# The best restaurant and bar POS for serviced apartments.

Apartments often run a small café, minimarket or laundry service. A till with charge to unit keeps those sales on the guest's bill. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best POS software for serviced apartments?**
The best restaurant and bar point of sale (POS) for serviced apartments 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 serviced apartments: café or minimarket outlet; laundry as a product; charge to unit; card and mobile money. 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 serviced apartments need

Apartments often run a small café, minimarket or laundry service. A till with charge to unit keeps those sales on the guest's bill.

- Café or minimarket outlet
- Laundry as a product
- Charge to unit
- Card and mobile money

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any restaurant and bar point of sale (POS) for a serviced apartment 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 serviced apartment

At a typical serviced apartment the people who log in are the manager, reservations, housekeeping supervisor and accounts: 4 users, $52 a month or $499.20 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).
