Restaurant POS System

Take the payment, print the kitchen ticket, deplete stock by recipe and issue the SRI invoice as one operation. ISM POS, built for cafés and restaurants in Ecuador.

The Business Challenge

Almost any register records a sale. What breaks a shift is what happens in the thirty seconds after it.

Current Pain Points:

  • Invoicing Elsewhere: The register takes the money, but the invoice is issued in another system, with another numbering series
  • Shouted Orders: Orders are called out or handwritten, so the kitchen hears them late or hears them wrong
  • Stock by Eye: Nobody knows the real cost of a dish or how much is walking out the door
  • Suppliers over WhatsApp: Orders go out by message and the purchase invoice turns up weeks later
  • Till That Won't Balance: The shift closes short and there is no way to find the moment it stopped balancing
  • Month-End Scramble: The accountant rebuilds the fiscal side from scattered paper at the end of every month

What Success Looks Like:

  • The sale and the electronic invoice are a single act, with the SRI's authorization behind it
  • Each order prints at its kitchen station the moment it's committed
  • Every sale depletes its recipe's ingredients
  • Real cost per dish, with waste and variance measured
  • Purchase orders confirmed by the supplier inside the system
  • Shift close with a Z report, a cash count and a checklist

Complete Restaurant POS System

ISM POS brings the register, the kitchen, inventory by recipe, SRI invoicing, shifts and analytics into one system, with each sale doing all of its work at once.

Core Features

Register and Sales

Line items, modifiers, voids with approval, payment methods, tips and walk-in customers

Kitchen: Screen and Ticket

A kitchen screen per station, 86-ing an item, recalling an order, and each order printed at its station the moment it's committed

Inventory by Recipe

Ingredients, recipes and bills of materials; each sale depletes what it consumed, with real cost, waste, expiry and variance

Analytics

Sales by hour and by product, a demand calendar, menu engineering and comparison across locations

SRI Invoicing

An authorized electronic invoice behind every sale, on the same fiscal engine as ISM Faktura

Shifts and Procedures

Open, close, Z report, cash count, and the checklists a shift is meant to work through

Technical Architecture

On the Floor

  • Register and kitchen screen: run in the browser, on the screens the venue already has
  • Kitchen ticket: printed on the kitchen printer at each station
  • For the diner: receipt archive, menu discovery and ratings, without installing anything
  • Seven roles: cashier, kitchen, owner, accountant, supplier, head office and diner, each with its own access

AWS Serverless Backend

  • Lambda: ten Node.js services behind every sale: register, kitchen, inventory, fiscal, shifts, procurement, suppliers, head office, analytics and diner
  • DynamoDB: sales, checks, recipes and stock, with stock derived from what each sale consumed
  • SRI fiscal engine: the same one as ISM Faktura, under the same SRI provider registration: one numbering series, one certificate
  • Withholdings and the monthly annex: issued from what the venue already invoiced and purchased

Native Apps for Your Venue

Beyond what ISM POS includes, we build native iOS and Android apps for your restaurant group, written in Swift and Kotlin on top of ISM POS.

Register and Waiter App

Take the order at the table and charge at the till from a phone or tablet, with the same menu, modifiers and roles as ISM POS

Kitchen Display App

Each station sees its orders as they're committed, marks them ready and tells the floor when a dish runs out

Owner App

Sales, shifts and stock for every branch in the owner's pocket, with the alerts that matter during service

Designed Offline-First

Service carries on when the connection drops: orders keep being taken and recorded on the device, and everything syncs with ISM POS as soon as the connection returns.

We build them to fit your venue or group; ISM POS as delivered runs in the browser. How we build native apps →
