From order to payment, efficiency at its best. Count-IT is a hospitality POS for restaurants, cafés and lunchrooms: your staff take orders at the table on a tablet, tickets go straight to kitchen and bar, and the bill always adds up. That leaves more time for your guests.
Count-IT is a hospitality POS system for restaurants, cafés, bars and lunchrooms, with floor plans, table-side ordering on a tablet or phone and tickets sent to kitchen and bar printers. It costs €35 (Light) or €69 (Full) per till per month, excl. VAT.
A hospitality POS system is a till set up for table service: you ring up orders on a table, send them to the kitchen and bar, and settle the bill later, together or split. Count-IT does this in the browser or app, on a fixed till and on your staff's tablets and phones, all using the same data.
In hospitality everything has to be right, from a quick order to a flawless bill. Because till, stock, gift cards and reports live in one system, you never keep anything twice. Read how to set up tables, floor plans and kitchen tickets in the knowledge base on hospitality.
Choose tables on your own floor plan or in a table list, put receipts on hold on a table and reopen it later to add orders or settle the bill.
Your staff take orders on a tablet or phone, straight onto the right table. You decide the button layout per device.
Choose the printer per product or product group: dishes go on the kitchen ticket, drinks on the bar ticket, with the table number on it.
Badges show per table what has already been ordered, what is new and what has been corrected. A table open on another device can be taken over.
Split the bill per item, combine payment methods with partial payments and record tips with the tip button. Card payments run through a connected terminal.
Combine products into a bundle, such as a lunch menu, and manage prices centrally for all your locations.
Stock is updated with every sale. When a product drops below its minimum, you get an order proposal that you check and approve yourself.
Sell and redeem gift cards at the till, including partial redemption, and reward regulars with loyalty points.
Staff switch users with a PIN, security codes protect refunds, discounts and the cash drawer, and reports show turnover per product and employee.
Real hospitality screens, from the table plan to paying with a tip.

A restaurant works differently from a café or a lunchroom with a terrace. This is how Count-IT fits each one.
In a restaurant, everything revolves around the table. You lay out your venue with floor plans per room, staff ring up dishes on the tablet and the kitchen immediately gets a ticket with the table number. Order status badges show what has already been ordered and what is new, and at the end guests split the bill per item or pay with several payment methods.
Behind the bar, speed is everything. With your own button layout you ring up drinks in a few taps, put a tab on hold on a table and settle straight away at the bar. Staff switch users with their own PIN, security codes protect the cash drawer, and day closing with a cash count wraps up the evening neatly.
In a lunchroom, table service and paying at the counter alternate. On the terrace your staff work with a tablet, and a colleague can take over a table that is open on another device. If you also sell products to take away, the same till keeps track of the stock. Read more about the basics in the knowledge base on the POS.
Orders go directly from the table to the right printer in the kitchen or bar. No notes, no misunderstandings, and the bill is always right. Count-IT works with kitchen and bar printers, not kitchen display screens; guests order through your staff, not via a QR code.
Many venues work with a basic till, a stand-alone card machine, paper notes to the kitchen and a spreadsheet for purchasing. This is how that compares with one hospitality POS system.
| Area | Separate till + separate packages | Count-IT |
|---|---|---|
| Taking orders | Written on paper and retyped at the till | At the table on a tablet or phone, straight onto the right table |
| Kitchen and bar | Passing on notes or calling out orders | Kitchen and bar tickets sent automatically to the right printer |
| Settling the bill | Splitting by hand, retyping the amount on the card machine | Splitting per item, partial payments and a connected card terminal |
| Stock and purchasing | Keeping a stock list and checking what has run out yourself | Stock updated with every sale, with an order proposal you approve |
| Guest loyalty | A separate stamp card or gift card system | Loyalty points and gift cards in the till |
| Control | Little insight into discounts, refunds and the cash drawer | A PIN per employee, security codes and a report on suspicious employee activity |
| Costs and support | Several subscriptions and suppliers | Fixed price per till; support, updates and unlimited users included |

A hospitality POS has to work as well on the busiest night of the year as on a quiet Monday. Go through these points before you choose.
Count-IT runs on a touchscreen till and on your staff's tablets and phones. For the kitchen and bar you need receipt printers; we supply hospitality hardware such as touchscreen tills, receipt printers, cash drawers and connected card terminals, pre-installed and tested. Read how to set up printers in the knowledge base on hardware and printers.
In Germany, Count-IT supports the KassenSichV with a TSE via Fiskaly and the DSFinV-K export. Belgian hospitality businesses that serve meals may be required to use a registered cash register system (GKS, the so-called white till); if your venue is in Belgium, discuss with us in advance whether Count-IT suits your situation.
