Waiterio

Waiterio is a point-of-sale system for restaurants and bars that manages orders, tables, menus, staff, payments, discounts, and sales reports. It can send orders to the kitchen and generate invoices. Its restaurant website builder accepts online orders and combines them with in-person orders on the same dashboard. Websites can support pickup and delivery scheduling, advance ordering, multiple locations, and contactless delivery requests; a Google Maps integration can show the restaurant’s location. Customers can scan table QR codes to view menus and place orders. Waiterio accepts cash, vouchers, and card payments, using an external terminal or supported phones for card transactions. An external PCI-compliant payment gateway handles card payments, which are not stored or processed on Waiterio’s servers. The system supports thermal printers using ESC POS; documentation recommends Wi-Fi printers and says parallel and serial connections are unsupported. The free plan allows up to 100 orders per month, with each table served counting as one order. Paid plans start at $39 per month for 600 monthly orders.
