Everything in OneBookPlus Restaurant
Full POS on any device
Take dine-in, takeaway, pickup and delivery orders from a tablet, phone or laptop. Assign tables and covers, apply flat or percentage discounts, add tips at settlement, record cash or card, and print a receipt with GST itemised.
Menu management built in
Build your menu once: categories, items, descriptions, photos, prices and dietary tags. Toggle an item off with one tap when it sells out mid-service and it vanishes from the POS instantly. Free on every plan.
QR code digital menu
Print a QR code for your tables and customers browse the live menu on their phones, photos, prices and dietary tags included. Sold-out items disappear the moment you toggle them off in Menu Management.
Tables and floor plans
Lay out your venue as it actually is: multiple rooms, real seat counts, a visual floor plan editor. Table status updates as POS orders are placed and settled, so front of house always sees the true state of the room.
Reservations and waitlist
Take bookings with party size, time, notes and table assignment. Track confirmed, seated and no-show statuses, run a waitlist for busy nights, and see tonight's reservations on the dashboard beside live orders.
End-of-day register close
The till count that checks itself. Expected cash and card figures come from the day's closed POS orders; enter your float and counts, see the variance instantly, and get a recommended banking deposit.
Recipe and plate costing
Build each dish from its ingredients with quantities, unit costs and a wastage percentage. Know the true cost of every plate before you price the menu, and reprice with confidence when supplier costs move.
Sales straight into your books
Daily sales pre-fill from closed POS orders and post into OneBookPlus accounting with GST handled. Your P&L and BAS-ready GST summary build themselves as you trade: nothing to export, nothing to re-key.
Kitchen display (coming soon)
A live kitchen screen replacing paper dockets: orders arrive from the POS with timing indicators, staff mark items preparing or ready, and front of house sees status in real time. Coming soon as a $19/mo add-on.

How OneBookPlus Restaurant works
Set up your venue
Create rooms and tables with the floor plan editor, build your menu with categories, prices and dietary tags, and print QR codes for the tables. Most venues are ready to trade the same day.
Run your service
Take dine-in, takeaway, pickup and delivery orders through the POS on any device. Table status updates live, discounts and tips are handled at settlement, and every printed receipt itemises the GST.
Close the register
Open the end-of-day screen, count the till against expected cash and card from the day's closed orders, log the variance and bank the recommended deposit. Daily sales post into your accounting automatically.
Review and refine
Check the restaurant dashboard for revenue, covers and average order value. Use recipe costing to check plate margins, then adjust menu prices or availability before the next service.
Restaurant Management Software Australia
Running a restaurant in Australia means managing daily sales, GST compliance, supplier costs, menu changes, table layouts, and order flow, often across dine-in, takeaway, and delivery channels simultaneously. OneBook Plus Restaurant brings all of these into a single platform built specifically for Australian hospitality businesses.
Unlike POS-only systems like Square or Lightspeed, OneBook Plus connects your venue operations to your accounting. Daily sales are logged with GST automatically split out. Supplier invoices are tracked as expenses. Your profit margin per service period is visible in real-time, not something you discover weeks later when your accountant processes the books.
For cafes doing quick counter service, restaurants managing table reservations, or takeaway kitchens handling online orders, OneBook Plus Restaurant adapts. Build your menu with categories and dietary tags. Set up your floor plan with tables and rooms. Track orders from placed to completed. Log end-of-day sales in under 2 minutes. And when BAS time comes, your GST summary is already done.
The restaurant POS is part of a wider hospitality toolkit: you can see how cafes run counter service on OneBookPlus, explore the full package for restaurants, browse the hospitality hub, or read about the Point of Sale app.

Example walkthrough
A day with OneBook Plus Restaurant
How a Melbourne restaurant owner manages a Friday night service
Marco checks his dashboard at 3pm, 8 reservations tonight, 2 pending confirmations. He confirms them with a tap. His floor plan shows tables 1-4 reserved, the rest available for walk-ins.
During service, orders flow through the POS: dine-in tables get items from the menu, takeaway orders are tracked separately. Each order calculates GST automatically. The kitchen display shows incoming orders in real-time, no paper tickets.
At 11pm, Marco closes out the register: $6,200 in sales across card ($4,800), cash ($1,100), and UberEats ($300). He logs daily sales in under 2 minutes. His weekly P&L shows food cost at 31%, labour at 28%, right on target. When BAS is due, his accountant gets a clean GST summary without Marco touching a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about OneBookPlus Restaurant.
Is OneBookPlus a full restaurant POS system?
Yes. The Point of Sale app turns any tablet, phone or laptop into a POS terminal: dine-in, takeaway, pickup and delivery orders, table and cover assignment, flat or percentage discounts, tips, cash and card payment recording, and printed receipts with GST itemised. It is not a hardware terminal, so there is no proprietary equipment to lease and nothing stranded if you change devices.
How much does the restaurant POS software cost?
Point of Sale is a $39/mo add-on with a 14-day free trial. Menu Management and Table Management are free on every plan, as are contacts, invoicing and quoting on the free tier. Compare that with terminal-based systems where you pay per register plus hardware: with OneBookPlus, every device you already own is a register.
Do I need special hardware to run the POS?
No. The POS runs in any modern browser, so an iPad at the counter, an older Android tablet by the pass and the office laptop can all take orders for the same venue. Receipts print through the standard browser print dialog to your existing printer. If a device dies mid-service, sign in on another and keep going.
How does the QR code menu work?
Menu Management generates a printable QR code that links to the live menu on your OneBookPlus website. Customers scan it at the table and browse categories, prices, photos and dietary tags on their phone. When you toggle an item off after selling out, it disappears from the QR menu at the same moment it leaves the POS.
Can I take reservations without OpenTable or a booking widget subscription?
Yes. Reservations are built in: party size, time, table assignment, notes, and statuses for confirmed, seated and no-show, plus a waitlist for walk-ins when the floor is full. Tonight's bookings show on your restaurant dashboard beside live orders, so the front desk works from one screen instead of a paper diary and a separate app.
What does end-of-day reconciliation look like?
The end-of-day screen already knows what to expect: cash and card totals from the day's closed POS orders. You enter your opening float and count the drawer, and it computes the variance live and recommends how much to bank after leaving tomorrow's float. There is a notes field for the inevitable twenty-dollar IOU, so next week you remember why the count was out.
Does it integrate with Uber Eats, DoorDash or Menulog?
Not yet: automatic delivery-platform sync is on the roadmap. Today you record delivery orders through the POS using the delivery order type, so platform sales still land in your daily totals, reports and end-of-day figures. Many venues reconcile the weekly platform payout against those logged orders.
Can the POS split bills?
Flat and percentage discounts and tips are supported at settlement today. Item-level bill splitting is on the roadmap. Until then, a shared table can be settled as separate smaller orders, or taken as one payment with the printed receipt itemising every line and the GST so the group can sort it out.
How does it handle GST and BAS?
Every order shows GST included on screen and on the printed receipt. Daily sales flow into the same OneBookPlus accounting that holds your supplier bills and expenses, so your BAS-ready GST summary (G1, 1A, 1B) builds itself as you trade instead of being reconstructed from till rolls each quarter.
Can I track food costs and supplier bills?
Yes. Record supplier bills as expenses, and use recipe costing to build each dish from its ingredients with quantities, unit costs and a wastage percentage, so you know the true plate cost before you set the menu price. Sales on one side, supplier spend and plate costs on the other, all in one P&L.
