Why South African restaurants need a better POS
Running a restaurant in South Africa means juggling front-of-house, kitchen, staff, stock, and cash — often on outdated systems that charge monthly and crash during load shedding.
That's why we built MangoPOS — a modern restaurant pos designed from the ground up for South African hospitality. The MangoPOS Restaurant POS runs on hardware you already own, works offline during load shedding, and costs nothing per month. Just a once-off R299 setup and 1.5% per transaction after your free 30 days.
Whether you're opening your first restaurant in Stellenbosch or running a chain across Johannesburg, our restaurant pos gives you table management, kitchen display, staff timeclock, cashup reports, inventory tracking, and end-of-day reconciliation — all included, no add-ons required.
The MangoPOS Restaurant POS is trusted by restaurants across South Africa. It's lightweight, data-efficient, and built to handle the unique challenges of the South African food and beverage industry — from loadshedding to SARS-compliant VAT reporting.
Everything your restaurant needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Table Management for your Restaurant
Open, close, and transfer tables between waiters. The MangoPOS Restaurant POS tracks covers, split bills, and closed table summaries in real time — everything a Restaurant needs.
Kitchen Display System (KDS)
Separate kitchen and bar screens with ticket-based ordering. Items auto-route to the right station in your Restaurant. Mark as preparing, then ready — no paper dockets.
Cashup & End-of-Day Reports
Every shift ends with a proper cashup. The Restaurant POS generates Z-Reports, variance tracking, and PDF end-of-day reports — so your Restaurant's books are always balanced.
Staff Timeclock & Wages
Staff clock in with PINs and clock out through a cashup flow. The Restaurant POS tracks hours worked, wages (hourly, weekly, monthly), and ties it to your Restaurant's daily revenue.
Smart Inventory for your Restaurant
Real-time stock counts with low-stock alerts. Whether you run a busy Restaurant or a small café, MangoPOS helps you track what's selling and what's sitting.
Daily, Weekly & Monthly Reports
Sales by category, labour cost ratios, best sellers, and busy-hour heatmaps. The Restaurant POS gives your Restaurant the data it needs to grow.
Split Payments & Tips
Cash, card, or split — with built-in tip entry and automatic change calculation. A Restaurant POS feature that your Restaurant staff and customers will love.
Role-Based Security
PIN-based login with three roles: Admin, Manager, Waiter. Each role sees different navigation in the Restaurant POS, so your Restaurant's data stays secure.
Works During Load Shedding
The MangoPOS Restaurant POS works offline during load shedding. Orders process locally and sync when power returns — critical for any Restaurant in South Africa.
Fully Configurable
Tax rates, currency, bill footer, tip lines, auto-lock — the Restaurant POS adapts to how your Restaurant operates. Gross or net settlement, your choice.
Simple Restaurant POS pricing
No monthly fees. No contracts. The MangoPOS Restaurant POS keeps it simple.
