. Reserve tables, move checks, split bills, and make sure that the service is always punctual and top notch.

The LS Central for restaurants POS can run on multiple types of devices, including tablets, mobile phones, and even self-service stations like kiosks.

Get a direct connection with the kitchen

Say goodbye to lost tickets and to needless back and forth to the kitchen. The Point of Sale and the kitchen display system (KDS) have a two-way communication.

  • The POS sends orders straight to the kitchen.
  • Orders are automatically routed to the correct KDS screens or printers.
  • See the prep status of dishes from the POS, and let guests know if there’s a delay.
  • See on the POS when a dish is ready, and take the order to the table while it’s still piping hot.
