Vendors / Mainstream commercial restaurant POS

Rezku POS

iPad-based SMB restaurant POS from Guest Innovations, the rare vendor in this batch publishing real dollar figures ($99/mo for up to three stations, $19/mo per hardware bundle, $50/mo per kiosk, $399/mo marketing add-on) and marketing a pizza edition plus in-house driver dispatch — but every operational feature claim is marketing-level with no public product docs or API reference, and the published hardware price is a monthly bundle, not an outright purchase.

Partial

Supports splitting a check by item, by seat, by even N-way, and by arbitrary dollar/percentage amount, and merging checks or tables back together, including after partial payment.

order-capture-split-merge

Four split modes are documented: Split Order (More button, moves items off into a separate order), Itemized Split ("allows you to split checks by item"; when seats are in use each seat automatically becomes its own split, and shared items can be divided with the Split Even or Split Custom buttons), Split By Seat (auto-divides strictly by seat number), and Easy Split ("By default splits are even"; tap a split and "Enter the new amount" with the other splits auto-adjusting -- i.e. arbitrary dollar splits). Merging is documented on The "More" Button article: "Merge -- Merge another ticket into the active order. The merged ticket will close with the status 'merged'." Named shortfalls: no percentage-based split appears in any mode, and merging after a partial payment -- which the claim explicitly requires -- is documented nowhere in the live KB; the retired rezku.com/pos/support/merging-tickets page that covered merge restrictions now 302s to a dead Freshdesk portal and could not be read. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/splitting-orders-and-payments · retrieved 2026-08-04

order-capture-native-handheld

Not scored by this record.

Partial

With the internet down, terminals and handhelds can still create orders, apply modifiers, send to kitchen, and tender cash, and the vendor publishes what does and does not work offline.

order-capture-offline-order-entry

Offline Mode "allows you to store credit card transaction data if the internet is down and process the transactions when internet access is restored"; while offline, non-credit transactions -- "cash, gift card, external payment" -- and refunds can still be processed, so orders can be rung and cash-tendered on-terminal. Shortfall: the published offline scope is payments only. Neither this article nor Rezku POS App Settings (which offers just "Enable offline mode to store credit card payments" plus a View Offline History screen) says anything about modifiers, kitchen printing or KDS send while the WAN is down, and the Smart KDS article states "Both the POS and the KDS must be open and on the same network" with an on-screen error when they cannot communicate -- i.e. LAN-scoped, not WAN, but never stated as an offline guarantee. The vendor also caps it: "Offline Mode is designed for short term disruptions in the internet. Do not exceed 48 hours in Offline Mode." The claim's second half -- that the vendor publishes what does and does not work offline -- is not met. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/offline-mode · retrieved 2026-08-04

Partial

Accepts future-dated/scheduled orders with a per-channel lead time and automatically injects them into the make queue at a computed fire time rather than on receipt.

order-capture-scheduled-orders

Online Ordering Settings documents "Open for Pre-Orders -- When enabled, guests can place an order for days in advance" with a "Preorders Days In Advance" setting, and the POS permission list includes "Open orders for future dates". Shortfall: no per-channel lead time is configurable and no fire-time injection is documented -- the Order Settings article states kitchen printing happens only at "Checkout" (when the Checkout button is pressed, before payment) or at "Payment" (after the order is settled), with no computed release into the make queue. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/online-ordering-settings · retrieved 2026-08-03

Menu, modifiers & pricing engine

Partial

Supports modifier groups nested at least three levels deep, each level with independent min/max selection counts and a forced-selection (required) flag.

menu-pricing-nested-modifiers

Per-group selection control is fully there: "Minimum -- No less than this number of modifiers in the group can be selected, including quantity" and "Maximum -- No more than this number of modifiers in the group can be selected, including quantity", with requiredness implemented through the Minimum field ("This is used to make a modifier required") rather than a separate forced-selection flag. Named shortfall: depth. The vendor states the cap outright -- "Submodifiers can only nest one level deep. If a modifier in a group has any submodifiers already applied, that group can not be used as a submodifier in another group." That is two levels (modifier group -> modifier -> submodifier), not the three the claim asks for, and the second sentence is an explicit guard against chaining groups to get deeper. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/modifiers-and-submodifiers · retrieved 2026-08-04

B
Yes

A single modifier can carry different prices depending on the parent item and the selected size, configured as a matrix rather than by duplicating the modifier.

menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size

Variations article: "The modifier matrix allows you to change the price of modifiers based on product variants. This is ideal for something like Pizza, where the cost of toppings modifiers can change based on the size of the product." Configured per product under Product Properties > Modifier Matrix by picking a variation from a dropdown and entering that size's modifier price. The Modifiers and Submodifiers article independently confirms "Product / Modifier price matrices (Edit Modifier Matrix)" exist as a distinct object (they are not cloned when a modifier group is duplicated). A matrix, not per-size duplication. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/variations · retrieved 2026-08-03

Supports modifier quantity tiers (light / regular / extra / double) with a configurable price multiplier per tier, distinct from adding the modifier twice.

menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiers

CLAIM: modifier quantity tiers (light/regular/extra/double) with a configurable price multiplier per tier, distinct from adding the modifier twice. VERDICT: partial/B. NEW SURFACE (crt.sh %.rezku.com -> order.rezku.com): the Rezku Online Ordering Angular app, https://order.rezku.com/v2/main-D7PU7M36.js plus 26 lazy chunks at the ./chunk-*.js import fixpoint (27 files, 2.57 MB, anonymous, production; no source map: .map 403). It renders the merchant's Rezku menu configuration, so its data model is the vendor's shipped code (grade B). EVIDENCE: modifier groups carry per-tier switches 'hasToppingOptions(){return this.parent.detail.pizza_extra_option==!0||this.parent.detail.pizza_light_option==!0}'; the tier labels 'toppingOptionMap={light:"Light",extra:"Extra"}' and a null option shown as "Regular" ('t.toppingOption?this.capitalize(t.toppingOption):"Regular"'); the tier is a field on ONE modifier line ('topping_option:o.toppingOption' next to 'quantity:o.getQuantity(),pizza_side:o.pizzaSide'), i.e. distinct from adding the modifier twice. Pricing: 'let o=this.pizzaSettings?.upcharge_matrix.find(a=>a.modifier_id==r.detail.id&&a.variation_id==this.variation_id);o&&r.toppingOption=="extra"&&(t+=Number(o.price))' -- a configurable flat upcharge per modifier per size variation for Extra only; Light carries no price rule. Also half pizzas ('pizza_mode_half_price' halves the modifier price; "Make Half-and-Half", Left/Right sides). SHORTFALL: three tiers not four ('double' = 0 tokenised hits in 27 files), the tier price is a flat add-on amount not a multiplier, and only Extra is priced; the setting is pizza-mode modifier groups only.

Items route to specific KDS stations by item, category, order type, or revenue center, with routing rules configurable per location without vendor involvement.

kitchen-station-routing

Print Queues documents the whole path in three numbered steps: "1. Creating the print queue 2. Assigning products to the queue 3. Assigning the queue to a device (printer or KDS)". Products are attached by "Click the Choose Products button next to the Print Queue name" then "Select the products assigned to the queue using the toggles" -- item-level routing, which is the granularity the claim asks for. The queue is flagged for a screen rather than a printer via Smart KDS ("Select if the queue will be used with Rezku Smart KDS instead of a printer"), and the Smart KDS article confirms the device side: "Select the queue name to assign this station or set up as Expediter." Per-location/per-station configurability is an explicit toggle: Global means "all tablets obey the same printer rules", and when deselected "queue assignments will be made locally for each POS station" -- all self-serve in Back Office, no vendor involvement. Caveat, not a downgrade: routing conditions are product membership only; nothing in the docs conditions a queue on order type or revenue center, and the KDS article mentions order type only as a label "displayed at the top of the ticket". https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/print-queues · retrieved 2026-08-04

Each delivery zone carries its own independently configurable delivery fee, order minimum, and quoted promise time, applied automatically from the validated customer address.

delivery-zone-pricing

The Fees article documents map-drawn delivery fee zones: "Multiple fee zones can be created with overlapping areas to apply fees based on distance from the restaurant automatically", configured via a "Set Delivery Area" button by adjusting vertex points to draw the area. Shortfall: only the FEE varies by zone. The order minimum is a single system-wide setting -- Online Ordering Settings has "Delivery Minimum Order Total -- Set a minimum order total for online delivery orders" -- and no per-zone quoted promise time is documented anywhere. Delivery Venues are preset addresses for hotels, office complexes and campuses, not zones. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/fees · retrieved 2026-08-03

Digital ordering & guest-facing channels

Partial

Vendor ships a first-party, commission-free web ordering site on the restaurant's own branding/domain that writes orders directly into the POS with no per-order marketplace commission.

digital-first-party-web

First-party OLO is real and writes into the POS, but it is not on the restaurant's own domain: "All Rezku OLO websites are hosted on Rezku servers at the URL 'Order.Rezku.com', followed by a serial number", customisable only to a vanity path (example https://order.rezku.com/BestPizzaEver). The marketing page claims a "fully branded online ordering system" whose "orders go straight to your POS", and the pricing page lists "Branded Online Ordering" inside the $99/mo Basic plan, but no page states a per-order commission rate either way. Shortfall: vendor subdomain rather than customer domain, and commission terms unstated. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/online-site-settings · retrieved 2026-08-08

Yes

The web/app ordering menu is generated from the same POS menu record as in-store — one item edit propagates to all first-party digital channels without a separate digital menu build.

digital-menu-single-source

The online ordering menu is not a separate build -- Online Product Settings' "Choose Products" is a visibility toggle over the existing Back Office menu tree: expand each menu section and "Use the toggle to enable the desired products for online ordering", with a Select All toggle that enables every item from the menu at once; the up-to-three featured products are likewise picked from dropdowns of the same product list, organized by the menu's own categories. The KB describes Back Office as "where your menu and the majority of settings live", and item edits (Product Properties, Variations, modifier matrices) are made once against that record. Nothing in the Online Ordering section (Online Ordering Settings, Online Site Settings, Set Online Hours, Closures, Gift Card Portal Settings, Online Product Settings) describes a second digital menu record or duplicate item entry. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/online-product-settings · retrieved 2026-08-04

digital-account-saved-payment

The online-ordering product page claims "one-click reordering" to "drive repeat orders" plus "Multiple payment methods". Shortfall: that is one leg of a three-part claim and it is marketing-level. Guest account creation, saved delivery addresses and saved/tokenized cards on file appear nowhere in the Back Office KB -- neither Online Site Settings nor Online Ordering Settings mentions accounts, an address book or stored cards, and Checkout and Payment Types enumerates the tender options (credit card, cash, check, gift card, key-in card, CRM charge, house account, external payment, bar tab) with no card-on-file among them. https://rezku.com/restaurant-pos/online-ordering · retrieved 2026-08-03

Reporting, BI & data access

Partial

Provides a live sales dashboard reflecting transactions within minutes of the sale, accessible from both a browser and a mobile app off-premise.

reporting-realtime-dashboard

The Back Office Dashboard "gives you a quick, clear view of restaurant performance in a graphical format" and "By default, when the dashboard loads it shows you stats for the current day". Shortfall: the docs never state data freshness -- no latency, refresh interval or live/real-time wording appears in the Dashboard or Reports articles, and the Reports article says flatly "Reports are viewed in the browser" with no mobile app mentioned. The real-time and off-premise-mobile legs of the claim rest only on marketing (rezku.com/restaurant-pos/advanced-reporting: "access real-time data anytime, anywhere" and "view multiple locations directly from iOS or Android devices with the Manager's App"). https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/dashboard · retrieved 2026-08-03

Provides a product mix (PMIX) report at individual menu item AND modifier level with quantity, gross and net sales, filterable by daypart and revenue center.

reporting-pmix-modifier-level

Both halves exist but as separate reports. Item side: "Top Products" (quantity, sales, profit, percentage contribution), "Sales by Category" (count, gross, comps, discounts, net sales), "Variants" (variation selection count and sales contribution). Modifier side: a distinct "Modifier" report -- "product modifier usage showing default/selected status and upcharges". Shortfall: there is no single PMIX spanning items AND modifiers; the Modifier report is documented as usage-and-upcharge rather than gross and net sales; and while the Reports article supports "Filter by Time" with configured meal periods offered as daypart presets, revenue-center filtering is documented nowhere.

Multi-location, franchise & enterprise governance

Partial

Supports a named organizational hierarchy of at least three levels (e.g. enterprise > region/group > location) as a first-class object that reporting and permissions can be scoped to, not just a flat list of locations.

multi-location-org-hierarchy

Multi-location is real: the Reports article lets you "select the locations to include in the report" and choose whether to merge data across locations or produce separate reports per location, and the Reports List includes "Sales by Restaurant -- multi-location comparison showing orders, sales, labor, food cost, and profit". Shortfall: locations are addressed as a flat selectable list. No region, group or enterprise tier exists as a first-class object anywhere in the Back Office KB -- Restaurant Information configures a single restaurant profile, and neither reporting nor permissions can be scoped to a group. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/reports · retrieved 2026-08-03

NAMED SHORTFALL: nothing states selecting a SUBSET of target locations, and no publish/version history (what, when, by whom) is described anywhere in the 271-URL rezku.com corpus; the prior KB walk (2026-09-01) found menu authoring written in single-restaurant terms.

Supports price tiers/zones so one menu item carries different prices per location group, per order channel, and per daypart without duplicating the item record.

multi-location-price-zones

Channel price tiers exist on the item record without duplication: Menu Design documents an "Online Price" and a "3rd Party Price -- Set the 3rd party app price if different than the online price" alongside the base price. Daypart pricing exists via Happy Hours (Back Office > Promotions) and the POS permission "Apply period pricing outside of period". Shortfall: the location-group leg of the claim is missing -- no price tier, zone or location group is documented that would give one item different prices at different sites, and Menu Design exposes no per-location price field. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/menu-design · retrieved 2026-08-03

Terminals continue to take orders, print to kitchen, and record cash sales with the internet down, and the vendor documents explicitly which functions degrade (card auth, loyalty lookup, refunds).

hardware-offline-mode

Offline Mode "allows you to store credit card transaction data if the internet is down and process the transactions when internet access is restored", and non-credit tenders -- "cash, gift card, external payment" -- plus refunds still process while offline, so orders can be rung and cash sales recorded with the WAN down and synced to Rezku servers afterwards. Named shortfalls: kitchen printing offline is documented nowhere (the published offline scope is payments only, and the Smart KDS article's "Both the POS and the KDS must be open and on the same network" is a LAN requirement, never stated as an offline guarantee); the claim's second leg fails outright because the vendor publishes no enumeration of which functions degrade -- loyalty lookup and online-order intake are unaddressed; and the mode is a manager-activated toggle (PIN, chosen duration, signed disclaimer) with the vendor's own cap "Offline Mode is designed for short term disruptions in the internet.

Shortfall: the metadata advertises no scopes_supported and does include the resource-owner "password" grant, which is credential sharing; and developer.rezku.com is login-gated (302 to auth.rezku.com/login), so there is no public evidence that an operator can grant and individually revoke a third-party app's access. https://auth.rezku.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server · retrieved 2026-08-03 · not refetchable · site policy · graded A when read

Reliability, offline & operations

Partial

Order entry, ticket routing, and check printing continue on-terminal when the internet connection is lost.

reliability-offline-order-entry

Of the claim's three legs only order entry is supported by the docs: with Offline Mode active, orders can be created and tendered on-terminal -- credit card data is stored and forwarded ("store credit card transaction data if the internet is down and process the transactions when internet access is restored") and non-credit transactions ("cash, gift card, external payment") plus refunds process offline, with an Offline History screen tracking Queued vs Sent. Named shortfall: ticket routing and check printing while offline are documented nowhere -- the Offline Mode and Rezku POS App Settings articles are payments-scoped and silent on kitchen and receipt printing, and the Back Office Settings index (20 articles) contains no connectivity or offline-behaviour article that covers it. Offline Mode is also a manual manager toggle (PIN, chosen duration, signed disclaimer) capped by "Do not exceed 48 hours in Offline Mode", not automatic on-terminal continuation. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/offline-mode · retrieved 2026-08-04

The system automatically fails over to a backup printer or KDS station when a configured kitchen printer is unreachable, and alerts staff.

Shortfall: recovery is manual and the automatic-failover half of the claim is absent -- Print Queues describes "Assigning the queue to a device (printer or KDS)", singular, with no backup-device field, and no rerouting to a secondary printer or KDS on failure is documented in either the printer or print-queue articles. https://support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb/articles/configuring-pos-printers · retrieved 2026-08-03

CLAIM: auto-renewal term and cancellation notice window stated in public contract terms. VERDICT: yes, grade B (vendor's own legal terms, anonymous, HTTP 200). EVIDENCE: Rezku POS Terms of Use ("Last modified January 15, 2026"), https://rezku.com/pos/terms-of-use , section 13 "Term of Agreement.": "Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form or other writing signed by us, the initial term ("Initial Term") of this Agreement is 3 years (36 months). Following the end of the Initial Term and any renewal term, the Agreement automatically renews for periods of 12 months (each a "Renewal Term"), unless either party gives written notice of its intent to terminate or not renew the Agreement at least 90 days before the then-current term expires." Cancellation mechanics: "you may terminate all or a portion of your Services subscription and/or Agreement at any time at the end of the Term by completing and e[mailing the] Cancellation Form by email to support@rezku.com"; early termination fee "$149 plus your monthly fees multiplied by the number of months remaining until the end of the current term"; $299 reinstatement fee. The same text is repeated in the combined https://rezku.com/privacy-policies-and-terms-of-use page. POISON: that combined page also carries an older Restaurant Management / Waitku app terms block ("Last modified December 14, 2020") saying "There are no set up or cancellation fees" with month-to-month card charging -- a superseded app-subscription clause, not the current POS agreement; the dedicated /pos/terms-of-use page does not contain it (0 hits).

order-capture-scheduled-ordersunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThe 2026-08-01 pass recorded no docs because it looked at rezku.com/pos/*, which 302s to a dead Freshdesk portal. The live knowledge base is at support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb (Zoho Desk). Online Ordering Settings there documents "Open for Pre-Orders" with a "Preorders Days In Advance" setting and the POS permission list has "Open orders for future dates", so future-dating is real. Held at partial because Order Settings documents kitchen release only at Checkout or Payment, with no per-channel lead time and no computed fire time. source
menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-sizeunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-yesThe Variations article states the mechanism outright: "The modifier matrix allows you to change the price of modifiers based on product variants. This is ideal for something like Pizza, where the cost of toppings modifiers can change based on the size of the product." It is configured per product under Product Properties > Modifier Matrix, one price per variation. Corroborated independently by the Modifiers and Submodifiers article, which lists "Product / Modifier price matrices (Edit Modifier Matrix)" among the things NOT cloned when a modifier group is duplicated. Grade B product documentation, matrix rather than duplication — exactly what the claim asks for. source
payments-refund-void-controlsunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-yesBoth legs are documented. Authorization: Employee Permissions carries discrete toggles "Void a transaction", "Adjust a transaction", "Refund cash", "Refund credit cards", "Apply custom discounts to orders and products", "Manage the cash drawer" and "Cash drawer pay-in/pay-out", assignable by role and overridable per user. Audit: the Reports List documents Product Voids "showing user and manager override if applicable", Transaction Voids, Refunds (with reason), Comped and Discounted Orders (with reason), Cash Drawer Activity including no-sale, and Sales Exception by User. Immutability is not asserted by the vendor and is noted as such rather than assumed. source
kitchen-expo-consolidationunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialRezku Smart KDS does have an Expo mode — "Expo can mark items done and bump tickets in this view and it will ALSO perform the operation on the selected station KDS" — so the capability is not absent. But the documented model is switching to a selected station and acting on it, and neither the KDS article nor the kitchen-management page states that an order stays open until every contributing station has bumped. That completion-gating is the substance of the claim, so partial with the shortfall named. source
kitchen-bump-bar-hardwareunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-noPositive absence, not silence. Rezku's hardware KB is an exhaustive supported-model catalogue split into four categories, and I read all four: Printers (Star TSP-100, SP-700, mC-Print3, SII RP F-10, Epson TM-u220, TM-m30, sticky-label), Stands and Cases, Card Readers (MagTek), Accessories (Ubiquiti router, Ubiquiti gateway/AP, automatic cash drawer, Viewsonic touchscreen for KDS, Socket Mobile barcode scanner). The KDS input device Rezku documents and sells is a touchscreen; no bump bar or programmable keypad appears in any category, and the Smart KDS article describes only touch. The claim's own bar is "documented supported models", and in a catalogue that names a model for every other peripheral there is none. source
delivery-zone-pricingunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThe Fees article documents map-drawn zones — "Multiple fee zones can be created with overlapping areas to apply fees based on distance from the restaurant automatically", drawn by adjusting vertex points under "Set Delivery Area". Only the fee is per-zone: the order minimum is a single global "Delivery Minimum Order Total" in Online Ordering Settings, and no per-zone promise time exists in Delivery Settings, Delivery Management or Delivery Venues (which are preset hotel/campus addresses, not zones). Two of the claim's three per-zone attributes are missing. source
digital-account-saved-paymentunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialOnly "one-click reordering" is claimed, and only on the marketing page — grade D. I checked the documentation for the other two legs: Online Site Settings covers design, logos, notifications and SEO with no account management; Online Ordering Settings covers order types and timing with no address book or stored cards; Checkout and Payment Types enumerates every tender (credit, cash, check, gift card, key-in, CRM charge, house account, external, bar tab) and card-on-file is not among them. Partial with the missing legs named. source
guest-loyalty-unified-profileunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialOne CRM database is fed by both channels — "Typically, new customers will be added when they place an order online or on the POS and their information is entered for the first time" — with a rich profile (contact, birthday, anniversary, order count, average/high/total sales, top-3 favourites) and system-tracked fields the operator cannot edit. What the claim additionally requires and the article does not supply is documented dedup/merge behaviour on phone or email match; kiosk is not mentioned anywhere in the CRM article either. source
guest-loyalty-lifecycle-automationunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialRezku's marketing does claim automation — "automate messages for birthdays, special promotions, loyalty milestones, and more" (email-marketing page) and "Automated texts" plus "Personalized birthday and follow-up messages" (text-marketing page). That is grade D and covers one of the three named triggers. The documentation contradicts nothing but supports nothing: the Back Office KB has no campaign or automation article, Loyalty Points documents a manual four-step points-and-discount-preset flow, and the CRM article's marketing path is CSV export as "a mailing list" plus a Mailchimp integration. Lapsed win-back appears nowhere. source
labor-granular-rbacunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThe granularity leg is emphatically satisfied — roughly 55 named per-action toggles (Void a transaction, Refund cash, Refund credit cards, Apply custom discounts, Manage the cash drawer, Manually set a price for a product, Access settings, Enable offline mode, View performance data, and so on), with four role defaults plus "Make individual permissions exceptions on a per-user basis without changing their role". Held at partial only because the claim also requires grants scoped per location and the article is silent on it; Rezku does sell multi-location, so this is a real gap rather than an inapplicable one. source
labor-manager-override-auditunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThere is an audit trail and it is queryable — Event Logs capture Back Office setting changes, filterable by date range and by user ("You can filter the event log by user and only view Back Office activity performed by the selected user"), with expandable per-event detail. But its scope is Back Office configuration, not POS manager approvals; the only approver attribution I found for an override is inside the Product Voids report ("showing user and manager override if applicable"). No general override trail and no immutability or retention statement. source
inventory-unit-conversion-yieldsunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThe ingredient record does carry a purchase-to-tracking conversion — "My cost is" / "For every" / "Tracking unit", an Ingredient Unit Type of Count, Solid or Liquid, a Tracking Unit and Custom Units, converting automatically between like unit types. Two of the claim's requirements are missing: no third recipe unit distinct from the tracking unit (Components says only "Enter the amount of each component that is used"), and no yield or waste percentage applying a raw-to-usable factor. Waste is an observed quantity in the Ingredient Use reports, not a conversion. source
inventory-count-modesunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialCounting exists but in one mode. The Inventory Take Report "helps you when re-ordering or performing a physical count/audit for ingredients" and its Amount column is "a placeholder for you to enter a value" used either for planned order amounts or for writing physical counts on a printed sheet; a POS permission "Change inventory counts on the iPad" also exists. No scheduled recurring cycle count, no subset spot-count mode, and no statement that each count is retained as dated variance history rather than overwriting the prior on-hand figure. I also read Inventory Countdown and Low Ingredient Emails, which do not address counting workflow. source
reporting-realtime-dashboardunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialA dashboard exists and defaults to the current day — "The dashboard gives you a quick, clear view of restaurant performance in a graphical format", "By default, when the dashboard loads it shows you stats for the current day". Neither the Dashboard nor the Reports article states any refresh latency or uses live/real-time wording, and the Reports article says "Reports are viewed in the browser" without mentioning a mobile app. The real-time and off-premise-mobile legs of the claim are asserted only on the advanced-reporting and Manager's App marketing pages, which is grade D and cannot carry them. source
reporting-eod-closeoutunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-yesRezku ships exactly the single-document EOD packet the claim describes. The Exports List documents it: "The Daily Report is a 'paper dashboard' that contains multiple reports. It is divided into 2 sections, Sales and Transactions with multiple tables in each", downloadable as PDF. Its tables reconcile gross sales, comps, discounts, net sales, gift-card loads, taxes, fees, gratuity, prepaid orders, tips and refunds (Sales Overview); tender types via an embedded copy of the Transactions report, which the Reports List defines as "total transactions by payment type"; and cash position via Cash In/Out including bank drops, pay-ins/outs and tip payouts. Every element named in the claim is present in one artifact. source
reporting-pmix-modifier-levelunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialItem-level product mix exists (Top Products with quantity, sales, profit and share; Sales by Category with gross, comps, discounts and net; Variants with selection counts) and modifier-level exists as a separate "Modifier" report — "product modifier usage showing default/selected status and upcharges". The claim wants one report at item AND modifier level with quantity, gross and net sales: they are split, the Modifier report is documented as usage-and-upcharge rather than gross/net, and no revenue-center filter is documented (daypart is available via "Filter by Time" and configured meal periods). The Exports list has no product-mix export covering modifiers. source
multi-location-org-hierarchyunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialMulti-location reporting is genuine — the Reports article lets you "select the locations to include in the report" and merge or split them, and the Reports List documents "Sales by Restaurant" comparing orders, sales, labor, food cost and profit across sites. But that is a flat set of restaurants. I read the whole Back Office KB tree and no region, group or enterprise object exists as a first-class entity; Restaurant Information configures one restaurant profile, and nothing scopes reporting or permissions to a group. Three named levels is the bar and only two are evidenced. source
multi-location-price-zonesunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialTwo of the three axes are documented on the item record without duplication: channel, via Menu Design's "Online Price" and "3rd Party Price -- Set the 3rd party app price if different than the online price"; and daypart, via Happy Hours under Promotions plus the POS permission "Apply period pricing outside of period". The location-group axis is absent — no price tier, zone or location group appears in Menu Design or anywhere else in the Back Office KB, and there is no per-location price field. source
extensibility-oauth-partner-appsunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialFound primary evidence the 2026-08-01 pass missed: auth.rezku.com serves an RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata document (HTTP 200) declaring authorization_endpoint /oauth/authorize, token_endpoint /oauth/token, a jwks_uri, response_types_supported ["code"], PKCE via code_challenge_methods_supported ["plain", "S256"], and grant_types_supported ["client_credentials", "authorization_code", "password", "refresh_token"]. developer.rezku.com is itself an OAuth client of it and issues a scoped request (scope=https://rezku.com/profile#read). So this is OAuth 2.0, not static shared keys. Not a yes: no scopes_supported is published, the resource-owner "password" grant is enabled, and the developer portal is login-gated (302 to auth.rezku.com/login) so operator-granted, individually revocable third-party access cannot be verified. source
reliability-printer-fallbackunknown / grade F — placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialHalf the claim is documented: Configuring POS Printers shows a per-printer status indicator with "Disconnected (Red) -- The configured printer did not respond when Rezku tried to print", which is the staff alert, and the permission list carries "Reprint items in the print queue" and "Resend items to the kitchen printer" as manual recovery. The automatic-failover half is absent — Print Queues documents "Assigning the queue to a device (printer or KDS)", singular, with no backup-device field, and no article describes rerouting to a secondary printer or KDS on failure. source
order-capture-offline-order-entryunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThe live KB (support.rezku.com/portal/en/kb, Zoho Desk) has a dedicated Offline Mode article the 2026-08-01 pass never reached. It establishes that cash, gift card and external-payment transactions plus refunds process while offline and that card transactions are stored and forwarded, so on-terminal order entry and cash tender are real. Held at partial rather than yes because the published offline scope stops at payments: neither Offline Mode nor Rezku POS App Settings addresses modifiers, kitchen printing or KDS send during an outage, and the claim explicitly requires the vendor to publish what does and does not work offline. Vendor also warns "Do not exceed 48 hours in Offline Mode." The rezku.com/pos/offline-mode marketing URL now 302s to /restaurant-pos/features, whose only offline sentence is "Your restaurant does not go down if internet fails" -- grade D and too vague to lift the cell. source
menu-pricing-nested-modifiersunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialModifiers and Submodifiers documents per-group Minimum and Maximum selection counts and requiredness driven off Minimum, but states a hard depth cap in the vendor's own words: "Submodifiers can only nest one level deep. If a modifier in a group has any submodifiers already applied, that group can not be used as a submodifier in another group." Two levels available against the three the claim requires, with the workaround of chaining groups explicitly blocked. That is positive documented evidence of a limitation, so partial with a named shortfall rather than unknown -- and not no, since the selection-count and forced-selection halves of the claim are fully met. source
kitchen-station-routingunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-yesPrint Queues gives the configuration path end to end -- create queue, Choose Products and toggle the products into it, assign the queue to a printer or (via the Smart KDS flag) a KDS -- and the Smart KDS article confirms the device end with "Select the queue name to assign this station or set up as Expediter." Item-level routing satisfies the claim's granularity, and per-location control is an explicit Global toggle: on, "all tablets obey the same printer rules"; off, "queue assignments will be made locally for each POS station." All configured in Back Office by the operator. Grade B product documentation, which is what a yes on this claim needs. Noted but not penalised: queue membership is by product only, with no documented order-type or revenue-center routing condition. source
order-capture-split-mergeunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialSplitting Orders and Payments documents four modes -- Split Order, Itemized Split (by item; auto-per-seat when seats are used), Split By Seat, and Easy Split (even by default, arbitrary dollar amounts by tapping a split and entering a new amount with the rest auto-adjusting) -- and The More Button documents Merge: "Merge another ticket into the active order. The merged ticket will close with the status 'merged'." Held at partial because two elements the claim names are undocumented: a percentage-based split appears in no mode, and merging after a partial payment is stated nowhere in the live KB (the legacy merging-tickets article that covered merge restrictions 302s to a dead Freshdesk portal). source
digital-menu-single-sourceunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-yesOnline Product Settings shows the online menu is a visibility toggle over the Back Office menu record, not a second build: "Choose Products" expands the menu's own sections and "Use the toggle to enable the desired products for online ordering", with Select All enabling every item at once, and featured products picked from dropdowns of the same product list. The KB's own framing is that Back Office "is where your menu and the majority of settings live", and no article in the Online Ordering section describes maintaining a separate digital menu. Grade B product documentation on a table-stakes claim. source
hardware-offline-modeunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialThe Offline Mode article documents order-taking and cash recording with the WAN down -- credit data is stored and forwarded, and non-credit tenders ("cash, gift card, external payment") plus refunds process offline, syncing to Rezku servers afterwards. Held at partial on three named grounds: kitchen printing offline is documented nowhere (the published offline scope is payments only); the claim's requirement that the vendor documents explicitly which functions degrade is unmet -- no such enumeration exists; and the mode is a manager-activated toggle with a signed disclaimer and the vendor's cap "Do not exceed 48 hours in Offline Mode", not automatic continuation. source
reliability-offline-order-entryunknown / grade F -- placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", i.e. the cell was never examined.resolve-to-partialOne of the claim's three legs is documented: with Offline Mode active, orders can be created and tendered on-terminal, since credit transactions store-and-forward and non-credit transactions plus refunds process offline with a Queued/Sent Offline History. The other two legs -- ticket routing and check printing while offline -- appear nowhere: the Offline Mode and Rezku POS App Settings articles are payments-scoped and silent on kitchen and receipt printing, and the Back Office Settings index has no connectivity article covering it. Scored consistently with the record's order-capture-offline-order-entry cell, which reached the same payments-only reading of the same article on 2026-08-04. source
commercial-pricing-publishedyes, grade B - Specific figures published: $99/mo up to 3 stations, $19/mo upheldGrade only, value untouched. Corpus-wide mechanical pass (workflows/regrade-marketing-pages.mjs): the cited page is a first-party pricing/feature/product page, which atlas-evidence-rules grades C ("vendor pricing page or feature page - first-party, but written to sell"), not B ("vendor product documentation - the manual, the help centre, the admin guide"). No claim was re-researched in this pass and no evidence was re-read; only the grade was brought into line with the source type. source

payments-gift-cardspartial / D - "Loyalty Program & Gift Cards" marketed as first-party; real-time balances and croupheldThe cited https://www.rezku.com/pos/ now 301s to https://rezku.com/restaurant-pos/, which does still carry the phrase "Loyalty Program & Gift Cards" - but that is a feature-list bullet and cannot establish a balance ledger. I re-retrieved the real evidence in the support KB instead. The Gift Cards article gives the ledger (Current Balance, Add/Deduct Funds, dashboard of loads/spends/redeems/manual adjustments) and Gift Card Portal Settings gives guest balance lookup and the sentence "eGift cards work in-store and online", which closes the online-redemption half the old note wrongly called undocumented. I looked for a shared cross-location balance and found none; the Promotions section contains only CRM, Gift Cards, Loyalty Points, Coupons, Discount Presets and Happy Hours, and the sole multi-location mention is tag propagation. Value unchanged, evidence moved D -> B, note corrected. source
digital-first-party-webpartial / D - First-party online ordering plus QR, kiosk and tableside channels marketed; commiupheldThe cited https://www.rezku.com/pos/ 301s to https://rezku.com/restaurant-pos/, a feature index that is not evidence of anything, so I re-retrieved. Online Site Settings in the support KB answers the branded-domain question the old note called unstated, and answers it negatively: "All Rezku OLO websites are hosted on Rezku servers at the URL 'Order.Rezku.com', followed by a serial number", with only a vanity keyword replacing the serial. The marketing page rezku.com/restaurant-pos/online-ordering supports the first-party/direct-to-POS half - "Your brand, your profits", "stop losing revenue to marketplace fees", "orders go straight to your POS" - and rezku.com/pos/pricing includes "Branded Online Ordering" in the $99/mo Basic plan. I found no statement of a per-order commission in either direction, so the second shortfall survives. Value unchanged; evidence D -> B and the note corrected from "not stated" to what the docs actually state. source
