Three pillars of your operation.

The features your front-of-house, kitchen, and management team rely on every shift.

Table & Floor Management

Open, manage, and close tables from a live floor view. Transfer covers between waiters, hold items by course and fire when ready. Handle dine-in, takeaway, and collection orders from one screen. Mark items as sold out instantly and split bills without headaches.

Your floor is the engine of your restaurant. MangoPOS gives you a live bird's-eye view of every open table — how long they've been open, what's been ordered, and who's serving. Drag-and-drop table transfers mean no awkward handover conversations between staff. Course-based hold & send workflows let your kitchen pace service perfectly, so starters don't land at the same time as mains.

Dine In Takeaway Collection

Kitchen Display System (KDS)

Orders route automatically to the right station — kitchen or bar — with large DINE IN / TAKEAWAY labels. Ready, recall, and recent logic keeps the production flow moving. Thermal printing per station with configurable copy counts.

Replace printed tickets with a live display that never fades, smudges, or gets lost under a sauce pan. Orders fire directly from the POS to the correct station the moment a waiter submits them. The KDS shows order type in large text — DINE IN vs TAKEAWAY — so the kitchen always knows the context. When a dish is ready, one tap marks it done and updates the waiter's view in real time.

Split Routing Thermal Print Hold & Send

Reporting & Reconciliation

Daily Z-Reports, weekly summaries, and monthly P&L — broken down by service type, waiter, VAT, expenses, and tips. Waiter cashup captures declared cash, variance, and tips per shift.

Reporting in MangoPOS isn't an afterthought — it's the backbone of your operation. Every shift produces a detailed Z-Report: gross sales, net sales, VAT, cash vs card, tips, and expenses. Waiter cashup forces staff to declare their cash before clocking out, surfacing variances before they become disputes. Monthly P&L gives you a full profit picture with estimated COGS, labour %, and gross margin.

Z-Report Waiter Cashup VAT Breakdown
Role-Based Access
Waiter, manager, admin, and super-admin permission levels — PIN-protected throughout your operation
Timeclock & Shifts
Staff clock in to open shifts. Managers open and close the day — no open tables can block a clock-out
House Accounts & Tips
Charge to business accounts, enforce reference codes, and reconcile tips at cashup with full audit trail

Every tool your team needs. Built right in.

No add-ons to buy, no integrations to set up. All 27+ features are included in your single plan.

Role-Based Permissions
Four access levels — waiter, manager, admin, and super-admin. PIN-protected login. Sensitive actions like voids, refunds, and expense approvals require a manager PIN.
Menu & Product Management
Add, edit, disable, and reorder products by category. Attach modifier groups with custom options. Mark items sold out with one tap. Mandatory validation prevents incomplete products reaching your floor.
Inventory & Stock Control
Track stock items by unit, cost, and quantity with weighted average cost. Link menu items to ingredients via recipe mapping so stock deducts automatically on sale.
Suppliers & Purchase Orders
Create and manage purchase orders, receive stock in full or partially, and leave the balance open. Upload delivery notes, distribute landed costs, and track credit notes for shortages.
Payments: Cash, Card & House
Accept cash, card, split payments, or charge to a house account in a single flow. Service charge handled as business income or tip — reflected correctly in reporting.
Takeaway & Collection Orders
Takeaway mode uses shift-based order numbers for fast-turnaround service. Collection orders capture customer name, cell, and email for phone-in or pickup jobs.
Customer Directory
Build and manage a customer directory. Collection order customers are saved automatically so repeat orders are faster. Customer info appears on collection receipts.
Expenses & Petty Cash
Log petty cash expenses from the main till with manager PIN required. Expenses reduce the waiter's cash liability and feed into the shift Z-report.
Transaction Journal & Audit
Managers can search every historical transaction. Reopen a paid bill, correct a payment method, or void with reason logging. Every action creates a before-and-after snapshot.
Thermal Printing per Station
ESC/POS printing for bills, kitchen tickets, bar chits, and cashup slips. Map printers to stations and configure copy counts — kitchen gets two copies, bar gets one.
Waiter Performance Reports
Track transactions, average bill value, void count, tips, and hours per shift. Weekly and monthly views give the strategic picture including net revenue and expense totals.
Recipe & Plate Costing
Link menu items to stock ingredients. The menu editor calculates cost per plate and shows gross profit in Rands and % — colour-coded green, orange, or red so margin problems are visible at a glance.

Features your current POS probably doesn't have.

These three capabilities are why operators move from legacy systems to MangoPOS.

01

Recipe mapping & plate costing

Map ingredients to menu items with live cost calculation. Deduct by unit or by measurement (e.g. 45ml from a 750ml bottle). See portions-per-container and cost per ingredient line. Gross profit shown in Rands and % — colour-coded green, orange, or red on every menu item.

GP% Live on every menu item
02

Stock take & variance reporting

One-tap stock take with printable count sheets sorted by location. Count on any device — each line saves instantly. Two-step workflow: staff count, manager approves. Auto-generated variance report grouped by Fridge, Bar, and Storage with full audit history.

2-step Count → Approve → Posted
03

Daily, weekly & monthly P&L

Z-Reports with cash vs card breakdown. Weekly sales by category, labour cost %, best & worst sellers, and busy-hour heatmaps. Monthly P&L with estimated COGS, gross profit, and net margin. Every report exportable as PDF.
