Frequently asked questions
Specific to fast food operations.
Can prices change by time of day?
Yes. Set daypart or happy-hour pricing and the till applies the right price automatically — breakfast combos in the morning, happy-hour drinks in the evening.
Does it integrate with a kitchen display?
Yes. Use any LAN-connected screen as a KDS; route each item to its station (kitchen, bar, dessert) and hold later courses until you fire them.
How fast is checkout?
A combo with modifiers and M-Pesa pay typically clears in under 8 seconds once your menu and tile layout are configured.
