Good hospitality feels effortless to the customer, but a lot happens behind the scenes. Tables need to be turned, orders need to reach the kitchen, payments need to be processed quickly, and staff need a system to manage the routine of each day.
Hospitality teams are under pressure to protect margins, control costs and keep service moving, while customers still expect a relaxed and personal experience.
Storefront™ is designed to support the practical details of service: counter sales, table orders, kitchen printing, menu changes, payments, service charge, split bills and reporting across trading areas.
Objective: The goal is not to replace hospitality with technology. It is to give staff more confidence at the points where service can otherwise begin to slow down.
Open tables, manage tabs, split bills and keep service clear from seating through to payment.
Send food and drink orders to the right printers or preparation areas so the team can stay focused during service.
Support integrated payments, Pay-at-Table, service charge and quick checkout for counter or table service.
Hospitality orders are rarely as simple as one product and one price. A coffee might need a milk choice, an extra shot and a takeaway cup. A main course might include cooking instructions, sides, sauces, allergy notes and a course position.
This section is the hospitality equivalent of size, colour and style in department store retail: the order details matter, and the EPOS needs to keep them organised.
Capture choices such as milk, sides, sauces, cooking preferences and extras at the point of order.
Help staff keep allergen and special instruction details visible where they matter.
Keep starters, mains, desserts and drinks clear for the kitchen and front-of-house team.
Route food, drinks and counter items to the right printer or preparation point.
When service is busy, small delays become obvious. Storefront™ helps keep the path from order-taking to preparation and payment easier for the team to follow.
That gives staff a clearer view of what is happening now, what needs preparing next and what still needs to be settled.
Open a table, tab or counter order and keep it visible.
Capture items, modifiers, notes and course detail accurately.
Send orders to kitchen, bar or counter preparation areas.
Split bills, apply service charge and take payment quickly.
Some dishes are limited by what the kitchen has prepared for that service. If there are 24 portions of lasagne available, Storefront™ can help the team count them down as each one is sold.
Servers can check availability before taking the order, which helps avoid the awkward walk back to the table when a customer has chosen something the kitchen can no longer serve.
Add the number prepared before service starts.
Each sale reduces the remaining quantity.
Staff can see when a dish is low or sold out.
Menus adapt. Ingredients change. Specials sell out. Waste affects margin. Storefront™ helps hospitality teams bring menu, ingredient and stock detail closer together so the back office has a better view of what service is really using.
For food businesses, allergen information is not just an admin task. It needs to be easy for staff to find, understand and communicate during service.
Understand what goes into menu items and prepared products.
Keep a better link between product records, kitchen use and stock movement.
Support clearer product information where allergen detail needs to be handled carefully.
Record wastage and gain a clearer view of what is being lost so you can manage your margins.
Hospitality payment is not always straightforward. Customers may split by cover, split by product, remove service charge, add a tip or pay at the table.
Storefront™ can help make those moments easier for staff by keeping the payment flow clear and giving the business a more consistent way to handle service charge and payment choices.
Businesses need systems that work together: payments, accounting, reporting, kitchen printing and customer accounts.
Storefront™ is designed to give businesses more choice, so the EPOS can fit around the way they serve customers rather than forcing the business into one fixed setup.
