The till that keeps working when the queue doesn't stop.
Order entry, kitchen tickets, real EFTPOS, split bills, and a till that keeps taking cash when the internet drops — on a tablet you already own. The same till for a café counter, a restaurant floor, a bar, or a takeaway window.
No card. Cancel in one click. Runs in a browser on hardware you already own.
Say the order. The till does the rest.
Staff tap a table and talk. Items and options go straight onto the order, and saying “send to kitchen” or “pay now” does exactly that. Fewer taps, fewer mistakes, eyes on the guest.
- 1Tap a table, then 🎤 Say
On the till, an iPhone, or the DineHopper Staff app. No headset, no extra hardware.
- 2Say it like you would to a barista
“Two flat whites, one oat with an extra shot, and a ham toastie.” Sizes, milks and extras go on with the item. Say it again to fix it.
- 3“Send to kitchen” or “Pay now”
The till asks “Send to kitchen?” out loud and listens for yes, pay or no. The buttons are still there when it is loud.
- Flat white$5.00
- Flat whiteOat milk · Extra shot$6.50
- Ham toastie$12.00
The till, on screen.
Filmed off the real product, not a mockup. Sound on — there is a voice explaining what you are looking at.
Swipe sideways for the rest.
One order, start to close.
Every step below happens inside DineHopper. Nothing is typed in twice, and nothing is handed to another app.
The total on screen is always the real total. Nobody adds it up by hand, and nobody finds out at the register.
No docket printer between the till and the pass. The ticket exists the moment the order does.
The bill only closes when it is actually covered — not when someone guesses it is close enough.

A dead connection stops being the moment service falls apart. It syncs the second it is back.
Nobody re-counts the drawer from memory the next morning wondering what happened.
One till, 28 things that come with it.
POS Terminal is one add-on, not eight separate purchases. Everything below is switched on the moment you add it.
- The till itself — table map or straight takeaway/delivery, tiles and modifiers, real tipping
- Hands-free voice ordering — say the items and options, then “send to kitchen” or “pay now”; the till asks “Send to kitchen?” and listens
- Retail Till — a separate barcode-scan register for straight product sales by each or by weight, with stock counts, gift cards and laybys, plus self-checkout and scan and go for shops, no table or kitchen flow
- Kitchen Display — tickets on a tablet per station, no docket printer
- Self-Order Kiosk — a tablet by the door customers use themselves; staff still take the payment
- Pay at the table — guests scan the table code and pay on their phone (once Stripe is connected), or order and pay at the counter
- Happy hour and scheduled prices — set by day, time and category, applied on the till, table code, kiosk and ordering page
- Register open and close — count the float in, count the drawer out, with a variance record and a cash reserve

What people ask about the till.
Can staff take an order by voice?
Yes. Tap a table, then 🎤 Say, and say the order the way you would say it to a barista. Items, sizes, milks and extras go straight on from your own menu. Say “send to kitchen” or “pay now”, or answer yes when the till asks “Send to kitchen?”. Payment still asks staff for card or cash. It works on the till, an iPhone and the DineHopper Staff app, and the buttons stay there for a loud room.
What happens if the internet drops mid-service?
Cash sales keep going, and a card keyed on the card machine in standalone mode is recorded against the sale. Kitchen dockets print marked offline, receipts print and the drawer opens through the DineHopper Till app, and a tablet with no printer prints through a linked till. Offline orders get their own numbers per register. The register can be counted and closed, and DineHopper works out the variance once the sales are sent. Refunds need a live connection.
Can we run bar tabs on a card?
Yes. Opening a tab holds an amount on the customer’s card on the card machine. Rounds go on the tab, the hold can be topped up, and closing the tab charges the final amount with any tip. A tab with nothing on it releases the hold.
Can customers take cash out?
Yes. Switch cash out on for each card machine your bank has enabled, and set a limit. The cash is charged to the card with the sale, the drawer opens once the card machine approves, and the register count takes it into account.
What if a card terminal stops working?
Name a second terminal as the backup. If the first one is off, offline or not paired, the sale moves to the backup and the till tells the cashier which terminal to use. If a terminal does not answer, nothing is moved until that payment is settled, so a guest is never charged twice.
Can a big table pay in parts?
Yes. A table with several bills can be split between guests or paid in any amounts. Each part is recorded, and the last part settles every bill on the table.
Can we pause Uber Eats from the till?
Yes. The Uber Eats tab shows whether the store is taking orders, and pauses it for 30 minutes, an hour or the rest of the day. Opening hours are sent to Uber when you save them.
What hardware do we actually need?
A tablet you already own — it runs in a browser, nothing to install. Taking card payments needs a paired EFTPOS terminal; cash and manual card entry work with no hardware beyond the tablet at all. Receipt and kitchen printing to USB printers uses a small Windows program on the counter PC.
Is this part of our plan, or extra?
POS Terminal is a standalone add-on — $69/mo — on any plan, including a trial, and it is included at no extra cost from Starter up. It is billed and can be cancelled independently of your plan, so changing plans never touches it.
Can customers order and pay themselves?
The Self-Order Kiosk lets a customer pick items on a tablet by the door and get a collection number — no app, no account. Payment happens at the counter when staff accept the order.
Does it work across more than one venue?
Yes — multi-venue, one login across all of them, is part of the Complete plan. The till itself is identical at every site; what differs is which reports you are looking at.
