A POS built for how halal venues actually trade
Big family tables, sharing platters, late-night dessert rushes and the hardest service of the year at iftar. Servio runs the till, QR ordering, kitchen display and analytics as one system, from £79/month on the devices you already own.
The service patterns most POS systems ignore
Halal restaurants, grill houses and dessert lounges run a different shape of service to the venues most till software is designed around. Parties are larger and stay longer. Orders arrive in waves rather than one round. A lot of trade lands late in the evening, and once a year an entire room orders within the same ten minutes. None of that is exotic — it is just not what a system built around a bar tab is tuned for. Servio is built around table-side ordering and a connected kitchen, which is exactly what those patterns need.
Built for the big table
Large parties stay on one table across a long meal, latecomers add to the same order from their own phone, and the bill splits at the end instead of one person covering everything.
Ready for the iftar peak
When the whole room orders at once, QR ordering takes the orders in parallel and the kitchen screen sequences them by station, so the pass is reading tickets rather than untangling them.
Modifiers that survive the rush
Mixed grills, sharing platters, spice levels, sauces and swaps carry through to the kitchen exactly as the guest entered them, because nobody re-typed them.
Who this fits
Halal restaurants and grill houses, dessert lounges and shisha-adjacent dessert venues, charcoal and BBQ kitchens, halal takeaways and chicken shops, and family cafés — most of them independent, owner-run and busiest exactly when everything else is closing. If you are one of those, the venue-specific guides for restaurants, takeaways and cafés cover the detail, and the dessert lounge weekend story is the closest thing we have to a walkthrough of a rush like yours.
What it costs
The same as it does for every venue we serve, and it is all published on the pricing page: £79 Starter for the till, QR ordering and a single-station kitchen display, or £199 Growth when you need multi-station routing, table management, inventory and analytics for a busier room. No hardware to buy, no contract, and payments through Stripe at Stripe's published rates with no markup. Founding venues can start a 30-day pilot free.
Common questions
What should a halal restaurant look for in a POS system?
The same things any busy food-led venue needs, plus a few that matter more: modifier handling for sharing platters and mixed grills, table management for large family groups, split and part payments at the end of a long meal, and a kitchen display that copes when most of the room orders at once. Servio includes the till, QR ordering and kitchen display from £79/month and runs on tablets you already own.
Does Servio work for the iftar rush during Ramadan?
That simultaneous rush is the hardest service of the year: a full room ordering within minutes of each other, then the kitchen needing everything out together. QR ordering lets guests order from the table before and during the rush without waiting for staff, and every order lands in the same queue routed to the right kitchen station, so the pass is sequencing tickets rather than deciphering shouted orders. Growth adds multi-station routing and table management for exactly this.
Can it handle large family groups and split bills?
Yes. Table management on the Growth plan keeps large parties on one table across a long service, and payments can be split at the end rather than forcing one person to cover the lot. QR ordering also means people arriving later can add to the same table order from their own phone.
We trade late — does that cause any problem?
No. There is nothing on-premise to lock up or reboot, the system is browser-based on your own devices, and short internet drops do not stop service because it re-syncs when the connection returns. Late-night dessert and grill trade is one of the busiest patterns we see.
Do you work with venues that are not halal?
Yes. Servio is built for independent food-led hospitality across the UK — cafés, restaurants, dessert lounges, bakeries, takeaways and food trucks — and halal venues are a large part of that. The product is the same whoever is running it.
