A Restaurant POS System for Australian Venues, With No Terminal to Buy

A restaurant point-of-sale (POS) system is the software staff use to take orders, process payments, send tickets to the kitchen and track sales. Traditional Australian POS systems require a dedicated terminal, usually financed alongside a processing agreement; RestroManage's POS runs in a web browser on any phone, tablet or computer instead. Receipts are labelled with GST and your ABN automatically, because the tax labelling follows the venue's country.

No. RestroManage's POS runs entirely in a browser, so any phone, tablet, or laptop your staff already carry works as a terminal. Optional accessories like a tablet stand, cash drawer, or thermal receipt printer can be added later if you want them, but none are required to start taking orders.

Australian POS vendors often charge A$1,200–A$1,500 per terminal upfront, plus A$50–A$150 per month in software and processing fees, with the hardware financed into a multi-year agreement. RestroManage charges a flat per-venue monthly fee in Australian dollars with a free trial of up to 6 months, no card required, and zero hardware to purchase since it runs on devices you already own.

Yes. Staff can open dine-in tickets against your floor plan, ring up walk-in takeaway orders and manage counter service simultaneously, with every order — regardless of channel — appearing on the same kitchen display in real time. GST applies at 10 percent across all of them, so dine-in and takeaway do not need separate handling the way they do in some European markets.

RestroManage is a cloud-based POS and requires an internet connection to sync orders in real time, the same as most modern restaurant POS platforms. A stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is recommended for continuous service.

Yes. Our onboarding team helps import your existing menu, categories, and pricing so you can move over without rebuilding everything from scratch. Most restaurants are taking live orders within a day.

Some of them, and it is worth being precise about which. The Android register drives a PAX terminal over the POSLINK protocol on your local network, so a venue that already runs one keeps using it and the approved payment lands in the same order and reporting flow. A Tyro, Smartpay or bank-supplied terminal does not speak POSLINK, so one of those sits alongside RestroManage rather than being driven by it — or you take the card on tap to pay via Stripe Terminal instead and skip the second device.
