Lavu POS
Keep Tables Turning and Lines Flowing
First impressions count, particularly in the restaurant business. When customers walk into your eating establishment, they quickly assess the décor, the food, the staff, and more. From these first impressions, they may determine whether to stay or not. You need to hook them from the get-go, and Lavu can help.

Ability to create a combo without using forced modifiers.
Allows for pricing, for individual items or as a whole combo.

Ability to enable the dual cash drawer feature on any POS terminal.
Allows cash drawers to be managed more effectively.
Server is automatically connected to the correct drawer when they pin-in.
Updated reporting reflects cash drawer and terminal usage, such as till reports and activity logs..
Manager may override any drawer using their manager PIN.

Connect Your Menu and Inventory
Keep track of what you have in stock by linking your inventory items with your menu items—including modifiers. Lavu’s inventory system keeps tally in real-time and even notifies servers when an item is about to be 86ed.
Transfer Items to Meet Location Needs
If your establishment has multiple locations, you can transfer goods from one location to another via the inventory system. Never run low on menu items, no matter how much is going on.
Improve Profit Margins
Poor inventory management translates into lower profits. The key to a successful restaurant or bar is to have exactly what’s needed—no more and no less. Cut back on wasteful spending, and identify where you can make more money instead.
