This system works for small, medium and even larger operations—everything from restaurants, cafés and bistros to retail stores, service providers and food-truck or kiosk setups. Because it’s flexible and scalable, you can start small and grow into high-volume operations without switching platforms.

Can It Handle High-Traffic Peaks?
Absolutely. The system has been stress-tested to handle dozens of parallel orders without slowing down.

Elementary POS offers simple, transparent pricing—with zero hidden fees and no long-term commitments. You pay a flat monthly subscription, and you’re free to cancel anytime. Choose the plan that fits your needs—even if that’s our free tier. Our paid plans are packed with powerful features that other POS systems either lock behind expensive upgrades or offer only through costly third-party add-ons. With Elementary POS, everything’s built in—no extra apps, no messy integrations, no surprises.

👉 View pricing plans ->

Yes. No long contracts, no hidden conditions. You pay a month‑to‑month subscription, and you can cancel or pause whenever it suits your business.

Yes. With Elementary POS you can pause or reactivate your subscription at any time to match your business’s rhythm.

Does it work for seasonal operations (winter/summer)?
Yes. It’s ideal for seasonal setups like campgrounds, outdoor terraces, kiosks or seasonal services. You can pause your subscription during slower months and resume when you’re back in business.

Will my data stay safe if I pause the subscription?
Absolutely. Your data remains securely stored and when you reactivate the plan, everything comes back immediately.

We believe in hardware freedom—you don’t need to buy expensive, proprietary cash‑register hardware like some other systems demand. Choose the device that fits YOUR business. Elementary POS runs on a wide range of Android devices—from everyday phones and tablets to professional terminals—so you easily pick the right setup for your operation:

Android devices
Use any Android device — a phone, tablet, or smart terminal. No need for a special POS terminal; just use what you already have.

Professional Terminals
Elementary POS works with professional devices such as myPOS, Viva.com, and Sunmi.

Which Printers and Cash Drawers Are Supported?

Does the System Include a Loyalty Program?

Yes. You can activate it with a single click and quickly launch your own loyalty system that boosts repeat visits and increases customer spending. Customers can collect points, redeem rewards, or use promotions like “Buy 2, Get 1 Free.” The loyalty program runs fully automatically and doesn’t require physical cards.

It can also function as a credit/prepaid system — for example, fitness centers where customers prepay services and then draw from their credit.

Are QR Orders Included in Elementary POS? How Do They Work
Yes. QR orders are built directly into Elementary POS and help businesses increase revenue, speed up service, and reduce errors. With QR orders, you can handle more customers even with fewer staff.

How QR orders work:
Guests scan a QR code and order directly from their phone. The order is automatically sent to the kitchen or bar, so staff instantly see what needs to be prepared.

Where can QR orders be used?
QR orders work both in serviced environments (server delivers the order) and in self-service mode, where customers place an order and then pick it up. Pickup orders can be displayed on the pickup screen.

👉 Learn more about QR orders ->

What Can the Mobile Waiter Do?
Mobile Waiter lets staff take orders right at the table using a phone or tablet. Orders automatically route to the kitchen or bar the moment they’re entered. This speeds up service, increases order volume, reduces mistakes, and gives you full visibility over open tabs and table status.

One of the biggest advantages: Unlimited devices. You can use as many mobile waiters as you want at no extra charge (Premium plan and above).

How Do Kitchen and Pickup Displays Work?
In the kitchen, staff see all incoming orders clearly on a digital display. At pickup, customers can monitor the status of their order. No paper printing, faster processes, and always-up-to-date information. If your kitchen prefers printed tickets, you can switch the display for a printer.

How Does Inventory Management Work?
The system provides full inventory control, letting you track stock movement, view inventory reports, and see sales and profit per item. During checkout, you always see the current stock levels and can restock items in a few taps.

Receptury
Elementary POS automatically deducts the exact amount of ingredients based on your recipes, including partial units from bulk packaging (e.g., selling a lemonade deducts 0.33 L from a 50 L keg). This keeps consumption under full control and eliminates most manual tracking.

👉 Learn more about Inventory Management ->

Yes. Elementary POS is optimized for unstable connections. Offline mode lets you complete sales until the connection is restored. Once you’re back online, data syncs automatically.

Elementary POS Office is your online admin dashboard that gives you full control over your business from anywhere, on any device. It allows you to:

• set company details for receipts (name, logo, header, footer, tax settings),
• manage items and categories,
• monitor real-time sales and export them to Excel or LibreOffice,
• manage inventory and stock levels with profit/loss exports,
• manage POS devices,
• manage users and permissions,
• set API access for third-party apps.

For maximum convenience, we recommend using Elementary POS Office on a computer. It works fully on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android devices.

If your device has Google Play, simply open it, search for Elementary POS, and install the app.

If Google Play isn’t available (e.g., on certain professional terminals), you can download the app from the official Elementary POS website or the device’s marketplace.
