More than POS
Why restaurants need more than POS
A POS can record orders and payments, but restaurant operations involve many moving parts.
Restaurants need to manage table service, kitchen preparation, order status, bill splitting, QR ordering, takeaway orders, ingredient stock, recipe cost, supplier prices, staff attendance and daily performance. When these areas are handled in separate systems, owners lose visibility and staff lose time.
Table orders and kitchen preparation can become disconnected.
Paper dockets and verbal updates can cause confusion.
Bill splitting can slow down service.
Ingredient and supplier costs can change without pricing review.
Staff attendance and access permissions need control.
Sales reports alone do not explain profit.
Tab2Kit is designed to help restaurants connect the operating flow behind each sale.
Orders
Manage restaurant orders from multiple channels.
Restaurants receive orders through different workflows: staff-entered table orders, counter orders, takeaway orders, QR ordering and online ordering. The challenge is keeping those orders connected to service, kitchen preparation and reports.
Tab2Kit helps bring restaurant order channels into one operating flow.
Table Orders
Connect orders to specific tables and service status.
QR Orders
Allow customers to order from a QR code at the table.
Takeaway Orders
Manage takeaway orders from entry to preparation and completion.
Online Orders
Support direct online ordering connected to restaurant operations.
Staff-Entered Orders
Allow staff to enter orders through the POS checkout screen or table service workflow.
This helps reduce fragmented order handling during busy service.
Kitchen workflow
Connect front-of-house orders to kitchen preparation.
Restaurant service depends on clear communication between the floor and the kitchen. When orders are passed through paper dockets, verbal updates or disconnected screens, mistakes and delays become more likely.
Tab2Kit includes a cloud-based kitchen display or bump screen that can run on any laptop or computer with internet.

Tables and bills
Manage table service, bills and payment workflow.
Restaurants need practical table management and bill handling. Staff may need to add items to an open table, check order status, split a bill, process payment or review unpaid orders.
Tab2Kit connects table management with order handling and payment workflow.

Inventory and recipe cost
Control ingredients, recipes and food cost.
Restaurant profit is strongly affected by ingredient usage, recipe cost, wastage, supplier price changes and portion control. A menu item may sell well but still hurt margin if food cost is too high.
Tab2Kit supports ingredient-level inventory, BOM, recipe costing, wastage tracking, expiry date tracking, batch/lot information and perishable stock alerts.

Instead of only knowing what sold, Tab2Kit helps you understand what each sale costs.
Suppliers
Manage restaurant suppliers and purchasing.
Restaurants often buy from multiple suppliers for meat, seafood, vegetables, dairy, dry goods, sauces, beverages, packaging and other operating inputs. Supplier prices can change quickly, and those changes can affect menu margin.
Tab2Kit helps manage supplier and purchasing workflows.

Connection between supplier cost and recipe cost
When supplier purchasing connects to inventory and recipes, owners can better understand how input costs affect profit.
Staff
Manage restaurant staff activity and access.
Restaurant teams can include floor staff, kitchen staff, managers, cashiers and owners. Each role may need different system access, and attendance needs to be recorded clearly.
Tab2Kit supports staff management features including time attendance, work summaries, attendance calculation and role-based permissions.

Performance
Understand restaurant performance beyond sales totals.
Restaurant owners need to know more than how much revenue was made. They need to understand menu performance, stock movement, wastage, supplier cost, staff activity and profit pressure.
Tab2Kit supports daily, monthly and yearly reports, menu-item analysis and cost-control visibility.
