One guest, one inventory, one ledger, one live view for the owner — across every room and outlet.
Why EloPMSSeat the party, fire the course, plate it on time.
Full-service floors need more than a cart. EloPMS gives you a visual table map, waiter-assigned covers, course firing, and a live kitchen board — so the pass never loses a ticket.
Dine-in, takeaway, delivery, drive-thru — and charge-to-room.
Standalone or inside a hotel, guests order however they like and pay one way. The touch POS handles every service channel, and when you're in a hotel the bill can go straight to the guest's folio.
Charge to Room — the hotel hallmark
Post any restaurant, bar, café or gift-shop sale straight to a checked-in guest's PMS folio. The cashier searches by room number, guest name or reservation and the sale mirrors as an F&B/POS line — revenue deferred to the folio so it's recognised once at checkout, never double-counted, with no-post and closed-folio rules honoured automatically.
Takeaway, delivery & drive-thru
Token numbers for takeaway and delivery with a customer-facing "now serving / next" display; a drive-thru lane that captures vehicle number and works a live queue through ordering → preparing → ready → done with elapsed-time timers. Each channel toggles on per outlet.
Tenders, split bills & tips
Cash, card, bank and split payment in one sale with a live allocation indicator; automatic change; per-line and order-level discounts; per-line and invoice tax broken out on the receipt; split the bill across tenders and add tips and cover charges at settlement. Print A4, A5, 80mm or 58mm, or SMS the receipt.
Built for counter speed
Touch product tiles with images, category sidebar and universal search by name, SKU or barcode; modifiers and combo meals; hold and recall parked orders restoring the full cart; keyboard shortcuts — F2 search, F12 complete — and an inactivity auto-lock that protects an unattended till.
Cloud-based hotel POS system built for multi-outlet operations
EloPMS runs entirely in the cloud — no on-premise servers, no local database backups, no IT infrastructure to maintain. Every order, payment and inventory movement syncs across all outlets and properties.
Why cloud-native architecture matters for hotel F&B:
Access anywhere
Manage restaurant operations from the front desk, your phone, or remotely while travelling. Revenue managers and owners monitor sales-per-outlet dashboards without being on property.
Automatic backups
Every transaction is stored centrally and backed up on the server side. A terminal failure doesn't mean data loss — log in from any device and resume service.
Zero maintenance overhead
No server rooms, no Windows updates to manage, no hardware refresh cycles. Updates are deployed centrally, so every outlet runs the same version.
Multi-property consolidation
Hotel groups see F&B revenue across all properties in one dashboard — no end-of-day manual reporting rollups.
EloPMS F&B sits on the same database as your cloud hotel PMS, creating one unified guest ledger from check-in → restaurant charge-to-room → folio settlement at checkout. A separate on-premise POS has to hand data over on a batch sync; here the folio updates the moment the server posts the order.
Security note: cloud platforms centralise encryption in transit, access control and server-side backups rather than leaving them to each site. Cybersecurity threats targeting food-service businesses have risen sharply since 2022, which makes centrally-maintained security infrastructure worth the move.
Cloud POS vs traditional on-premise POS
| Feature | Cloud POS (EloPMS) | Traditional on-premise POS |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | No servers required; runs in the browser | On-site server, local database and IT infrastructure |
| Access | Anywhere with internet — mobile, tablet, desktop | On-property only; tied to physical terminals |
| Data backup | Centralised server-side backup | Manual backups; risk of local data loss |
| Updates | Deployed centrally for every outlet | Manual installation; often needs IT support |
| Multi-property | Consolidated reporting across all locations | Each property isolated; manual reporting rollups |
| Internet dependency | Requires a working internet connection | Runs without internet |
| Upfront cost | Low — subscription based | High — server hardware, licences, installation |
| Scalability | Add outlets and properties without new hardware | Needs additional hardware and server capacity |
| Integration | One database with PMS, accounting and channel manager | Limited; often middleware or nightly batch syncs |
Cloud-based POS delivers speed, scalability and simpler integration — qualities increasingly essential for multi-outlet hotel operations. (Source)
Know the true cost of every plate.
Margins in F&B live and die on food cost. Build a recipe once and every sale consumes the exact ingredients, values them at weighted-average cost, and traces gross margin back to the plate.
Every outlet its own business — one login, one ledger.
Restaurant, café, bar, banquet kitchen and gift shop each run as a distinct revenue and cost centre with their own stock, till and reports — while owners see them side by side and everything posts to one general ledger.
Every sale hits the ledger — no re-keying.
Outlet sales, food cost, cash variance and tax all post to a real double-entry core the moment they happen, so month-end is a report, not a reconstruction.
Automatic double-entry
Every outlet sale, purchase, cash movement and installment receipt posts to the general ledger automatically, with COGS drawn from actual sale-line cost. Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet and a live accounting dashboard are always current.
Real-time tax compliance
Flexible per-line and invoice tax worldwide, plus direct e-invoicing to Pakistan's FBR and Saudi Arabia's ZATCA/Fatoora — a per-receipt "Push to FBR" toggle stamps the printed receipt with the digital invoice number and a verification QR code.
City ledger & supplier control
Bill corporate diners and event clients on account with receivables aging; run a full supplier master with credit limits, statements and an AP-aging view — the same procure-to-pay pipeline that feeds your kitchen store.
One platform for every restaurant & outlet.
From a single café to a hotel's whole F&B floor — the capabilities that run your service, in one box.
Frequently asked questions: cloud POS for hotels
What is a cloud POS system?
A cloud-based POS system stores data on remote servers instead of local on-premise hardware. Staff access the POS from a browser on any device with an internet connection, and every transaction is recorded centrally across all terminals, outlets and properties. Cloud POS removes the need for on-site servers, manual backups and per-site IT maintenance.
Is cloud POS secure for hotel restaurant operations?
A cloud platform centralises the things that are easy to get wrong on-site: encryption in transit, user access control, role-based permissions, a full audit trail of who changed what, and server-side backups. EloPMS logs every action with user, timestamp, device and before/after values. Centrally-maintained systems also stay patched, unlike outdated on-premise POS installs that quietly fall behind.
Do I need internet for cloud POS to work?
Yes. EloPMS is a browser-based cloud system, so outlets need a working internet connection to take orders and post charges. For busy F&B floors we recommend a redundant connection — a backup 4G/5G link alongside the primary line — so service continues through an outage of the main ISP. This is the main trade-off against a traditional on-premise POS, which runs locally but gives up central reporting, remote access and automatic backups.
Can cloud POS handle charge-to-room for hotel guests?
Yes. EloPMS F&B and the hotel PMS share one database, so a restaurant order charged to a room lands on the guest folio as it is posted. A separate on-premise POS has to push that data across on a batch sync; here the front desk sees current F&B charges on the folio without waiting for end-of-day processing.
How much does cloud-based hotel POS cost?
Cloud POS is priced as a subscription, which avoids the upfront cost of on-premise server hardware and installation. EloPMS pricing depends on the number of outlets, properties and modules. Start a 14-day free trial or schedule a demo for a quote.
