Are you a restaurant or bar owner/manager? 

Then you must be juggling multiple tasks like taking orders, managing inventory, handling staff schedules, and ensuring customer satisfaction. A single late order can get your restaurant 1 star out of 5! When your captain tells your customers, “Sorry, we can’t serve that wine today as we are out of stock,” you lose an elite customer.

Managing all tasks is super crucial and complex. There is absolutely no scope for errors. 
Hence, an advanced ERP solution can help you solve your challenges like a pro.

Odoo ERP offers an integrated Point of Sale (POS) system tailored for the hospitality industry to simplify these complexities. This excellently unified platform ensures that every task, from the kitchen to the front desk, operates seamlessly.

Key Features of Odoo ERP for Bar and Restaurant Management

1. Customizable Floor Plans and Table Management

Wrong orders at the wrong table, long waiting lines, and vacant tables- these scenarios can be avoided with Odoo ERP. It allows restaurants to design their restaurant layout digitally. It enables real-time table arrangements. Monitor table occupancy, manage reservations, and optimize seating to enhance customer experience.

2. Efficient Order Taking and Kitchen Communication

No missed orders. No long waiting for quick starters. Captains and waiters can take orders directly from tablets or smartphones, which are instantly relayed to kitchen displays or printers. This reduces errors and speeds up service. Chefs can prepare orders in real-time, as the display showcases pending orders and sets priorities. It helps chefs and helpers to segregate orders smartly.

3. Self-Ordering

Customers can order from kiosks or from their smartphones. You can let your captains rest for a while as your customers enter the orders themselves. This system is becoming popular in many quick-food chains and can be seen in regular restaurants in the near future as well. Customers not only order from their phones but can also access an auto-generated bill and pay through their phones.

4. Store Management

Running a store with Odoo feels super sorted. You can track every order, manage individual cashier logins, and monitor real-time stock across locations. Daily sales? Cash flow? It’s all tracked and easy to view. If you have franchises, you can manage them all centrally – no switching systems.

Kitchen staff? A live prep display helps them understand the necessary items and their timing. Basically, everything operates smoothly, from the front counter to the kitchen and stockroom.

5. Payments

The payment setup in Odoo is next-level flexible. You can accept everything: cash, cards, cheques, and even allow bill splitting across multiple people or methods. It handles offline payments, syncs later when you're back online, and supports tips, rounding, and external terminals for cards. Got B2B clients? You can plug in VAT numbers and generate business invoices easily. You can set credit limits for regulars, as Odoo links directly to its accounting module.

Whether it’s one guy paying or a group of ten, the process stays hassle-free.
