What it is

A hotel restaurant is not a standalone restaurant, and running it on standalone software is where the re-keying starts. Orian's point of sale covers every outlet, restaurant, bar, pool, room service, with a table floor plan, an order pad with modifiers, and a kitchen display that sees the order as it is rung up. Settlement is where it earns its place: cash, card, bank transfer, a house account, a split across several tenders, or charge to room, which posts a folio line with service charge and VAT already split correctly. And because menu items can map to inventory items, a settled sale deducts its recipe components without anyone counting bottles.

A round at the bar reaches the room bill first

Settle to room and the charge posts to the guest folio immediately, with service charge and VAT split by the same calculator the invoice uses. The desk never reconciles a POS printout at checkout.

Stock that keeps itself

Menu items can point at inventory items, and recipes consume their components. A settled sale draws the stock down, so purchase, wastage and stock-take numbers stay meaningful instead of drifting all month.

Cashiers close honestly

A session opens with a float and every order attaches to it. Closing counts the cash, compares it to expected, and produces a Z-report with the variance on it, the number a manager actually wants.

How it runs

A day with it, in four moves.

1

The order is taken

At the table on a phone, at a terminal, or by the guest from the portal. All three create the same order object against the same table or room.

2

The kitchen sees it

It appears on the kitchen display as it is rung up, with modifiers, so nothing is shouted across a pass or lost on a docket.

3

Stock moves

On settlement, recipe components are deducted from inventory, which is what keeps your cost of goods honest without a weekly count.

4

The money lands

Cash and card record payments; charge-to-room posts to the folio with tax split; a house account posts a charge against its credit limit. Nothing is entered twice.

Recorded in the product

This is the real screen.

Before you ask

Point of sale, answered.

Does a charge to the room appear on the folio immediately?

Yes. Settling to room posts a booking charge on the guest's folio at that moment, with the service charge and VAT split by the same calculator that produces the invoice, so the desk and the guest see the same number.

Can one bill be paid with more than one tender?

Yes. The settle endpoint accepts an array of payments, so a bill can be part cash, part card, part house account, and it is labelled as a split. Each tender still records its own payment for reporting and the GL export.

How does inventory know what a cocktail used?

A menu item can point at an inventory item, and an inventory item can be a recipe made of components. When the order settles, Orian walks the recipe and deducts each component, so pouring a cocktail moves the spirit, the mixer and the garnish.

Can guests order room service themselves?

Yes. The guest portal's dining tab shows the real POS menu, and an order creates a normal POS order tagged with their room. It appears on the same kitchen display as a waiter's order and settles to the folio through the usual charge-to-room flow, nothing is re-keyed.
