Frequently asked questions
Everything about the restaurant management system
What is a restaurant management system?
It is an integrated system covering restaurant operations end to end: menu management, table QR ordering, online delivery and pickup orders, POS, kitchen display and table reservations. All modules share a single data source, so a price change or a stock-out is reflected across every channel at once.
Does the kitchen see orders instantly?
Yes. Orders from the POS, the QR menu and your website appear on the kitchen display at the moment of entry, colour-coded by elapsed waiting time. Courses can be fired independently so that dishes leave the pass together.
Can I take delivery orders without paying marketplace commission?
Yes. Orders placed through your own channels carry no marketplace commission. Delivery zones are defined by distance with individual fees and minimum order values, and addresses beyond the defined range are declined at checkout. Deliveries can also be assigned to an on-demand courier network where no in-house fleet exists.
Does the till keep working if the internet goes down?
Cash transactions continue in offline mode and synchronise once connectivity is restored. Card payments and fiscal signing require an active connection by design; the system informs the operator rather than recording an uncollected payment as settled.
Does it issue legal receipts and work with my accountant?
Yes. Fiscal receipt signing is included in every plan, as unsigned sales are not permitted in much of Europe. Paid plans additionally post each trading day to your accounting system automatically.
How much does ControlCMS restaurant software cost, and is there a free plan or trial?
ControlCMS restaurant management comes in three tiers: a free Starter plan (up to 10 orders per month, including the QR menu, POS, kitchen display, tables, reservations and fiscal receipts), plus paid Pro and Ultra plans for higher order volumes and advanced features such as accounting integration, offline POS mode and card terminal integration. Rather than fixed published figures, plans are priced through our partner network, so contact sales for a quote tailored to your operation and country. There is no on-premise licence to buy and no setup cost beyond your chosen plan.
Does ControlCMS take a commission or per-transaction fee on my sales?
No. ControlCMS is billed as a fixed monthly subscription; it does not take a percentage of your revenue or add a per-order fee to orders placed through your own channels. You keep your existing payment processor and its rates, and delivery or pickup orders from your own website and QR menu carry no marketplace commission. Only your chosen plan and any optional add-ons, such as a custom domain or professional email, are charged.
Can I switch to ControlCMS from Toast, Square for Restaurants, TouchBistro, GloriaFood or Loyverse without rebuilding my menu?
Yes. You do not need to re-enter your menu by hand: the built-in AI assistant imports your existing menu, including categories, items and prices, so moving over from Toast, Square for Restaurants, TouchBistro, GloriaFood, Loyverse or any current system is quick. Once the menu is loaded and tables and hours are set, the QR codes are published and orders begin arriving on the kitchen display, typically the same day. Our partners assist with the switch, staff training and local support.
Is ControlCMS a good alternative to Toast?
It can be, particularly for operators who want their own commission-free ordering channels and the freedom to keep their own payment processor and hardware. Where Toast is closely tied to its own payment processing and proprietary terminals, ControlCMS is a cloud platform that runs on any tablet or terminal with no on-premise installation, and it bundles the QR menu, online ordering, POS, kitchen display, tables, reservations, delivery zones and fiscal receipts in a single subscription. Deployment, training and local support are handled through our partner network. The right fit depends on your market and payment setup, so comparing both against your requirements is advisable.
How does ControlCMS compare to Square for Restaurants, GloriaFood or Loyverse?
GloriaFood focuses on online ordering, Loyverse on a lightweight POS, and Square for Restaurants on POS tied to Square payments; ControlCMS combines all of these areas — QR menu and online ordering, POS with offline cash mode, kitchen display, tables, reservations, delivery zones and on-demand courier, plus fiscal receipts and accounting integration — in one integrated platform. Because every module shares a single data source, a price change or a sold-out item updates across the QR menu, POS and website at once. A free Starter plan lets smaller venues begin without upfront cost, while Pro and Ultra scale with order volume.
Can ControlCMS handle multiple branches and menus in several languages?
Yes. You can run multiple branches from a single panel (available as an add-on), each with its own menu, currency and timezone, while the QR menu is shown to each guest in their own language — so a multilingual menu needs no separate site and the menu, POS and website content stay in sync from one source. Larger groups can also run each venue on its own account, and your partner helps coordinate setup across sites.
What hardware do I need, and does ControlCMS work with my existing tablets, printers and card terminal?
No proprietary hardware is required. ControlCMS is cloud-based and runs on any tablet or terminal through the browser, with no on-premise installation. Printer management supports receipt, kitchen, bar and label printers, with category-based routing, paper width and copy count configured per printer, and failed print jobs are retried rather than discarded. Card terminal integration is available on the Ultra plan. Because it is not tied to a single device brand, you can start on equipment you already own.
