Built around the life of a tab
From the pre-auth that opens a tab to the bulk close at last call — IcosaPOS handles every step in between without a workaround.
The life of a tab
One flow, no gaps — every step below is native, not a plugin.
Step 01
Open with a pre-auth
Swipe once and the card is held on the tab — no more babysitting plastic behind the bar.
Step 02
Order at full speed
Fast ordering with forced and optional modifiers, so “medium-rare, no onion, sub fries” takes two taps.
Step 03
Seats and courses
Items land on seats, courses fire in order, and transfers between servers keep the tab intact.
Step 04
Split without drama
By seat, item or amount — and splits persist exactly as the server left them, across shift changes.
Step 05
Tips and auto-grat
Tip adjust after close, automatic gratuity on large parties, and payroll-ready tip reporting.
Step 06
Bulk close at last call
Close every open tab at once — auto-grat applied where it should be, pre-auths captured cleanly.
Around the dining room
Handhelds
Take orders and card-present payments tableside — the tab follows the guest, not the terminal.
Kitchen & bar printers
Items route to the right station automatically — grill, fry, expo, service bar.
Employee permissions
Granular roles decide who can comp, void, adjust tips or close tabs — with an audit trail.
Dual pricing
Card and cash pricing displayed cleanly on menus, checks and receipts — compliant by design.
Presented checks
Guest checks snapshot when presented, so late changes never blindside a table.
Labor tools
Time clock at the register, live labor-vs-sales and payroll exports.
“Check splitting used to be the worst part of Friday night. Now servers handle six-way splits without calling a manager.”
