# The best restaurant and bar POS for hotels.

Restaurant, lobby bar, pool bar and room service each need their own till, sharing products and charging to rooms, with staff on shared tills by PIN. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best POS software for hotels?**
The best restaurant and bar point of sale (POS) for hotels covers tables and bills, split and transfer, charge to room, mobile money and card, stock out of the outlet store and offline selling, and handles what is specific to hotels: an outlet per till with its own store; room service as its own outlet; charge to room from any outlet; conference coffee breaks billed to the company. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.

## What hotels need

Restaurant, lobby bar, pool bar and room service each need their own till, sharing products and charging to rooms, with staff on shared tills by PIN.

- An outlet per till with its own store
- Room service as its own outlet
- Charge to room from any outlet
- Conference coffee breaks billed to the company

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any restaurant and bar point of sale (POS) for a hotel should have:

| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| Tables, open bills, splits and transfers | ✓ |
| Charge to room onto the guest folio | ✓ |
| Cash, card, mobile money and split payments | ✓ |
| Staff pick their name and enter a PIN | ✓ |
| Each outlet takes stock from its own store | ✓ |
| Keeps selling when the internet drops | ✓ |
| Closing counts by payment method | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |

## Why it should be part of one system

When the till is joined to the PMS and stores, charge to room lands on the folio, sales take stock out of the outlet's store and revenue posts by outlet and payment method. Read [one system vs separate systems](https://www.tivuzo.com/compare/one-system-vs-separate-pms-and-accounting/).

## What it costs a hotel

At a typical hotel the people who log in are the front office, housekeeping, F&B, stores, purchasing and accounts: 12 users, $156 a month or $1,497.60 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).
