Quick Service Restaurant POS Software
Take the order on a touch screen, price the add-ons, suspend the sale to send it to the kitchen screen, then recall it at the register to take payment. One ticket, rung up and paid at the counter.
POS tools built around how your counter actually works
Counter service lives or dies on throughput. PHP Point Of Sale pairs a touch register with a kitchen display, so an order reaches the line the moment it is suspended and the board — not a spike of paper tickets — is what tells the kitchen how much work is still outstanding.
Counter service: the order is rung up at a register and paid at a register. No floor plan, no seat numbers, no separate checks.

Why these counters choose PHP POS
The kitchen sees it immediately
Ringing an order up and suspending it is what puts it on the kitchen display. Each card carries the customer, the sale type, every line with its modifiers, and a timer that turns amber and then red against thresholds you set yourself.
Advance the ticket with one tap
Order buttons move the whole ticket through New, Preparing, Ready and Delivered, and every screen watching the board picks the change up on its refresh, or the moment it happens where real-time updates are available. Delivered orders leave the board on their own.
Options that price themselves
Modifier groups attach priced choices to an item — extra shot, no onions, go large — and each selection is added to the line, printed on the receipt and shown on the kitchen card. Combos are item kits, so selling one deducts every component from stock.

Where PHP Point Of Sale fits
A good fit if
- Your customers order at a counter, a window, or a truck, and pay there.
- You want the order on a kitchen screen as soon as the cashier suspends the sale, without licensing a second system.
- You also sell packaged goods, beans, merchandise, or gift cards, and want them counted in the same inventory.
If the order is taken at the counter, chairs are fine — twelve tables and a patio are fine. What matters is where the order is taken, not whether people sit down to eat it.
Not a fit if
- Staff take the order where the customer is sitting, then keep adding to the same open ticket until the customer is ready to pay. PHP Point Of Sale has no ticket that stays open against a place in the room.
- You need a floor plan, seat numbers, or separate checks per person. PHP Point Of Sale has none of those.
- If that is how you serve, a full-service system will suit you better than we will.
