Restaurant POS software in Kowloon
Kowloon packs dense shopping streets, malls and street markets into a small area, serving residents and visitors late into the evening. Retailers carry many small, fast-moving lines and depend on quick checkout, with Octopus, FPS and wallet payments taken alongside cash.
For a restaurant or café in Kowloon, that means a POS has to track many small fast-moving lines through long, busy trading hours.

What EliteTeQ gives back to your restaurant
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a restaurant or café.
Costs that follow the market
Every purchase updates your food cost, and a bad delivery goes back to the supplier and off their bill.
Reordering without overstocking →Bills that add up at the end of the night
Every table’s bill stays open until paid, and a refunded dish is recorded properly instead of taken from the drawer.
The sales reports worth running →See what goes in the bin
Spoiled ingredients and sent-back plates are written off with a reason, so stock stays true and you see where the waste comes from.
Where lost stock really goes →Ingredients where the service is
Send stock from the main kitchen to a branch that is running short before dinner, with both counts right.
Running several branches and stores →Waiters serve, managers approve
Each person sees what their job needs. Voids and discounts need a manager, and only you see food cost and margins.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every void has a name and a time
Each waiter and cashier has a login, so any gap in the bills or the stock is traced to the shift and the person.
Catching shrinkage early →Supplier orders without phone tag
Order ingredients and confirm deliveries with suppliers, and send receipts to guests on WhatsApp.
Every ingredient accounted for
Bought, cooked and sold, transferred or wasted: the full story of every ingredient.
Reading stock turnover →Books that keep up with service
Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by branch and dish.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Waiters and kitchen staff in one place
Staff records, roles and sales by waiter sit next to your stock and sales, not in a separate file.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep taking orders when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Still running your restaurant on order pads?

What POS system is best for restaurants and cafés in Hong Kong?
The best fit in Hong Kong 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 HKD and keeps working offline. It records Octopus, card and cash against each sale and keeps complete sales records for your accountant.
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 customers pay with Octopus?
Yes. EliteTeQ records Octopus, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method is accounted for and reconciles 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 Kowloon?
Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Kowloon 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 Hong Kong.
How much does restaurant POS software cost in Kowloon?
