SmakSpace is restaurant management software designed for New Zealand hospitality operators who want one platform instead of five subscriptions. It combines point-of-sale, kitchen display, table layout and bookings, customer database with loyalty, direct online ordering, marketplace menu sync (Uber Eats and DoorDash — early access), and native Xero invoice sync plus GST-ready CSV exports. Pricing starts free — a hosted QR menu at NZ$0 forever — then flat NZD: NZ$49/month (Starter), NZ$99/month (Professional, recommended for most cafés and restaurants), or NZ$179/month (Enterprise — multi-location). Built in Aotearoa, supported in NZ time, works on the device you already own and the EFTPOS terminal you already have.

What does restaurant management software do?

Restaurant management software unifies the operational tools a hospitality business runs every day — point-of-sale, kitchen display, table bookings, online ordering, customer database, loyalty, and accounting integration — into a single platform instead of five or six separate subscriptions. The result is one login, one bill, consistent data across modules, and fewer hours per week spent reconciling between systems. SmakSpace is the NZ-built option — free to start with a hosted QR menu, then flat NZD from NZ$49/month when you take orders.

Restaurant management software FAQ

Real questions about running a restaurant on one platform.

Restaurant management software is a unified platform that handles the operational core of running a hospitality business — point-of-sale, kitchen display, bookings, online ordering, customer database, loyalty, staff management and accounting integration — in a single system instead of five or six separate subscriptions. The goal is one place to manage your menu, your customers, your orders and your reporting.
A POS system is one module (taking orders and processing payments). Restaurant management software is the full operating system around it. SmakSpace, for example, includes the POS module plus kitchen display, table layout and bookings, customer database, loyalty programs, direct online ordering, marketplace menu sync, and native Xero invoice sync with GST-ready CSV exports — all on one subscription.
Operators typically end up with 3–6 separate subscriptions: a POS (Lightspeed, Vend, Square), a bookings platform (Quandoo, OpenTable, Eveve), an online ordering tool (Mr Yum, MOBI, Bopple), a loyalty app (Marsello, Loyverse), accounting (Xero, MYOB), and sometimes a separate kitchen display or roster tool. Combined monthly cost typically lands at NZ$200–500 plus per-transaction fees. SmakSpace replaces most of that for NZ$99/month flat.
No — SmakSpace integrates with Xero rather than replacing it. Connect your Xero account and paid orders sync to Xero as invoices automatically, or use the GST-correct CSV export — daily sales totals, GST splits, payment-method breakdowns and refunds — for the bookkeeper workflow. Native MYOB sync works the same way.
Yes. Starter includes the self-order kiosk, QR ordering and digital menus; bookings, loyalty, KDS and advanced analytics unlock on Professional (NZ$99/mo), and multi-location on Enterprise. You are not charged extra for modules you do not use, but they are already wired in when you need them.
Typical timeline is 1–2 weeks for a single-venue café or restaurant to fully migrate from multiple tools to SmakSpace. We import menus via CSV (free), or let the AI assemble the item list from a photograph of the printed menu for you to approve; we do concierge customer-list migration on request, key your upcoming bookings in from your old diary export, seed loyalty points for your regulars, configure your table layout and KDS, and leave your existing EFTPOS terminal exactly as it is. You can run SmakSpace alongside your old tools during cutover to de-risk the transition.
SmakSpace starts free (a hosted QR menu at NZ$0 forever), then NZ$49/month (Starter), NZ$99/month (Professional — recommended), or NZ$179/month (Enterprise — multi-location). Annual billing saves 20%. Compared to typical NZ stacks (Lightspeed Restaurant NZ$165 + bookings NZ$50–150 + loyalty NZ$50 + ordering tool NZ$80 = NZ$345+/month), the bundled approach typically saves NZ$200–400 per month per venue.
It is designed for small to mid-sized NZ hospo: single-venue cafés, restaurants, bars, bakeries, food trucks, and small multi-venue groups. The Starter plan (NZ$49/month) suits a one-tablet café; Professional (NZ$99) suits most operators with bookings and full feature use; Enterprise (NZ$179) handles multi-location or higher-volume venues. There is no minimum contract — month-to-month with annual savings if you prefer.
