SmakSpace is New Zealand-built hospitality software covering everything around the point of sale — self-order kiosks, QR and online ordering, kitchen display, table layout, bookings, modifier groups and customer loyalty — on one flat NZD subscription. It also runs a staff counter till on a tablet: staff ring up walk-up and phone orders, take cash and see the change due, or mark the order paid on the venue’s own terminal, with one shared ticket list across devices and an offline queue. It does not process card-present payments, print dockets or run a cash drawer, and your existing EFTPOS terminal keeps operating independently beside it. Kiosk-led and order-ahead venues can run on SmakSpace alone; counter-service and table-service venues run it alongside the POS they already have. Pricing starts free — a hosted QR menu at NZ$0 forever, no card — then flat NZD from NZ$49/month (Starter) once you take orders. Self-order kiosks, kitchen display and bookings are on the NZ$99/month Professional plan, where most cafés and restaurants sit. Works on any modern iPad, Android tablet, MacBook or Windows laptop. Free menu setup included on every plan.
What does restaurant POS software include?
Restaurant POS software handles in-house ordering, payment processing, item management and end-of-day reporting. SmakSpace covers the hospitality half of that and the part most tills do badly: self-order kiosks customers order and pay from, kitchen display (so the chef sees orders without a printer), table layout (so floor staff can manage parties and timing), bookings (so reservations and walk-ins live in the same diary), modifier groups (sizes, milks, extras, allergens), commission-free online and QR ordering, customer loyalty, and native accounting integration. Kiosk-led and order-ahead venues run on it with no separate till at all; venues with busy walk-up trade keep a till for the counter and run SmakSpace around it. Retail POS like Shopify POS or Square cover the counter but almost none of the rest.
