SmakSpace works with the POS you already run — without integrating with it. Direct and QR orders land on a kitchen tablet in real time (or the orders dashboard on Starter), so the kitchen fulfils them without anyone re-keying a ticket into the POS. Your EFTPOS terminal (Smartpay, Worldline, Verifone, Windcave) keeps processing in-person cards exactly as it does today, and sales reach your books through native Xero invoice sync or GST-correct CSV exports. Two-way POS sync (menu import, order push, stock sync) for Lightspeed, Square and Toast is in early access on the Enterprise plan; no venue runs it live yet. SmakSpace runs its own staff counter till on a tablet — walk-up and phone orders, cash with the change due, or mark the order paid on your own terminal — but it has no cash drawer, no docket printing and no card-present payment through it, so venues that need a drawer and printed dockets keep their POS for that, while kiosk-led and order-ahead venues often find they no longer need one.
Replace, coexist, or sync.
No POS? Kiosk-led venues can run on SmakSpace alone
Self-order kiosks, QR and online ordering feed the kitchen screen directly, with menus, modifier groups and daily reporting from any tablet or laptop. A tablet in counter mode also lets staff ring up walk-up and phone orders, take cash with the change due, or mark an order paid on your own terminal. There is still no cash drawer and no docket printing, so this suits order-ahead and kiosk-led venues. Your EFTPOS terminal handles in-person cards alongside, same as always.
Keep your POS — add direct ordering
Your POS keeps doing what it does today. SmakSpace runs beside it as the customer-facing layer: QR table ordering, direct online ordering, bookings and loyalty. New orders appear on a kitchen tablet the moment they are placed — nothing to re-key to get food moving.
Want orders inside the POS? Enterprise sync
Two-way POS sync is in early access on the Enterprise plan: menu import from your POS, direct orders pushed into it, stock kept in step. Built for Lightspeed, Square and Toast, not yet running live at a venue. Tell us your POS and we'll say straight whether it's ready for you.
From phone to pass, nothing re-typed.
Order placed
A customer scans the QR at the table or orders from your ordering page. Paid online or marked for counter payment — either way it enters the queue instantly.
Kitchen sees it
On Professional and Enterprise the order appears on the kitchen display in real time — station routing, prep timers, item notes and modifiers, and an optional new-order chime. On Starter it lands in the orders dashboard on any tablet.
You are notified
The owner account always gets an in-app notification for new orders, with an optional email alert if you want one. No listening for a phone buzzing in a drawer.
Books stay clean
Paid orders sync to Xero as invoices automatically, or export as GST-correct CSV. Your POS keeps its own till totals — the two reconcile side by side at close.
