The challenge

What does a café or quick-service restaurant need from a POS?

Speed above everything. A quick-service counter needs to take an order, apply a combo, take payment and get the ticket to the kitchen in seconds — and keep doing it when the internet drops.

It also needs to take orders that never reach the counter: QR orders from tables, pickup orders from your website and messages on WhatsApp, all landing in the same kitchen queue.

What you need

  • Keyboard shortcuts, menu search and held orders at the counter
  • Kitchen display instead of paper tickets
  • Combo deals and breakfast/lunch menus that switch on a schedule
  • QR menu and online pickup orders
  • Loyalty points so regulars come back
  • Offline mode so a dropped connection never stops sales

How it works

A day at a Zestia café.

From opening to close, every order, table and delivery runs through one system.
