What is table management software?
Table management software keeps a table's bill item by item, sends orders to the kitchen and closes the bill. It replaces the paper order pad: you tap a table on the table plan, the order is added and the kitchen ticket prints. sipnik POS keeps the bill in the cloud; tables, kitchen, payments and reporting run in one system.

How to choose table management software? Six questions.
Look less at the buttons on the screen and more at what happens on a busy evening.
Is the bill kept when a table is moved?
Moving and merging shouldn't mean rewriting the bill. In sipnik POS it's drag and drop.
Can the bill be settled in parts?
A split bill should be payable by cash, card and on account.
Do tickets reach the right station?
They should print automatically at the right station, without the waiter carrying them.
Do voids and comps need authorization?
In sipnik POS, a manager PIN; who approved it is logged.
Can you see reports remotely?
On the dashboard, from anywhere; PDF and Excel.
Where do QR orders go?
Do they wait on a separate screen or go to the table's bill? Ask.
