What is Managed Commerce Restaurant?
A managed digital sales environment for your restaurant. We set up the point of sale, payments, kitchen and, if you want, online ordering, and then stay responsible for management, updates, monitoring and support.
Is this a POS system?
Yes, and more than that. The point of sale is the starting point. Depending on your package, service, kitchen, inventory and online sales run from the same environment as well.
Which restaurants can use this?
Restaurants, lunchrooms, snack bars, cafes, pub-style restaurants, takeaways and similar venues with direct sales. From one checkout to several stations and channels.
What is the difference between Essentials, Restaurant and Plus?
Essentials is one managed POS station for a straightforward venue. Restaurant adds service, kitchen, inventory and loyalty with two stations. Plus adds online ordering, takeaway and delivery with three stations.
Is hardware included?
No. Hardware is a one-off purchase. The monthly fee is for management, updates, monitoring and support.
What does an extra checkout cost?
€35 per month per extra managed POS station, excluding VAT and on top of the number included in your package. You buy the hardware separately.
Can I use several locations?
Yes, from €99 per month per extra location. A location usually brings its own equipment, configuration, users and payment setup, so we set the price per situation.
Which payment methods are supported?
Card payments at the checkout, iDEAL and online payments for online sales, and other methods the chosen payment solution supports. What fits your venue we determine during the intake.
Are transaction costs included?
No. Transaction costs are separate from the monthly subscription. The rates depend on the payment method and the chosen payment solution, and we agree on them in advance.
Can I use a kitchen display?
Yes. With Restaurant and Plus a kitchen display is part of the environment. With Essentials it is available as an extension.
Can staff take orders on a mobile device?
Yes, where the chosen equipment supports it. With Restaurant and Plus mobile service is part of the environment.
Can I receive online orders?
Yes. With Plus online ordering is part of the environment. With Essentials and Restaurant it is available as an extension.
Do you support takeaway and delivery?
Takeaway and click and collect are part of Plus. We support delivery flows where that is technically possible. Which form fits your venue we discuss during the intake.
Can I track inventory?
Yes. With Restaurant and Plus inventory functionality is part of the environment. The physical counting and upkeep remains work for your own team.
Can I use loyalty or gift cards?
Yes, with Restaurant and Plus. With Essentials it is available as an extension.
Can I switch from my current POS system?
Often yes. We first assess your current system, your menu, your hardware, your payments and your data. After that we determine what we can migrate and what we set up again.
Can you use my existing hardware?
Sometimes. We work with hardware we know and can manage remotely. We assess your equipment and tell you honestly what stays usable and what is better replaced.
What happens if my point of sale is not working?
Then you contact us and we sort it out. We resolve faults in the managed environment. Whatever we agree about availability, we record in advance.
What counts as support?
Technical faults and configuration problems in the managed environment, and help with regular functionality. Operational work such as entering large numbers of products is not included; that is project work.
What does the implementation cost?
That depends on your venue: the number of stations, the size of your menu, your hardware, your payments and what has to be migrated. We quote the implementation separately after an assessment.
Why do I pay for implementation and a monthly fee?
The implementation pays for the one-off designing, configuring, migrating, testing and going live of your environment. The monthly subscription pays for the management, the maintenance and the support afterwards.
Can I switch to a different package later?
Yes. Many venues start with Essentials or Restaurant and expand when more stations or channels are added.
Can Managed Commerce be connected to my bookkeeping?
Your sales data can become part of a managed financial administration through Managed Finance. The bookkeeping itself is not part of Managed Commerce.
