Point of sale · Operations

Simplified point of sale for hotels, built into your PMS.

A standalone point of sale never knows the hotel around it. The TwikPMS register does: it sells the products you already price, knows who is in-house tonight, and puts a bar round on the stay or takes payment on the spot.

Included

Not an add-on.

The register, its tables, and charge to room come with TwikPMS, with nothing extra to license.

One catalog

Nothing to maintain twice.

The register sells the products your property already prices, so a beer at the bar is taxed the same as one on a room bill.

Any screen

Works where you stand.

The same register runs on the desk computer, a tablet behind the bar, and a phone on the terrace, and every register sees a new bill the moment another one opens it.

What's inside

Everything a hotel needs in a register.

Every bill the register opens is a real bill in TwikPMS, so it reaches your invoicing and reporting the way a room charge does. What the register adds is the speed to take an order while standing at the bar.

Ringing up

One tap per item, and the register keeps up.

Staff find the draft beer by its colour and icon rather than by reading a list, and a round goes on the bill as fast as they can tap it. Seasonal staff ring up their first order without a training day.

  • Give each product its own colour and icon, or let it take its category's
  • Arrange the keys the way your bar works, without reshuffling your product list
  • Only what you sell over the counter shows up, never nightly rates or packages

Bills and tables

Every open bill gets its own tab.

A round for the terrace and a walk-in at the desk never land on the same bill. A table can hold several open bills at once, which is what two parties sharing a table need, and a bill moves with the guests when they change tables.

Tables
Charge to room

Put it on the folio, settle it at checkout.

Search by room number or guest name, attach the in-house booking, and charge the bill. The charges move onto the guest's folio, so they sign at the bar and pay for the stay in one go.

  • Today's arrivals are badged, so a round never lands on last week's stay
  • Every charge shows on the booking with who rang it up and when

Payment

Take payment at the register.

Cash, a card on the terminal, or a payment taken on your own machine, recorded against the bill. A bill can settle in parts until nothing is left to pay.

Card · terminal € 38.50
Cash € 10.00
Left to pay € 0.00
Receipts

A receipt when they ask.

Closing a paid bill takes care of the invoice, and a quick sale nobody needs invoiced gets a receipt with the VAT on it, as a PDF you can print or share.

In practice

A day at the register.

The lobby bar

Rounds on the room.

A guest orders rounds all evening. One bill, charged to room 12 when they sign, settled with the stay at checkout.

The terrace

Two parties, one table.

Both get their own bill on the same table, so nobody pays for a stranger's coffee.

The front desk

The walk-in sale.

Someone buys a city map. Cash in, bill closed, receipt ready, and the sale is in tonight's reports.
