Offline POS

A POS that doesn't stop when the internet does.

Venue internet drops at the worst moment. Every TableDesk till keeps taking orders and settling bills through it, nothing is lost and nothing is retyped. With a box in your venue, the kitchen and the printers carry on too.

What keeps working

It depends where TableDesk runs.

Same software either way. Start on our cloud and move to a box later, orders and all.

On our cloud

Each till, tablet and phone keeps working on its own. It opens tables, takes orders and settles bills, marks them as waiting, and sends them in the order they happened the moment the line is back.

  • Tills keep taking orders and settling bills
  • Every device shows what is still waiting to send
  • Kitchen screens and printers pick up when the line is back
With a box in your venue

Everything runs on a small box in your back room, over your own network. The internet going down changes nothing inside the building.

  • Tills, kitchen screens and printers all keep working
  • No limit on how long the internet stays off
  • If the router dies, the box can bring up your Wi-Fi itself
A Friday with a box in the venue

The internet drops. Service doesn't.

The tills, the kitchen and the bar keep talking over your venue's Wi-Fi. When the line comes back, the cloud catches up in the order everything happened.

Offline questions

Do we lose orders when the internet drops?

No. An order taken without a connection is kept on the device and sent when the line is back, exactly once, in the order it happened. Nobody types anything twice.

What waits for the line on the cloud plans?

Each device works on its own until the internet is back, so new tickets reach the kitchen screens and printers then, and so do changes made on other devices. Manager approvals, switching staff by PIN and menu edits wait too. If your kitchen runs on screens and your internet is unreliable, a box in your venue keeps all of that going.

How long can we run without internet?

With a box, as long as you like: the Offline plan never connects at all. On our cloud, each device keeps working until the line returns.

Can we move from the cloud to a box later?

Yes. It's the same software, and your orders, menu and staff move with you. Running TableDesk on a box.
