## Restaurant POS software in Eldoret

Eldoret, in Uasin Gishu County: Kenya's agricultural breadbasket and athletics capital. Trade concentrates in Nairobi and along the Mombasa corridor, with county towns served by traders who restock weekly from the capital. Mobile money reaches further than banking does, so even rural shops settle by phone. Month-end and school-term dates move retail demand more than any promotion.

- **Currency:** KES
- **How customers pay:** M-Pesa (STK Push & Till/Paybill), cards, and bank transfers
- **M-Pesa:** Integrated: STK Push and Till Number
- **Tax:** KRA eTIMS invoices
- **Connectivity:** Keeps selling offline, syncs when back online

## Built for the way restaurants and cafés actually run

**Orders lost the moment it gets busy?** Waiters take orders at the table on a phone or tablet, and each one reaches the kitchen as a ticket, in order, with nothing to carry or misread.

**Tables merged and bills crossed?** A live floor plan shows every table. Move, merge and split tables with their items following them, and split the bill by seat, item or amount.

**The kitchen cooking from shouted orders?** No onions, sauce on the side, well done: every request shows clearly on the kitchen screen or ticket, grouped by course.

**Not sure what a dish really costs?** Build each dish from its recipe. Purchases update ingredient costs, every dish sold takes its ingredients off stock, and food cost shows dish by dish.

**Chicken gone at eight in the evening?** Ingredient stock falls with every dish sold, with low-stock alerts before service and supplier orders confirmed on WhatsApp.

**Can’t leave the restaurant for a night?** Sales, covers, voids and food cost for every branch are live on your phone, and voids and discounts need a manager’s role.

## What EliteTeQ gives back to your restaurant

**Know what is in every cold room** (Stock · warehouses & branches) Live stock of meat, vegetables, rice and drinks in every branch, without counting by hand before service.

**Costs that follow the market** (Purchases · purchase returns) Every purchase updates your food cost, and a bad delivery goes back to the supplier and off their bill.

**Bills that add up at the end of the night** (Sales · sales returns) Every table’s bill stays open until paid, and a refunded dish is recorded properly instead of taken from the drawer.

**See what goes in the bin** (Damages) Spoiled ingredients and sent-back plates are written off with a reason, so stock stays true and you see where the waste comes from.

**Ingredients where the service is** (Stock transfers) Send stock from the main kitchen to a branch that is running short before dinner, with both counts right.

**Waiters serve, managers approve** (Roles & permissions) Each person sees what their job needs. Voids and discounts need a manager, and only you see food cost and margins.

**Every void has a name and a time** (Multi-user · audit logs) Each waiter and cashier has a login, so any gap in the bills or the stock is traced to the shift and the person.

**Supplier orders without phone tag** (WhatsApp) Order ingredients and confirm deliveries with suppliers, and send receipts to guests on WhatsApp.

**Every ingredient accounted for** (Product movement reports) Bought, cooked and sold, transferred or wasted: the full story of every ingredient.

**Books that keep up with service** (Accounting) Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by branch and dish.

**Waiters and kitchen staff in one place** (HRM) Staff records, roles and sales by waiter sit next to your stock and sales, not in a separate file.

**Your business in your pocket, online or off** (Cloud · offline) Check every branch from your phone, and keep taking orders with M-Pesa when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What POS system is best for restaurants and cafés in Kenya?

The best fit in Kenya is POS software that runs your tables, kitchen and stock, not just payments. EliteTeQ keeps a live floor plan with sections, sends orders to kitchen display screens, splits bills any way, deducts ingredients by recipe, prices in KES and keeps working offline. It integrates M-Pesa (STK Push and Till Number) and produces KRA eTIMS invoices.

### Can waiters take orders at the table?

Yes. Orders are taken on a phone or tablet at the table and go straight to the kitchen as a ticket, with every request.

### Can I merge and split tables, and set up sections?

Yes. The floor plan is organised into sections, and you can move, merge and split tables with their items following them. Bills can be split by seat, item or amount at payment.

### Does it send orders to the kitchen by course?

Yes. Orders appear on kitchen display screens (KDS), grouped by course with every request, and are marked done as they go out. Kitchen tickets can print too.

### Does EliteTeQ track food cost?

Yes. Dishes are built from recipes, so every sale deducts its ingredients and shows its food cost, using the latest cost from your purchases.

### Can I control voids and discounts?

Yes. Each person has their own login and role, voids and discounts need a manager’s role, and every change is recorded in the audit log.

### Can I connect M-Pesa to my POS?

Yes. EliteTeQ integrates M-Pesa STK Push and Till Number, so an M-Pesa payment is matched to the sale it paid for, and cash, card and M-Pesa totals reconcile at closing.

### Can I run more than one restaurant?

Yes. Each branch keeps its own stock and sales, transfers are confirmed on arrival, and you see everything from one account.

### Does it work offline?

Yes. You keep taking orders, sending tickets and printing bills when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.

### Can I see which dishes make the most money?

Yes. Recipe costs and sales together show the margin on every dish, by branch and service.

### Can guests order by scanning a QR code at the table?

Yes. Each table gets its own dynamic QR code. Guests scan it to see the menu and place their order, which reaches the kitchen screen with the table number, so waiters spend less time running back and forth.

### Is there support for restaurants and cafés in Eldoret?

Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Eldoret are done remotely, over WhatsApp, phone and screen-share, so you talk to a real person without waiting for a visit. Prices, payments and tax records are set up for Kenya.
