Restaurant POS

POS built for the whole shift.

Take table, counter and QR-originated orders from one connected POS. Open the shift with a cash float, send items to the kitchen, split the bill, accept cash or card, issue receipts and complete an end-of-day reconciliation workflow.

The problem

Most POS systems stop at the sale. Restaurants need the whole shift.

A restaurant shift is not just order entry. Staff need table control, kitchen visibility, cash accountability, terminal pairing, split payments, receipts, refunds, discounts and a reliable close-of-day review. Cibus POS keeps those workflows tied to one order record.

Payment drawer

Cash, card and split payments in one controlled drawer.

Cibus POS brings cash, card-present, manual card recording, split payments, vouchers, coupons, tips, service charges and receipts into one flow. Payments stay attached to the order, the staff member, the terminal and the shift.

The floor, kitchen and till stay in sync.

A server can open a table, add items, send them to the kitchen, watch ticket status, split the bill and close the table while connected kitchen, staff and admin views use the same order state.

Manager control

Controls for the moments that cost money.

Refunds, voids, discounts, cash removals and large variances need accountability. Cibus POS supports role-aware actions, configurable manager approval, reason capture and shift-level reporting for operational review.

Configured drawer movements capture a reason and associate the staff and approving manager roles.
Refund and void control
Refunds and voids can require role-aware approval; both remain associated with the original order.
Discount approval
Percentage, fixed amount and campaign codes — escalated when above configured thresholds.
Staff-attributed actions
Configured sensitive actions can retain the staff role, terminal and shift context.
Shift variance review
Expected and actual cash can be reviewed, with threshold exceptions escalated before close.
The whole shift

Not a till that takes money. A POS that runs the service.

Floor, kitchen, payments, cash, staff context and end-of-day review — connected through one order and shift record.

Online-first by design

Clear offline state. No false confidence.

Connection lost
Offline — reconnect to continue

Payment actions are paused to protect the order record. Reconnect to resume taking payments and closing tables.

Automatic reconnect check

Cibus POS is online-first by design. Rather than queueing card payments locally and risking duplicate or unverified charges, the system surfaces a clear offline state and waits for the connection to come back.

This protects payment integrity and supports a clearer end-of-day review after service resumes.

In service

A table order, end to end.

A cashier opens T12, adds items, sends the order to the kitchen, requests a manager-controlled discount, splits payment, issues a receipt and completes the shift-close review.

Connected kitchen, payment, receipt and manager views update from the same order.

FAQ

POS questions, answered.

Can Cibus POS handle both table service and counter service?

Yes. Cibus POS supports table orders, counter orders, an active-orders list and a live floor view, so one configured till can support full-service, café and quick-service workflows.
