Welcome to QuickPOS
A professional point of sale system that runs entirely on your local network. No subscriptions, no cloud, no internet dependency — your data never leaves your premises.
What is QuickPOS?
QuickPOS is a desktop POS application for small hospitality and retail businesses. It installs on a till PC like any other app — double-click the installer and it is ready to use. All other devices in your venue connect to it over your local Wi-Fi network.
Everything runs on your own hardware. Products, orders, settings and sales data are stored as files on your till PC. Nothing is sent to any external server, no third party ever sees your data, and the system works perfectly even when your internet connection is down.
Built for hospitality and retail
QuickPOS adapts to your business type. Set it to Hospitality for cafés, restaurants and takeaways, or Retail for shops and boutiques. The service modes, labels and workflows change accordingly throughout the app.
| Hospitality | Retail | |
|---|---|---|
| Service modes | Takeaway, Eat In, Delivery | Collection, Delivery |
| Order display | Kitchen Display | Stockroom Display |
| Order workflow | Start Order → Preparing → Complete | Start Picking → Picking → Packed |
| Product detail field | Product Description (same field for both types — use it for ingredients, allergens or any detailed product information) | |
