What is restaurant POS software?
Restaurant POS software runs service end-to-end: it seats tables, takes orders, routes them to the kitchen as KOTs, tracks preparation on kitchen screens, produces bills (including splits), and records settlement. Modern systems add QR self-ordering for guests, reservations, delivery tracking and analytics on what the menu actually earns.
What is a kitchen display system (KDS)?
A KDS replaces paper KOT printers with a screen in the kitchen: new orders appear the moment the waiter (or the guest, via QR) confirms them, cooks bump items as they finish, and priority flags reorder the queue. In Flocci Restaurant POS the KDS is realtime — the kitchen sees the order before the waiter walks back.
How does QR table ordering work?
Each table gets its own QR code. A guest scans it, sees the live menu on their phone, and orders — no app install, no login. The order carries the table number, lands on the kitchen display instantly, and appears on the table's running bill. Staff stop being order-takers and start being hosts.
How should split billing work?
Guests should be able to split by item ('I had the pasta') or by equal shares, and settle each part in a different mode — cash, UPI, card. Flocci Restaurant POS does both in one settle flow, so a table of six doesn't hold up the floor doing arithmetic.
How much does restaurant POS software cost in India?
Most mainstream vendors don't publish prices. 2026 buyer research and directory listings commonly cite roughly ₹3,000–12,000 per outlet per month for full-featured mainstream platforms (plus 18% GST, one-time setup of ₹5,000–15,000 and hardware), while budget tools start near ₹300–2,000 per month. Flocci Restaurant POS is priced differently: credit-based — top up Flocci credits, pay for what you use, no per-outlet monthly lock-in, free 14-day demo first.
Can one system handle dine-in, delivery and reservations together?
Yes, and it should — separate tools mean the kitchen juggles three queues. In Flocci Restaurant POS dine-in KOTs, delivery orders (with agent assignment) and reservations all flow through the same menu, kitchen screens and reports.
Where does AI actually help a restaurant?
Not at the stove — in the menu. Flocci's AI reads your recent sales and produces a menu-engineering read: which dishes carry the night, which deserve rework or retirement, which items pair well enough to bundle, and where pricing has room. Decisions from your own data, not gut feel.
