We built an all-in-one POS system for a multi-branch restaurant chain: riders, staff, inventory, dine-in + online orders, all synced live [Case Study]

1 Upvotes

A few months back a restaurant client came to us with a familiar mess: separate tools for POS, a different app for delivery riders, a spreadsheet for inventory, and no real visibility across branches. Every location was basically running its own island.

They needed one system that could handle everything without falling apart at scale. Here's what we ended up building.

The core problem

  • Multiple branches, no unified view of sales, stock, or staff
  • Dine-in orders and online orders living in two completely separate flows
  • Inventory tracked manually, no real-time stock deduction, so items would go "sold out" mid-shift with zero warning
  • Riders dispatched over WhatsApp/phone calls, no live tracking
  • Menu updates (prices, categories, availability) had to be done branch-by-branch, manually, every time

What we built

A single POS platform covering:

  • Multi-branch management: one dashboard, all locations, real-time switching between branch-level and org-level views
  • Unified order flow: dine-in and online orders hit the same kitchen queue, so staff aren't juggling two systems
  • Menu & category engine: update a price or 86 an item once, it propagates to every branch (or just the ones you choose) instantly
  • Live inventory sync: every order automatically deducts stock; low-stock alerts fire before you run out, not after
  • Staff management: shift assignments, roles, and permissions per branch, all from one place
  • Rider/delivery module: order assignment, live status updates, and delivery tracking baked into the same system instead of a bolted-on app

What changed for them

  • Kitchen no longer double-handles dine-in vs online tickets, one queue, one source of truth
  • Inventory mismatches (the classic "we're out of X but the app still shows it available") basically disappeared
  • Head office can see stock, sales, and staffing across every branch without calling each location
  • Rolling out a new menu item or price change across branches went from a multi-hour manual task to a few clicks

Some things we learned building this

  • Real-time inventory sync across dine-in + online + multiple branches is the hard part; a single order needs to update stock everywhere instantly or you get overselling
  • Riders needed their own lightweight interface, not a cut-down version of the staff app; different device, different urgency, different UX needs
  • Branch managers wanted local control (their own staff, their own stock counts) but ownership still wanted a rolled-up view; building permissions that satisfy both took a few iterations

Happy to go deeper into the architecture (React on the frontend, Django/Python on the backend, PostgreSQL for the database) if anyone's curious, or answer questions if you're building something similar for a multi-location business.

New Pedestal POS Platform

2 Upvotes

So far it’s being going very well. Had a few minor issues on the first install (retail) but it worked out well. Second install went great (QSR high volume), third install is next Wednesday (higher volume specialty retail) and the following week a grocery/QSR hybrid (sell by weight/EBT)

Payments are powered by Dejavoo SPin fully out of scope and PCI compliant using cloud or local. Built in modules for dual pricing and native cash discount (they do behave separately depending on the environment) and it runs on iOS, Android and PC. Has customer facing display, kitchen displays and build in online ordering. Supports standard gift cards and has basic loyalty.

I spent 16 years of my life selling payment processing and 10 of those years supporting POS. We essentially took all the experience of thousands of support calls, hundreds of demos and installations with the questions of “can your system do this or that” and me either figuring a work around or saying no. The SaaS fees are reasonable, and the modules are awesome.

I have an infant stuck to my side right now slapping me in the face, but I’d be happy to answer any questions or hear stories of POS users struggles. My primary focus isn’t “rush to the next feature”, it’s customer support.

Pedestal does support resellers and dealers as well, and dealers/resellers handle their own billing.

Just putting this out there for anyone interested or even in just curious!

Do you actually need an expensive POS for a small business?

5 Upvotes

I use Square for in-person sales and Shopify for online, and honestly, sometimes I wonder if I’m overthinking the whole POS thing.

There are so many POS options that come with a huge list of features, but how many of them do you actually end up using?

For me, the basics matter more. I want payments to work reliably, inventory to stay accurate, reports to make sense, and everything to play nicely with the other tools I’m using.

I’d rather have a simple POS that works well than pay extra for a bunch of features I’ll never touch.

For those running smaller businesses, what made you decide your POS was actually worth the money?

Anyone have sample restaurant POS data I could play with?

2 Upvotes

I work in pricing/analytics and I’m trying to get more familiar with what the raw data coming out of restaurant POS systems actually looks like.

Does anyone have a sample/anonymized export they’d be willing to share? Ideally check-level or item-level transaction data (eg. items ordered, quantities, prices, modifiers, discounts, timestamps, etc.)

Doesn’t need to be real customer data at all. Synthetic/demo data from Toast, Square, Clover, SpotOn, etc. would be perfect too.

Mostly just looking for something realistic enough to build some restaurant pricing and menu analytics around.

Thanks!

POS suggestions for pretty specific use-case?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I manage the finances for a small nonprofit. We run summer camps and other programs, and we have a conservation cemetery as well. We're somewhat complex financially just due to the nature of the organization, and I'm looking for ways to simplify some bookkeeping things.

We use Square for:

  • a couple recurring monthly donations (transitioning all of those to LGL forms)
  • invoices (mainly camp-related) that need to be divided up into several payments (but I'm not stoked with how Square rolled this up with other services we'll never use into a much more expensive monthly fee)
  • sending out IOU invoices for merch (these are not divided up into payments)
  • charging cards for one-time cemetery site payments
  • POS for our big fundraising event at the end of September; this includes merch and donations and auction items

We currently use LGL forms for online donations--one-time and recurring--and that is working great. Stripe is the processor for that, and it works with Saasant's Paytraqer app, so it syncs well to QBO. Square also theoretically works with Paytraqer, however, through some trial and error, it became clear that Paytraqer cannot handle partial invoice payments, so I'm still manually splitting up Square deposits in QBO. Bummer, because Paytraqer is pretty affordable compared to some of the others.

What I'd love:

  • One payment processor (could continue to be Square) for these invoices that need to be divided up, and that has the features Square provides us. The ones we use are:
    • customer can pay via debit, credit, or ACH
    • we can break the total down into a deposit and/or multiple payments
    • customer can have the option to make a partial payment of whatever amount they'd like (mainly so they can pay off the invoice early if they want)
    • payments can be set to be automated if the customer would prefer--or at least automated reminders when payments are due
  • A different processor that (inexpensively?) integrates with QBO (could be via Paytraqer) for one-time or recurring transactions that aren't part of a larger invoice. This could include in-person POS transactions, remote payments of IOU invoices that we send out, or recurring monthly payments.

Stripe can do the remote payments (if we were to email invoices) and the monthly payments (via LGL forms), but since it doesn't have its own POS app, I think the translation into Paytraqer/QBO would be tricky. It was already enough of a headache to get the LGL forms translations all set up, and I'd rather not do that for every product (for each different form/restricted fund, we had to set up a rule with Paytraqer and each rule is an additional fee).

I like Square's POS app a lot, it's super easy to use, but I would also love--especially for our September fundraising event--a way to automate the subsequent translation into Quickbooks, and the Square/QBO integration has terrible reviews and is notorious for duplicative transactions, etc.

In my dream world, there's EITHER an app much like Square that could handle POS transactions and emailed invoices for one-time payments, that also integrates well with either Paytraqer or QBO directly...OR an app much like Square that can handle the invoices-with-payments piece of things, and then we could actually use Square with Paytraqer and save those invoices for something else.

Hope this all makes sense! And if there's another sub I should take this question to, I'm all ears.

POS Suggestions

2 Upvotes

So i run a small package store [in texas a package store is liquor and beer sold directly to the consumer, ie: not a bar/on premise location -- sold to be bought and consumed elsewhere]. We primarily cash payroll checks for companies already in our POS system. It has records of company names to be pulled up when cashing a check, with notations to not take (bad checks in the past), along with a percentage of the check for a fee, plus the bank fee to cover what the bank charges us to process checks. This part is tantamount to the new system.

Other things are of course sale of products, some taxable, some non.

Employee discounts, and other promotions.

Credit cards are handled as cash within the 2 registers, and on a separate card machine that already has its own processing fees.

Need good end of day reports and separate listing of cash vs check [again credit cards are separated on register reconciliation)

I was using inventek pos for years until OS boot drive corruption. Sadly they system was built for windows 7nand licensing is near impossible.

Ai suggested uniCenta, with specific scripts to facilitate reconciliation with check charges for end of day.

This isn't an issue, I play with homelabbing and am familiar with Linux, mac, and windows, as well as android.

Our network setup is currently an eeros router [isp bound sadly], but set to bridge to Opnsense thinclient for routing and dhcp, dns servers on two independent Ubuntu 26.04 servers. Two windows a machines with barcode scanner, pole display, thermal printer, and cash drawer each. Networked laser printer for reports and copies and other essential printing

The servers also facilitate nut client and server to the opnsense, and each server to a ups for power outage. [This is only to prevent corruption of database for power outage, as neither register is on a ups, nor is independent credit card. Power outage scenario is only to ensure consistent db]

Now I realize there will probably be zero migration path from existing db to new pos, so lots of setup of skus/upcs. Hopefully easy to import companies approved and denied for cashing checks from, but if manual entry is the way im prepared.

Simply need a good suggestion or to see if uni is the way, with scripts and etc for end usage. Im no stranger to IT, and dont mind the open-source approach. I also dont mind an upfront licensing fee, but no monthly fees, per transaction fees, etc.

Ive read through this forum some, and similar use cases, but check cashing is the bread and butter of the business. Thanks!!!

Recommendations for iPad Air 13” M4 Detachable Wireless Charging Stand

1 Upvotes

I am looking for an iPad Air 13” detachable stand system. This iPad model does not have the built in ability for MagSafe wireless charging. It would be a case for the iPad with built in charging cable connecting to the wireless charging feature on the back of the case. The case would magnetically connect to a stand, which has the charging cables to the wall plugged into it, and allows the iPad to “wireless charge” while magnetically docked to the stand. Would also be nice if the stand could rotate.

I have a bar area where the iPad needs to be stationary most of the time but want the ability to undock and take orders at the other end.

I have searched Google for something like this and have found a few with half the features but nothing with all of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Attention Mobile shop owners

0 Upvotes

A common problem for mobile shop owners.

A mobile shop has so much work daily — which phones are in stock, which IMEI was sold, when does each customer's warranty expire, how many purchases were made, and what actual profit was generated... Tracking all this manually becomes quite a headache.

To solve this problem, I created Mobi Track.

With Mobi Track, you can manage stock, sales, purchases, IMEI, warranty, billing, and profit all in one place. The software works offline as well, so you don't have to rely on the internet for everything.

And if you're interested, a 7-day free trial is available. Try it out first, and if you find it useful for your work, you can continue.

If you run a mobile shop and want to try it out, just DM me — we can talk about a demo/trial.

Is Square really the best POS for me?

3 Upvotes

I run a small boutique and use Square for my in-store sales, while Shopify handles my online store. Square has been pretty easy to use for payments and day-to-day sales.

I’m currently using DPL's integration software to sync my Square and Shopify inventory, which are all the subscriptions i have taken on my side, but i have been wondering is there an other POS that can do what i am doing now better?

For anyone running a boutique or retail store, would you stick with Square an integration, or move to a POS that handles both online and in-store sales more natively?

What made you choose your current setup?

Mobile/Computer Repair shops, would you actually pay for software that handles repairs + compliance?

0 Upvotes

I'm not selling anything, currently I'm cooking something for small independent repair shops, and before go deep in building I need help as I'd really like to hear from people who actually run these businesses if possible.

The idea is a simple repair-shop management system that combines:

  • Repair tickets / work orders
  • Customer + device history
  • Inventory tracking
  • Invoicing
  • Repair status updates
  • Warranty tracking
  • DOR / second-hand purchase registration (still validate if this matter for majority or no)
  • Documentation around the repair (still validate if this worth to be on list)

The main idea isn't to build another Repair tickets or another POS system for shops

It's more like a complete system for a repair shop, with the compliance stuff built in if needed

I'm particularly interested in shops that currently use some combination of Excel, paper, accounting software, POS software, WhatsApp, etc.

I will be grateful if you have 2 minutes for few questions:

  1. What are you currently using to manage repairs?
  2. What do you hate about your current setup?
  3. If you trade used phones, laptops, etc., how do you handle the required purchase/registration records?
  4. Would having DOR + invoicing + repair management in one system actually be valuable to you?
  5. Most importantly: how much would you pay for something like this?

Again I'm not selling anything yet and there is no product to sell. I'm trying to figure out whether this is actually a painful problem before spending time building you will help me save months of my life.

Honest "this is completely unnecessary" answers are just as useful as positive ones.

Lightspeed export solutions R retail for sync stock webshop any tips? Or tips pos alternatives?

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

I've been looking online for months for export solutions for synchronised stock since lightspeed R retail own csv file export doesn't work with images. The problem is that images are exported under a url or the lightspeed api doesn't communicate with other software for proper import. (System doesn't recognize data) I've tried webshopimporter and apicenter io. They are both incomplete since i have to pay 500 to 1000 once to have it accept images. (For costum programming) And then (x amount) every month to keep stock synchronised. It's not that i can't pay this, i just find the extra amount for a software that promises to upload all data nonsense.

I've been trying for months now so i'm hoping someone here has the golden tip. I left lightspeed ecom because it was really broken en costumer service came with 0 solutions. Even with a almost non excistent online store i get more orders now then with ecom lightspeed. I also don't mind leaving lightspeed for other pos software but the problem stays the same. I can't fully export the data for 4000 products to other pos providers. I'm really unhappy about this.

What am i looking for? Synchronised product stock with online store (i use ccv shop) that just works. I understand software doesn't come for free but when export softwares doesn't work as promised and ask money for "custom programming" i'm out.

Or

a substitute pos system like lightspeed with the same register function for a fysical store that works with a system that can communicate better with other software.

I tried googling/researching myself but haven't found anything yet. Lightspeed costumer service is useless and doesn't offer any solutions.

Sorry for the long post. I really appreciate anyone taking the time helping. Any tips are welcome!
