POS system for restaurants – table plan, kitchen display and card payment in one system

From the first drink to the daily close, everything in a restaurant runs through the POS: ordering at the table, courses to the kitchen, split bills and card payment. Digital POS solutions ensure smooth processes, optimised ordering and a modern payment process – all at the touch of a button. Whether a small bistro or a fine-dining restaurant: a digital hospitality POS saves time, increases sales and makes your business day much more comfortable.

In short: In a restaurant, table orders, kitchen and payment run through one system: service staff take orders on mobile devices at the table, the kitchen sees everything on the monitor, and in the evening the figures go to your tax advisor via DATEV export. We set everything up and show it to you on site.

POS solution with QR code, mobile ordering & card payment: how it works

Modern hospitality POS systems combine digital ordering processes, seamless payment processing and transparent data analysis in one system. Mobile ordering solutions eliminate unnecessary walking, which noticeably speeds up your service. Combined with ordering via QR code, your service becomes not only more efficient but also more attractive for digitally minded guests.

When it comes to payment, too, the new generation of restaurant POS systems offers real advantages: with an integrated card terminal the payment process by card directly via the POS system – secure, fast and user-friendly. Thanks to seamless integration, there's no manual reconciliation between till and card reader, which minimises operating errors and speeds up the entire payment process. Whether contactless payment via NFC, payment by credit or debit card or modern mobile payment solutions such as Apple Pay or Google Pay – guests enjoy maximum flexibility when paying. For staff this is a huge relief in daily service, as less time is lost on payment processing and more time remains for the guest. At the same time, restaurant owners benefit from precise bookkeeping and fully documented transactions – a plus for transparency and DATEV-compatible cash book keeping.

Kitchen display instead of ticket rail – how it works in the kitchen

Modern POS systems with an integrated kitchen display are increasingly finding their way into restaurants and accompanying everyday hospitality work. Instead of handwritten notes or printed paper tickets, all orders arrive digitally in the kitchen automatically and in real time. The kitchen display shows every order clearly structured – including special requests, extras and changes. This way your kitchen team always keeps track, even with a high volume of orders. Kitchen displays reduce misunderstandings, avoid mistakes and ensure smooth processes.

Another advantage: orders can be sorted by priority and displayed in different colours for starters, main courses and desserts. Thanks to the direct connection to the POS system, orders are clearly structured and the system also shows you the time elapsed since the order came in. Communication between service and kitchen becomes more efficient, and customer satisfaction rises thanks to shorter waiting times and correct dishes.

Restaurants with high footfall or changing menus in particular benefit from this digital solution – the kitchen display is not just a modern alternative to paper but a crucial building block for efficient processes, quality assurance and digitalisation in hospitality.

Course control, splitting tables, voids and cash-up

Course control: The server takes the whole menu at once and calls up the courses one by one. The kitchen sees the starter immediately and the main course only when the table is ready – without shouting and without a cold main course.

Splitting and merging tables: Individual items or guests are moved to a separate bill, tables merged for larger groups or moved to another table – without re-entering everything.

Traceable voids: Every void is saved with the server and time, with a reason if you wish, and is secured via the TSE. With permissions you decide who may void – for example only the shift manager.

Cash-up: At the end of the day, the POS creates the daily close (Z report) with sales by payment method, VAT rate and server. Each server settles their cash takings, and the figures go into the digital cash book and via DATEV export to your tax adviser.

Why a digital POS system is indispensable in your restaurant

A classic till is no longer enough to meet the growing demands of hospitality. The modern POS solution for restaurants must be flexible, legally compliant and intuitive to use – while connecting all areas of your business.

With a digital POS system you benefit from:

  • Mobile ordering: take orders directly at the table with a tablet or smartphone – fast, error-free and efficient.
  • QR code ordering: guests order themselves via QR code without waiting. Ideal for outdoor areas or peak times.
  • Card payment at the table: accept all common means of payment – contactless, by card or mobile payment – directly at the table.
  • Kitchen display system: digital display of orders in the kitchen ensures optimal processes and fewer errors.
  • DATEV export: transfer your POS data automatically and securely to your tax adviser – compliant with GoBD and tax office requirements.

Less work at the end of the month.

DATEV export & reports – more control, less effort

Legal requirements in hospitality continue to rise, which also means more bureaucracy in your bookkeeping. A decisive advantage of modern restaurant POS systems is the seamless connection to bookkeeping. With the integrated DATEV export function, you transfer all tax-relevant data automatically and in an audit-proof way to your tax adviser – without manual rework and without sources of error.

In addition, digital POS systems offer powerful analysis and reporting tools with which you always keep an eye on your restaurant's business development. You can generate detailed reports, including:

  • Daily and weekly sales by period, item or product group
  • Staff reports including working hours, sales and voids
  • Product analyses to identify bestsellers and optimise your range
  • Tip statistics for fair distribution in the team
  • Stock and cost-of-goods reports to spot shortages early

These functions enable data-based decisions, optimise your processes and increase the profitability of your hospitality business in the long term. A POS system with DATEV interface and reporting is therefore an indispensable tool for modern restaurateurs who focus on efficiency, transparency and growth.

What restaurants say about Kassenprofis

Real voices from restaurateurs we have advised and set up.

“My name is Thomas Fehrle, and I have been the landlord of St. Valentin in Freiburg for over 23 years. With up to 500 guests a day, we need a POS system that really works. After many experiences with other systems, I found the ideal solution at Kassenprofis: Lightspeed with a main till and four mobile terminals. What matters most to me is the fast, personal support – at Kassenprofis I always have a competent contact who helps immediately.”

Thomas Fehrle · Waldrestaurant St. Valentin, Freiburg

“I'm Bilal from Restaurant Jaffa. I met Kassenprofis at the trade fair in Stuttgart. For us, a good POS system and a local partner were crucial. Julian from Kassenprofis showed us on site how the system meets our requirements and set everything up perfectly for us. The reservation tool is connected to the POS system and nicely integrated into our website. We are very satisfied and recommend Kassenprofis to every restaurateur! – You are really in good hands here.”

“Hello, I'm Silke from Mediterrane Leidenschaft in Staufen. Since 2020 we have been running a small trattoria specialising in pinsa and gluten-free pinsa. After two POS solutions that didn't really fit, we switched to Kassenprofis – and are extremely happy! The fast, personal support and the regional proximity are particularly convincing. Our new system with handhelds saves time and works perfectly. Kassenprofis was the best decision – we can only recommend them!”

Silke Raia · Mediterrane Leidenschaft, Staufen

“We run a very large restaurant and, including our outdoor area, serve over 300 seats on 1,000 m². With the long walking distances this involves, we need an intelligent POS system and a first-class network. With Kassenprofis we get all of this from one source.”
