Hear how we’re giving new restaurants the best start

Don’t just take our word for it. See how Heartland’s restaurant POS software and commercial grade hardware is helping restaurants find success from day one.

Point of sale pricing varies based on several criteria, including the size of your restaurant and functionalities you need. Different providers have different pricing models, as well. Some may have higher upfront costs and lower monthly fees, while others let you “get started for free” but have higher monthly fees. Many have custom premium plans for larger businesses with advanced needs. There may also be payment processing fees and add-on app costs involved. Check out Heartland’s point of sale plans and get a quick quote.

A restaurant POS system is made up of POS software and hardware and helps the restaurant industry serve guests, process transactions and manage daily operations. The best restaurant POS systems also have built-in online ordering platforms, loyalty programs, CRM tools, inventory management and menu management functionality.

Restaurant owners can no longer rely on handwritten tickets and outdated cash registers. To succeed in the restaurant industry today, you need a flexible cloud-based POS system built for the unique needs of restaurants. It’s key to keeping your staff agile, your order accurate and your guests happy.

We service fast casual, full service restaurants and quick service restaurants, from counter service cafes to five-star sit downs.

We understand that the early days of launching a restaurant are both thrilling and challenging. Heartland’s restaurant management system makes it a little easier with features that simplify and automate restaurant operations from your very first service. With quick onboarding, customizable training and a user-friendly interface, we make sure you have everything you need to open your doors with confidence.

Sure can. During your personalized onboarding, we’ll talk through your business’ unique challenges and goals to make sure you’re equipped with and trained on the tools you’ll need to address them. You can also add on any of our third-party integrations at any time, or use our developer-friendly open API to build your own.

At Heartland, restaurant POS experts are just a call or click away. You’ll have 24/7/365 access to live agent assistance via text, chat, email and phone.

Not all payment processors are created equal. To help you tell the difference between a provider who values your business and one that’s all talk, we created the Merchant Bill of Rights — so you can pick a payment processor that has your best interest in mind. Because small business owners like you deserve radical transparency and fairness.

With Heartland, offering the same experience customers love and expect when they dine with you in-person is just as easy to recreate at home. Our online ordering platform is already built into the POS, so you (and your kitchen) can see dine-in, to-go and delivery orders from one central hub instead of disconnect systems, keeping the kitchen paced and fulfillment a breeze. Customers can order via a web browser or intuitive mobile app and will get accurate wait time estimates.

Heartland’s commercial-grade hardware is sleek, durable and user-friendly. Choose from a customer-facing touchscreen countertop device, and/or handheld POS that fits in your palm, pocket or apron. We can also hook you up with your cash drawer, receipt printer and kitchen display system.

In person and online, you can accept:

  • Credit cards
  • Debit cards
  • Gift cards
  • Mobile payments
  • ...and more

You’ll have access to a real-time custom reporting engine that lets you track sales, customers, inventory, promotions, server performance, taxes and more — giving you the insights you need to make the best decisions for your growing business. Even better? Run every sales report from anywhere on any device.
