Odoo POS system for hospitality: more than just checking out

A good cash register system for the hospitality industry must primarily work quickly and simply. Taking an order, sending it to the kitchen or bar, splitting the bill, and settling up must happen without hassle during a busy service. 

But why should a cash register system stop there?

With Odoo, the cash register can actually become the central starting point of a much larger part of the hospitality business. From table service and kitchen to inventory, purchasing, customer loyalty, email marketing, and accounting.

At Newconomie, we therefore don't just set up Odoo as a hospitality cash register. From the cash register, we continue building a single environment where the daily operations of a restaurant, cafe, bar, or lunchroom come together.

Odoo POS table layout

What should a good hospitality cash register system be able to do?

At its core, a restaurant cash register system must primarily be reliable and fast.

Odoo Point of Sale supports specific restaurant features such as a visual table layout, orders per table, moving orders, splitting bills, and processing tips.

Employees can therefore work from a clear register that aligns with the daily operations of a restaurant, café, or bar.

But it is precisely after taking the order that the interesting part begins.

From the register directly to kitchen and bar


An order taken at the table must reach the right place as quickly as possible. 

With Odoo, kitchen and bar can be included in the same order flow. Through a Preparation Display or kitchen setup, orders and the status of preparations can be tracked digitally. 

This means that the register not only records what has been sold. The order becomes part of the entire restaurant workflow. 

At Newconomie, we set up this flow based on the practice of the hospitality business. Think of separate product groups for kitchen and bar, different preparation stations, takeout orders, and the way in which service and kitchen communicate with each other.

● Terraces 
● Lunchrooms 
● Fast casual restaurants 
● Takeout concepts 
● Food courts 
● Busy peak moments 

It does not mean that every restaurant has to replace its service with QR codes. The strength lies in the choice to combine different ways of ordering within the same environment 

Order yourself with QR code or kiosk

Self-ordering can also become part of the cash register system. 

Guests can view a menu and place an order themselves via their mobile phone with Odoo. Additionally, Odoo supports self-ordering via a kiosk.

The cash register linked to inventory and purchasing  

Every sale at the cash register provides information. 

Which products sell well? What is selling less? What inventory is available? What needs to be purchased?

When cash register, inventory, and purchasing are separate, information often needs to be processed between different systems.

Customer loyalty and points

 With Odoo, these processes can be set up within the same business environment. Newconomie can connect inventory locations, suppliers, receipts, internal transfers, minimum inventory, and purchasing processes with the restaurant operation.

For the hospitality industry, a practical setup is important. Not every pinch of salt needs to be tracked administratively.

That is why we at Newconomie look at which inventory registration actually provides useful information without giving employees unnecessary administrative work.

A hospitality cash register that also helps to bring guests back

A traditional cash register mainly focuses on today’s transaction.

But a guest who eats with you today can also come back next month. 

This makes the connection between the cash register, customers, and marketing interesting. 

Within Odoo, loyalty programs, coupons, gift cards, customer segments, e-mail campaigns, and other marketing activities can be set up.

Newconomie can connect these components within the same Odoo environment with CRM and marketing. Think of newsletters, promotions, guest segments, events, and loyalty programs.

Thus, the cash register is not just the end of an order.
It can also be the beginning of a new customer relationship.

Combining website, online ordering, and hospitality cash register

This is an important difference between a traditional hospitality cash register and the way Newconomie looks at Odoo. We start at the cash register, but we don't stop there.


The website also does not have to be a separate part of the restaurant. Menus, promotions, events, reservations, and online sales can become part of the same Odoo environment.

For hospitality businesses that also offer takeout or online sales, this means that the step between the website and operations becomes much smaller. 

A product or menu does not need to be maintained repeatedly in various separate systems.

Loyalty, e-mail marketing and social media from the same environment 

Hospitality entrepreneurs often use different programs alongside each other nowadays. A cash register system for sales. 

A program for newsletters. Another solution for social media. A website. A reservation system. An accounting package. 

Each system can function well individually, but the more separate systems are used, the more information ends up in different places.

Odoo offers applications in addition to Point of Sale for CRM, email marketing, social marketing, website, inventory, sales, and accounting. 

Newconomie consciously positions these components as one cohesive hospitality environment. 

The advantage is not that a restaurant suddenly has to use as much software as possible. The advantage is precisely that you only use what you need, while further expansion remains possible.

A hospitality POS system is not only used in restaurants.

● Restaurants 
● Cafés and bars 
● Lunchrooms and coffee shops 
● Fast casual and quick service 
● Hotel restaurants 
● Catering companies 
● Tasting rooms and brewpubs 
● Hospitality businesses with multiple locations

A café, for example, has much more need for quick bar sales and open accounts, while in a restaurant table management and communication with the kitchen are more important. Newconomie therefore does not set up Odoo from one standard model, but looks at the actual processes within the hospitality business

What is the main advantage of Odoo in hospitality point of sale system?

The most important question is ultimately not how many features a point of sale system has. The question is: how many separate systems do you still need alongside your cash register? With Odoo, a hospitality entrepreneur can start with the components that are immediately necessary, for example:
