How does the POS work for dim sum?
Dim sum tables order many small plates over a long meal. Each table's check stays open, items are added as carts or servers bring them, and dishes can be priced by size category. The check builds as the meal goes, so nothing is missed when the table asks for the bill.
Set up small, medium, large and special plate prices as variations, then add each plate as it arrives at the table. Round tables with many seats can be split by seat or evenly when the family pays.
Chinese screens are set up for the team, and product names can carry Chinese and English names. The kitchen screen shows what has been made and what is still waiting.
- Open checks through a long meal
- Plate sizes as price variations
- Chinese and English names
- Split by seat for round tables
Can it fit a small New York kitchen?
Yes. Restaurant POS Studio runs on any tablet or PC with a browser, so you do not need a big terminal. One kitchen screen or one printer can handle the line, and station routing sends drinks to the bar and food to the kitchen when you have the space for both.
Many New York kitchens have no room for extra hardware. A wall-mounted tablet as the kitchen screen, plus a receipt printer at the counter, is often enough. Cash drawers open from the printer, so there is one less cable.
Coursing helps when the line is short on space. Fire appetizers, hold the mains, then fire them when the table is ready, so the kitchen never plates more than it can pass.
- Runs on the tablets you have
- One screen or printer per station
- Fire and hold courses from the floor
- Cash drawer opened by the printer
How is sales tax set up for New York City?
Enter your combined sales tax rate for the location, which includes the New York State, New York City and any regional parts that apply. If you want each part shown separately, build them as a tax group. Confirm the rate with New York State's tax department or your accountant.
Restaurants in the five boroughs generally share one combined city rate, while branches on Long Island, in Westchester or in New Jersey need their own setup. Each location in Restaurant POS Studio has its own rate.
Menu prices stay tax-exclusive, and tax shows as its own line on the receipt. The tax report shows tax collected per day and location.
- Combined state and city rate
- Tax group to show each part
- Own setup for branches outside the city
- Tax report by day and location
Setup notes for New York
What our onboarding desk checks first for restaurants here.
- New York State has its own tip and wage rules for food service workers; confirm your tip pool design with a payroll advisor.
- In a small kitchen, mount the kitchen screen at eye level away from steam, and keep a spare receipt roll at every printer.
- Use Chinese, Korean or Spanish screens per user, so a Queens or Brooklyn line can read tickets without a translator at the pass.
- Use the bookings calendar for tables of eight or more, and turn on auto-gratuity for those parties.
New York restaurant questions
Onboarding desk · usually replies within a business day
Can my staff in Flushing use Chinese while my manager uses English?
Yes. Language is set per user. The kitchen and floor can read Chinese, the manager English, and the owner can switch whenever they want. Product names can carry both languages.
Does it work for a Korean BBQ restaurant on 32nd Street?
Yes. Table timers, per-person set pricing and add-on meat orders from the table all work. Korean screens are set up for the team, and tips can be pooled across servers who share grill tables.
I have one restaurant in Manhattan and one on Long Island. Can each have its own tax?
Yes. Each location carries its own tax rate or tax group. Set each one from its own address. Central reports show both together or one at a time.
We have almost no counter space. What hardware do we need?
A tablet and one receipt printer is often enough. The POS runs in a browser, so any iPad, Android tablet or PC works. Add a kitchen screen or kitchen printer only when you have room.
Can I take delivery and pickup orders on the same system?
Yes. Pickup orders can come from your own online store, which is built from your menu automatically. Delivery orders can be entered as their own order type so the kitchen sees them in the same queue.
How do I handle a large party that splits the check six ways?
Split evenly, by seat, by item or by amount, and take several cards on the same check. Auto-gratuity can be set by party size so large tables include the tip before splitting.
