POS for food court vendors
A food court stall has a few metres of counter, a menu board and a queue that arrives all at once when the offices empty at noon. SeroPOS keeps that queue moving with a quick-service grid at the counter, a kitchen display behind it and a screen facing the customer that shows the order as it is rung.
Food courts in SeroPOS
Quick-service grid
Large buttons, sizes as separate taps and pay buttons under the cart keep each sale to a few seconds.
Kitchen display
A KDS screen behind the counter shows each ticket's age and an All Day count of what to cook.
Customer-facing display
A second screen shows items, extras and the total as they are rung, then a thank-you.
Name on the order
Add the customer's name so it prints on the ticket for calling at the counter.
Small-footprint hardware
Run the till on a tablet, a Windows PC or a Global Payments T650P handheld.
Self-order kiosk
A kiosk takes card orders at the side of the counter while staff serve the queue.
Built for the noon queue
QSR Mode lays the menu out as a grid of large buttons, with your combos and best sellers in the top rows. Variations expand into their own buttons, so a small and large plate are one tap each, and the cart sits beside the grid with Cash, Debit and Credit underneath. A card sale goes straight to the terminal with no extra screen, and the receipt prints as it is approved.
Turn on Quantity First if customers often order several of the same item. Make the pay buttons Large or Extra Large by long-pressing a money button, so staff hit them without looking. Modifier Popup can be switched off if most orders are taken as listed, which saves a tap on every sale when the queue is longest.
A screen the customer can read
Food court customers stand at the counter watching you ring their order. Multi Monitor turns a second screen into a customer display showing Your Order with each item, modifier, discount and the total due, then Thank You when it is paid. Use a second monitor on Windows or Mac, an HDMI or USB-C screen on Android, or any browser on the stall's Wi-Fi with the built-in web display.
Between orders, a Media or Slideshow layout plays your photos and short videos of combos and specials, each shown for 2 to 30 seconds. The split layout keeps the current order on one side and promotions on the other. Customers who can see their order catch mistakes before the food is plated, which saves remakes at the busiest time.
The kitchen behind the counter
Put a tablet or small PC behind the counter in KDS Mode. Each ticket shows its age; counters show how many are on time, need attention after eight minutes or are late after fifteen. Staff tick items as they finish and tap SERVE to bump. The All Day panel adds up everything still to cook, which lets one cook batch a dozen orders of the same dish.
A customer name typed in the cart header prints with the order, so staff can call it at pickup without shouting order numbers across the court. Recall brings back orders bumped in the last two hours. If the stall uses a printer instead of a screen, KOT Mapping routes items by category, so hot food and drinks print where they are made.
Small space, simple close
Food court stalls rarely have room for a full counter setup. SeroPOS runs on a tablet with a Bluetooth or network printer, a Windows PC, or a Global Payments T650P handheld with Terminal Plus, where the till and the card terminal are the same device. A self-order kiosk on a tablet stand can take card orders beside the counter.
At close, run the DSR for bills, gross and net sales, discounts, payouts and payments by method, and print it as a Z report. The back office emails the daily sales report every night, and reports export from the back office if your landlord asks for monthly sales figures. Sales keep saving if the mall Wi-Fi drops, and upload when it returns.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best POS layout for a food court stall?
QSR Mode on a tablet or PC is built for it: a dense button grid, sizes as separate buttons and Cash, Debit and Credit under the cart. Pair it with a kitchen display behind the counter and a customer display facing the queue.
Can customers see their order on a screen?
Yes. Multi Monitor drives a second monitor on Windows or Mac, an HDMI or USB-C screen on Android, or a web display any browser on your Wi-Fi can open. It shows the order and total live, and plays your photos and videos between orders.
Can I call orders by name?
Yes. Enter the customer's name in the cart header before payment. It prints on the kitchen ticket and receipt, so staff can call it when the order is ready. Saved customers can be looked up by name or phone on the home screen.
Does SeroPOS keep working if the mall Wi-Fi drops?
Yes. Sales save on the till and upload when the connection returns, and kitchen tickets keep printing to any printer the till can still reach, such as a Bluetooth or USB printer. Card payments need the terminal to reach its processor, and reports such as the DSR need internet.
Can I give my landlord a monthly sales report?
Yes. The back office keeps every sale, and reports such as the Daily Sales Report, Profit and Loss and Sell Payment Report can be run for any date range by location and printed or exported. The daily sales report can also be emailed automatically each night.
