Stop losing money at the point of sale.
Start running your floor like a pro.
Liquor Logic's POS was built for the pace of hospitality. Table management, open tabs, split bills, kitchen display — everything your floor and bar staff need, in one system that's already connected to your inventory and reporting.
From R349/month (~$20 USD) · No contract · No credit card required · 30-day free trial
Sound familiar?
Running a restaurant or bar is already relentless. Your POS shouldn't be making it harder.
Overpriced for what it does
Paying R800+ (~$43 USD) per month for basic features — while the ones you actually need are locked behind expensive add-ons.
Split bills are a nightmare
Customers waiting, staff scrambling, mistakes happening. Bill splitting should take seconds — not ruin the end of a great meal.
Orders lost in transit
Handwritten tickets, shouted orders, forgotten modifiers. A proper kitchen display system eliminates all of that instantly.
No idea what's actually selling
Without live reporting, you're guessing on stock orders, menu decisions, and when to schedule your best staff.
Everything your venue needs. Nothing you don't.
Built for the real pace of hospitality — not a retail system bolted together and called a restaurant POS.
Interactive Floor Plan
Design your floor layout visually. Live table status shows what's open, occupied, or needs attention. Assign orders directly to tables across multiple sections or rooms.
Open Tabs & Split Bills
Open a tab per customer or group. Split bills by item, by amount, or evenly — with multiple payment methods per split. Handle it in seconds, not minutes.
Kitchen Display System
Orders flow from the POS to the kitchen the moment they're placed. Colour-coded, timed, and clear — no more printed tickets or shouting across the pass.
Menu Modifiers
"No onion, extra cheese, medium rare." Handle complex customisations, add-ons, and substitutions at the POS — exactly how your customers order.
Live Inventory Sync
Every sale instantly adjusts your stock. Set low-stock alerts so you never run out of your best sellers mid-service. No manual reconciliation — ever.
Flexible Payments
Accept cash, card, Zapper, SnapScan and more in a single transaction.
Sales Analytics & Reporting
Know exactly what's selling, when your peak hours are, and which staff are performing. POS data flows directly into your dashboards — no separate report tool needed.
Discounts & Loyalty
Set up time-based discounts, happy hour pricing, and loyalty rewards. Apply by item, category, or total bill — in seconds, from the POS itself.
Accounting Integration
Sync your sales directly to Xero, Sage, or Pastel. No double-capturing, no manual exports — your books stay accurate without the admin overhead.

Liquor Logic
VS
Lightspeed
Key Differences
Lightspeed is a well-known international POS platform available in South Africa, with restaurant plans that can run from around $69–$399/month (USD) depending on features and add-ons. It's polished and supports floor plans, modifiers and online ordering — but the cost adds up fast, especially once you start unlocking reporting, loyalty, and accounting sync as paid extras. Liquor Logic delivers all of this at R349/month flat, with no per-user fees, no hidden add-ons, and local support you can actually reach.
The Liquor Logic Advantage
- Transparent ZAR pricing — No USD invoicing, no currency risk, no surprise exchange rate charges
- All features included — Reporting, loyalty, and accounting integrations are not paywalled add-ons
- Local payment integrations — Zapper and SnapScan built in; Lightspeed relies on third-party payment partners for SA
- No lock-in contract — Cancel anytime; Lightspeed has received complaints about billing and contract disputes from SA users

VS
Tall Order
Key Differences
Tall Order is a South African-built cloud POS with a solid following in the local hospitality and retail market. It integrates with Xero, Sage, WooCommerce, and local payment platforms like Zapper, SnapScan, and Yoco — making it a genuinely competitive local option. However, Tall Order is a dedicated POS product. Liquor Logic includes all the same POS capability and adds a full suite of production, inventory, CRM, distribution, and compliance tools — making it the better choice for any venue that produces or distributes liquor alongside running front-of-house operations.
The Liquor Logic Advantage
- All-in-one for producers — POS + production + inventory + CRM + compliance in one platform, not just front-of-house
- Built for liquor businesses specifically — Bonded storage, excise reporting, keg tracking, and distribution are all native features
- No separate stock module cost — Tall Order's MyStock inventory is a separate add-on; Liquor Logic inventory is fully included
- Tasting room & retail in one — Perfect for venues that sell direct-to-consumer from a cellar door or taproom

VS
Pilot POS
Key Differences
Pilot POS is one of South Africa's most established hospitality POS systems, with over 30 years in the market and a strong presence in restaurants, hotels, and franchise groups across Southern Africa. Pricing starts from around R60–R75 per day (roughly R1,800–R2,250/month), with hardware typically bundled into the cost. Pilot is a solid, reliable system — but it's a traditional on-premise setup at a premium price point. Liquor Logic offers modern cloud-native architecture, a lower monthly cost, and a fully integrated production and operations platform that Pilot doesn't have.
The Liquor Logic Advantage
- Significantly lower cost — R349/month vs R1,800–R2,250/month; same core POS functionality at a fraction of the price
- Cloud-native & device flexible — Works on any modern device; Pilot is traditionally Windows-based with specific hardware requirements
- Full operations platform — POS + production + inventory + CRM + compliance in one; Pilot is hospitality POS only
- 30-day free trial — Try before you buy with no credit card; Pilot requires a sales engagement and hardware commitment upfront
