An essential tool for restaurant owners, the Horeca cash register must be chosen with care. In order to truly contribute to the growth of your business, a restaurant cash register must be reliable, fast and efficient. But how do you choose a cash register system that is perfectly suited to your needs? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect device.

Modern, high-performance cash register software

Adopting high-performance POS software is essential for optimising restaurant management. Unlike traditional models, today's hospitality POS systems often offer a wide range of comprehensive features. These allow you to manage your business with ease.

Turning to modern software is therefore essential to optimise your efficiency and that of your employees. Choose an ergonomic and intuitive system. In addition, make sure that your cash register software offers a wide range of options, including:

  • stock management;
  • customer management;
  • provision of sales statistics;
  • etc.

In addition, it is important to choose a cash register that is suited to your restaurant business. Your device must therefore include a module for:

  • online booking;
  • room and table management;
  • order via QR code;
  • etc.

5 Essential criteria for making the right choice:

  1. An innovative system that regularly develops new features to adapt to rapidly changing industry trends and stay in tune with your customers.
  2. An intuitive interface, because you need to be able to quickly master the tool and easily welcome students during your festive periods.
  3. A solution that will save you time and money by offering an integrated ecosystem to avoid double encoding, such as order terminals, Click&Collect, or QR codes.
  4. Customer support ready to help you solve your everyday problems.
  5. A price tailored to your needs.

Cash register software in Belgium: which one should you choose?

There is a wide variety of cash register software available, each with its own specific features. Here is a comparison of the most reputable software programs.

Lightspeed

Casio

Restomax

The Lightspeed restaurant POS system is designed to be simple and efficient. But while it offers numerous features, Lightspeed has one major drawback: customer proximity.

The company's FR support is based in Canada. As a result, response times may be quite long if you have any questions.

Similarly, the company uses external partners for order terminals, Click & Collect, kitchen screens, etc. As a result, the Lightspeed ecosystem is not very consistent.

Furthermore, the rates remain quite high compared to other systems such as Restomax.


With Casio software, restaurant owners have access to a modern and elegant management system. Easy to use, Casio cash registers are inexpensive: prices are competitive and meet the needs of small establishments.

However, the low prices are also due to the limited options available. For restaurants that want to demonstrate their modernity and expand their business with peace of mind, investing in a much more powerful system is highly recommended.

Restomax's cash register software is among the most powerful on the market. It is intuitive to use and offers a comprehensive range of features that are perfectly suited to the needs of the hospitality industry.

Ergonomic and modern, Restomax software is available on Android and iOS. It allows restaurant owners to manage not only their kitchens but also their turnover. Its biggest advantage? Its unbeatable price. 

Mais ce n’est pas tout ! RESTOMAX also stands out for its Belgian character. This is a guarantee of proximity and quality, enabling the company to contribute to the development of the local economy. 

What's more, we develop and support all applications in-house. The result? A genuine guarantee of ecosystem consistency.

In conclusion

To manage your restaurant with complete peace of mind, it is essential to equip yourself with a high-performance hospitality cash register. Easy to use, Restomax is particularly popular. It incorporates modern features and allows you to manage your restaurant and its turnover with precision.
