The only POS your restaurant & bar will ever need.Built from the floor up for hospitality.
Liquor Logic's POS handles every part of your service — from the moment a guest books a table to the moment they pay and leave. Floor plans, online orders, kitchen display, reservations, split bills, cash-up, and full analytics. All in one system. All in real time.
From R349/month (~$21 USD) · No contract · No credit card required · 30-day free trial
Sound familiar?
Running a restaurant or bar is already relentless. Your POS shouldn't be making it harder.
Paying too much for too little
Floor plans, KDS, loyalty and online-order integration locked behind expensive add-ons — on top of an already steep monthly fee.
Online orders causing chaos
Uber Eats orders coming in on a separate tablet, manually re-entered into your POS. Missed items, wrong tables, frustrated staff.
Bookings and take-away don't connect
Reservations in a spreadsheet, take-away on paper. No one knows how full tonight actually is until it's already overbooked.
No visibility into what's actually happening
No real-time sales breakdown, no staff performance data, no accurate cash-up. You're making decisions in the dark.
Everything your venue needs. Nothing you don't.
Not a retail POS bolted together and called a restaurant system. Liquor Logic's POS was designed specifically for hospitality — every feature reflects how restaurants and bars actually operate.
Interactive Floor Plan
Drag-and-drop table layout builder. Live colour-coded status per table — available or occupied. Multiple rooms and sections. Orders travel with the customer when tables are moved.
Online Order Integration
Online and takeaway orders flow directly into your POS dashboard. Accept, prepare, and mark as ready — all from the same screen your staff use for dine-in. No second tablet, no manual re-entry. Supports Uber Eats and other delivery platforms.
Reservations & Bookings
Full reservation management with party size tracking, arrival confirmation, and guest count dashboards. Filter by today, upcoming, or custom date range. Know your covers before service starts.
Kitchen Display System (KDS)
Go completely paperless. Orders route to kitchen screens with urgency colour-coding — normal, urgent (yellow), and overdue (pulsing red). Kitchen always knows what to make next and how long it's been waiting.
Unlimited Printer Stations
Configure as many printer stations as your venue requires — kitchen, bar, front-of-house, expo, pass, and more. Each station is fully customizable per POS terminal. Orders route automatically by product category.
Split Bills & Open Tabs
Split equally or by custom amount. Mix payment methods on the same table. Manage named customer tabs with credit limits. Partial payments when guests leave early.
Modifiers & Product Options
Required and optional modifier categories per product. Single-select and multi-select option groups. Instructions print exactly as entered on kitchen tickets — no misheard orders.
Barcode Scanning
Plug in any USB or wireless barcode scanner and it works instantly — no configuration required. Ideal for bottle shops, retail counters, and merchandise at your bar. Also supports manual barcode entry.
Sales Analytics & Cash-Up
End-of-shift cash-up with expected vs actual variance. Sales by product, by time of day, by staff member, and by discount type. All reports filterable and exportable — no separate reporting tool.
Flexible Payments
Cash with change calculation, card, Zapper, SnapScan, and charge-to-tab — all in one transaction. Accept tips at checkout. Mixed payment types on the same bill.
Biometric & PIN Authentication
Staff switch accounts at the POS using a numeric PIN pad or optional fingerprint scanner. Role-based access means waitrons can't process refunds, and only managers can void a closed transaction.
Live Inventory Sync
Every sale instantly deducts stock. Out-of-stock products are flagged on the POS and can be blocked from sale. Low-stock alerts fire the moment thresholds are hit — no end-of-day reconciliation.

Twelve People, Twelve Ways to Pay — One Terminal
Restaurants and bars live and die by table turn. When the bill's split six ways with three card taps and a tab left running, PayLogic keeps every payment tied to the right portion of the bill — automatically, at the table.
- Portable terminals that follow the table, not the till
- Each split portion reconciles to its own payment
- Tab balances close out by card without a second system

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a restaurant POS cost in South Africa?
Liquor Logic's Hospitality Management plan is R349/month flat — floor plans, online orders, reservations, KDS, split billing, cash-up and analytics included, with unlimited users and no lock-in contract. Comparable South African systems typically run from R800 to over R2,000 per month once the add-ons you actually need are included. See our full 2026 POS pricing guide for a market breakdown.
Is there a POS app for waitrons on iPad, iPhone or Android?
Can Liquor Logic run a bar-only venue or a bottle store?
Yes. The same platform powers dedicated bar setups — open tabs with credit limits, speed keys, and per-pour stock control — as well as barcode-driven bottle store retail with case-and-bottle inventory. See the dedicated Bar POS and Liquor Store POS pages.
Does Liquor Logic integrate directly with Uber Eats?
Yes. Uber Eats orders flow directly into the Online Orders section of the POS. Your team can manage all online and dine-in orders from one screen — no second device, no re-entry, no missed orders.
Can I use the fingerprint scanner with any hardware?
Biometric authentication requires a compatible fingerprint agent setup. Contact our team for hardware recommendations — the feature is optional and the POS works fully without it using PIN-based switching.
How many printer stations can I configure?
There is no limit — set up as many printer stations as you need: kitchen, bar, front-of-house and any others. Orders route to the correct printer automatically based on product category, so your kitchen and bar never receive the wrong tickets.
Can different staff members have different access levels?
Yes. Role-based permissions mean waitrons can place orders but not process refunds, supervisors can apply discounts up to a set threshold, and only owners or managers can void closed transactions or access full reports. All permission levels are fully configurable.
Can I run multiple POS terminals at the same venue?
Yes. Multiple POS terminals can run simultaneously with independent settings, floor plans, and printer configurations. All data flows into the same reporting dashboard, so you always have a consolidated view of your whole operation.
Does the POS integrate with accounting software?
Yes. POS sales sync directly to Xero, Sage, Pastel, and QuickBooks. Payment type breakdowns, tax totals, and sales summaries all flow through automatically — no manual journal entries required.

Lightspeed is a well-known international POS with restaurant plans from around $69–$399/month (USD). It supports floor plans, modifiers, and online ordering — but costs add up fast once you unlock reporting, loyalty, and accounting sync as paid extras. Liquor Logic delivers all of this at R349/month flat, with no per-user fees and local support you can actually reach.

Tall Order is a strong South African-built cloud POS with solid local integrations. The core difference: Tall Order is a dedicated POS product. Liquor Logic includes all the same POS capability plus a full production, inventory, CRM, distribution, and compliance platform — making it the better choice for any venue that produces or distributes liquor alongside running front-of-house operations.

Pilot POS is one of South Africa's most established hospitality systems — over 30 years in the market, strong in restaurants, hotels, and franchise groups. Pricing starts from around R1,800–R2,250/month with hardware typically bundled. Pilot is solid but traditional: on-premise, Windows-based, and at a premium price. Liquor Logic delivers cloud-native architecture, device flexibility, and a lower monthly cost.

Humble POS is a simple South African cloud POS aimed at small restaurants, cafes, and food trucks. It's easy to set up and runs on tablets — good for straightforward operations. However, it lacks online order integration, reservations, a kitchen display system, and any analytics beyond basic sales totals. Liquor Logic delivers a complete hospitality platform at a comparable price point with far more capability.

GAAP is one of South Africa's oldest POS providers (established 1985) with a strong presence in retail and some hospitality venues. It's a Windows-based, on-premise system — reliable, but not cloud-native. It lacks online order integration, reservations, and any modern delivery platform connectivity. For restaurants and bars needing a cloud-based system with live reporting and delivery integration, Liquor Logic is the more modern and cost-effective choice.

Oracle MICROS is one of the world's most recognised enterprise POS platforms, used in hotels, large chains, and stadiums globally. It is extremely feature-rich — but it's built and priced for enterprise: implementation requires dedicated IT and support teams, monthly contracts typically range from $300–$2,000+ USD, and it's overkill for most independent restaurants and bars. Liquor Logic delivers enterprise-grade POS features at a fraction of the cost with no implementation overhead.

Sally POS is a modern South African cloud POS for restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. It's easy to use with a clean interface and competitive pricing. However, like most standalone POS products, it has no online order integration, no reservations module, and limited analytics beyond basic reporting. Liquor Logic gives you all the same ease of use — plus the full suite of features a busy hospitality venue actually needs.
