The basics

What is a restaurant POS system?

A restaurant POS (point of sale) system is the software your cashiers and waiters use to take orders, send them to the kitchen and collect payment. A modern restaurant POS also tracks tables, customers, discounts and cash, and feeds every sale into your reports and stock.

Zestia POS runs as a native app on Windows PCs and Android tablets. It handles walk-in, dine-in, takeaway, delivery and online orders on one screen, prints receipts and kitchen tickets, and keeps working offline — syncing every order once the connection returns.

Offline mode

No internet? Keep selling.

The menu, prices and taxes are stored on the device. Orders taken offline are queued in a local database and sent to the cloud when the connection returns — each order carries a unique ID, so a retry never creates a duplicate.

  • Menu and pricing cached on every till
  • Sync indicator shows exactly what is still waiting to upload
  • Duplicate-safe sync: an order is recorded once, however many retries
  • Receipts and kitchen tickets keep printing offline

Payments & control

Every way your customers pay

Take cash, card, Stripe and local wallets including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, SadaPay, NayaPay and Raast QR — or split one bill across several. Sensitive actions need a manager’s approval on the spot.

  • Split payments across methods on a single order
  • Order-level and item-level discounts with permission-based caps
  • Manager approval for restricted actions, right at the till
  • Customer lookup by phone with loyalty points preview
  • Cash drawer sessions with opening float and variance
