Vendors / Mainstream commercial restaurant POS
SumUp
SumUp (POS / Point of Sale Lite)
A payments company that sells a POS as an attachment to its own acquiring: excellent public developer docs and honest published pricing, but the restaurant-operations depth (KDS routing, delivery dispatch, recipe costing, franchise hierarchy) is either absent or entirely undocumented in the US catalog.

order-capture-split-merge
Splitting exists in three documented forms: the Split Bills article offers "You can either split by people or by item" from the '…' menu on a table's order form; the PAY article adds an amount route — "you can change the amount tendered to split the bill, or if the sale has been assigned to a table, choose the three little dots at the top of the order basket before paying, and select 'split bill'"; and Table Management states "The system also gives you the option to transfer the order to another table if you require it." Shortfall: no seat-based split exists anywhere in the front-end documentation, no percentage split is documented, merging is absent — the only documented cross-table operation is transferring one order to another table, not combining two open checks — and nothing addresses splitting or merging after partial payment, which the claim explicitly requires. https://support.thegoodtill.com/support/split-bills · retrieved 2026-08-04

Online/click-and-collect orders carry a pick-up time shown in the order list, order title, kitchen tickets and provisional/final tickets: "If the information is not filled in, by default, it is the creation time of the order + 20m." Shortfall: the order lands on the iPad on receipt and the pick-up time is only displayed on it — no documented hold-and-fire into the make queue at a computed time, and the only documented lead time is that single fixed 20-minute default, not a per-channel configurable one. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000057453-how-to-identify-the-pick-up-time-of-an-online-order- · retrieved 2026-08-03

Menu, modifiers & pricing engine
menu-pricing-nested-modifiers
The Back Office modifier-set form carries the two halves the claim asks for at set level: "Set minimum and maximum number of modifiers allowed. Setting a minimum of 1 or more will make the modifier required", with "Optional in Order Type can make 'required' modifiers optional for specific Order Types (Dine-in, Take-Out, Delivery, etc)". Nesting exists on the option: "Use Modifier options to add a modifier to this modifier option. See Add a new Modifier Set." Shortfall: the documented depth is one nested level — a modifier set hung off a modifier option — and neither the modifier article nor the modifier-set article states that a set attached to an option can itself carry further sets, gives a maximum depth, or shows a three-level example, so the claim's "at least three levels deep" is documented only to two. https://help.sumup.com/en-US/articles/30Ejj6zz9J3a2zVnxr2Cay-how-to-add-a-new-modifier · retrieved 2026-08-04
menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size
Modifier sets carry a Modifier type of Global (all items), Category based or Product based, plus an "Amount and Default price if all the Modifier options will have the same price"; each modifier option then has its own "Price type and Price". Shortfall: varying one modifier's price by parent item is achieved by creating a second Category- or Product-scoped modifier set — i.e. duplicating the modifier — and the enumerated fields contain no parent x size price matrix and no size dimension at all. https://help.sumup.com/en-US/articles/30Ejj6zz9J3a2zVnxr2Cay-how-to-add-a-new-modifier · retrieved 2026-08-03

menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiers
The modifier-option form includes "Enable quantity selection to specify quantity of Modifier option", so a topping can be taken more than once. Shortfall: quantity is a plain multiplier on the option's single Price field — the enumerated option fields (name, kitchen name, price type/price, button colour, default-selected, dates, nested modifier options) contain no named light/regular/extra/double tiers and no per-tier price multiplier, so this is exactly the "adding the modifier twice" behaviour the claim distinguishes from. The EU POS Pro option form is thinner still: "the option name, you can add a price if the option is paying, his VAT". https://help.sumup.com/en-US/articles/30Ejj6zz9J3a2zVnxr2Cay-how-to-add-a-new-modifier · retrieved 2026-08-03

Kitchen & production
kitchen-station-routing
Routing is a per-product flag into three fixed destination classes, not a rule engine: product printing properties are "Send to kitchen" and "Send to drinks" (plus "other"), and "You can select multiple options for a product (i.e if you want a product to print out on the kitchen ticket and drinks ticket)". The KDS then filters on those same classes at the device: the KDS app guide says "This will control what orders will show on your KDS. So you may want everything to show, but you can alter this to only show drinks products, kitchen products etc", and the current SumUp KDS settings expose exactly four sections (Device, Fulfilment, Orders view, Logout) of which only Fulfilment routes anything — auto-accept plus "select which order categories appear on the KDS (e.g., show only food or drinks if they are separate)". Shortfall: destinations are the fixed kitchen/drinks/other triple rather than named stations, the routing key is the product flag alone — no order-type or revenue-centre dimension appears among the enumerated product printing properties — and the include/exclude choice is made on each KDS tablet rather than as per-location routing rules in Back Office. https://support.thegoodtill.com/support/printing · retrieved 2026-08-04
kitchen-expo-consolidation
Positive absence: the KDS article enumerates the complete interface as four screens — To Do, In Progress, Ready, Rejected — and the complete settings set as four sections (Device, Fulfilment, Orders view, Logout). Fulfilment offers only auto-accept and "select which order categories appear on the KDS (e.g., show only food or drinks if they are separate)". An order moves to Ready when one operator taps "Complete Order" on that device; there is no expo role, no consolidated multi-station order view, and no all-stations-bumped completion gate anywhere in the KDS documentation set (what-is / set-up / exploring / troubleshoot). https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/5tmYbBkiipnwwMVNi2JT5s-article-exploring-my-sumup-kds-screen-and-settings · retrieved 2026-08-03

Shortfalls: this lives in the SumUp Online Store rather than the restaurant POS ordering flow, zones are postcode lists rather than validated geographies, and the time element is a delivery schedule with earliest/latest dates — there is no per-zone quoted promise time. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/1fQiqsEjvss5lO65gFgx3H-online-store-shipping · retrieved 2026-08-03

Digital ordering & guest-facing channels
digital-first-party-web
Hosted checkout, payment widget and e-commerce plugins are first-party and commission-free, but this is a payments checkout rather than a restaurant ordering site tied to the POS menu. https://developer.sumup.com/ · retrieved 2026-08-01
digital-menu-single-source
The first-party digital channel (QR Order and Pay) draws on the POS catalogue but through its own menu builder: you create a "Menu name", add sections ("e.g. starters, main dish, side dish, drinks"), then "Click 'Add item', choose the desired items" — items are picked from the existing catalogue rather than re-keyed — with menus schedulable by time period and day. The what-is article documents live linkage for exactly two attributes: "Modifier support: integrates with modifiers from all supported POS systems" and "Out-of-stock management: syncs inventory from POS and checks stock in real-time." Shortfall: this is precisely a separate digital menu build — sections and item assignment are maintained per QR store — and no article states that a POS item edit (name or price) propagates automatically to the published QR menu; only stock state and modifiers are documented as synced. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/5DMyYhDtk3r23QizapYDHi-article-configure-the-menu-for-my-qr-order-and-pay · retrieved 2026-08-04

guest-loyalty-unified-profile
SumUp Connect keeps a member profile keyed on phone number, reachable either from the Connect tablet or from "your Fivestars software on your Point-of-Sale" via a Check-In / Sign-Up button. Shortfalls: attribution is a manual check-in keyed on a phone number entered at the point of service, not automatic merge; SumUp documents no dedup/merge behaviour (a separate self-serve "Update My Number" tool exists for correcting a number); and no article documents first-party web-ordering or kiosk transactions landing on the same profile. https://help.sumup.com/en-US/articles/2TFVQRMABx0admuHSyNRzH-how-to-add-points-and-redeem-rewards-or-offers-on · retrieved 2026-08-03

Shortfalls: rights are toggled on each individual user rather than on reusable roles ("click on the user in question and manage the different accesses"), there is no location dimension in this screen, and there is no discrete price-change, refund or report-access right. The separate SumUp-profile role model does support custom roles with "Permissions toggles and... sub-permissions", but its enumerated permission groups are coarser — Checkout and Discounts (auto-paired), Sales reports, Items and inventory, Manage taxes, Bookings, Payment Links, Developer settings. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000023512-users-how-to-manage-user-rights- · retrieved 2026-08-03

Inventory, purchasing & cost control
inventory-recipe-bom-costing
Sub-recipes exist as a first-class object: "Production events are used when you want to create an ingredient from other ingredients and track stock levels that are used for it"; when creating the ingredient you "select the option that says 'This is a preparation/recipe item'", enter the component ingredients and amounts, "the back-office system will work out your cost price for creating this", and "It can now be added to any product it applies to (just like a normal ingredient)". On the US Back Office side the item form offers "Use Ingredient Cost - when enabled the cost of item will be calculated as the sum of the cost of ingredients". Shortfall: the documented depth is one prep level — a preparation item built from raw ingredients and then consumed by a product — with no statement that a preparation item may contain another preparation item; and no page says plate cost re-derives when a component ingredient's cost later changes. The production-event cost is described as worked out at definition/production time, and the ingredient setup page covers only quantity ratios ("If there's 750ml in the bottle, and only 10ml in the cocktail, then 10/750 = 0.013"), not cost propagation. https://support.thegoodtill.com/support/production-events · retrieved 2026-08-04
inventory-unit-conversion-yields
Read the complete POS Pro stock article (help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000113849), which states "Two stock management methods are available on Point of Sale Pro: Standard stock, One-day tracking" and describes tracking as a single per-item quantity plus a low-stock warning threshold — no purchase, recipe or count unit and no yield or waste percentage. Also read the US Receive/Reconcile articles, which capture only Receiving Qty and Receiving cost. Left unresolved rather than scored `no` because the US item form does expose "Use Ingredient Cost - when enabled the cost of item will be calculated as the sum of the cost of ingredients" and a material-cost toggle on products, and SumUp publishes no article describing how those ingredients and their units are defined.

Shortfall: the EU article states "Two stock management methods are available" and both are tracking modes (Standard stock, One-day tracking), not count modes — there is no distinct full physical inventory session, no scheduled recurring cycle count, and no per-count variance history object; editing the quantity overwrites the prior figure rather than recording a dated count with variance. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000113849-stock-how-do-i-use-stock- · retrieved 2026-08-03

Shortfalls: it is a browser back office (app.tillersystems.com / my.franpos.com) and the documented mobile route is a Safari home-screen shortcut to that same web page — "you have successfully added your back office web page to your iPhones home screen" — not a native mobile dashboard app; and the report "will not be available" at all if no till is open. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000057524-current-till-report-how-to-monitor-the-activity-of-the-open-till-of-your-stores-using-the-current-till-report- · retrieved 2026-08-03

Shortfall: there is no revenue-centre dimension — the only location cut is Stores, and neither help set documents a revenue-centre or sales-area object to filter on. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000060900-product-sales-report-how-to-analyse-the-sales-of-your-products-using-the-product-sales-report- · retrieved 2026-08-03

Multi-location, franchise & enterprise governance
multi-location-org-hierarchy
Positive absence: multi-site scoping is documented as a flat store list. "If you have several stores linked to your back office user, you can select the data of the store/s you wish to display on your dashboard using the store picker. By default, all stores are selected... If you want to select/deselect all stores you just need to click on 'all stores'." The Product Sales Report offers the same flat "Stores" multi-select, the US Sales by location report "shows performance across all locations", and catalogue management is per store. No region, group or brand tier exists as an object in either help set — the structure is two levels, account and store. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000023529-dashboard-how-to-view-your-data-if-you-have-several-establishments- · retrieved 2026-08-03
multi-location-central-menu-publish
Positive absence: SumUp's own documented method for pushing catalogue changes across stores is a manual CSV round-trip — export CSV from the source store, "Open the CSV on Excel, Delete the ProductId column", delete unwanted rows, then "For each target store... click Import CSV" — with the warning "If the SKU is not available on all stores for similar product, this process will result with duplicates." Sibling articles cover duplicating products to a new store and bulk SKU updates by the same route. There is no corporate menu object, no publish-to-selected-locations action, and no publish/version history. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000031284-multi-store-how-to-replicate-updates-on-products-and-options-from-a-store-to-the-other-stores · retrieved 2026-08-03
multi-location-price-zones
Positive absence: the item form enumerates a single "Item Price and Cost" alongside "Select/deselect locations where this Item will be added" — the location control governs availability, not price — and the only other pricing controls are eCommerce/third-party display names and date-based availability. On the EU side each store holds its own duplicated product records with their own prices, replicated by CSV import keyed on SKU. There is no price tier, price zone or channel-price object, so one item record cannot carry different prices per location group, per channel or per daypart. https://help.sumup.com/en-US/articles/JZkmuuFPBy4CzPm5i3SNb-how-to-add-a-new-item · retrieved 2026-08-03

hardware-offline-mode
Offline operation is documented but thin: "Yes, it does. You can use your till without internet", conditioned on "You must use only one IPad", a 15-20 minute wifi sync at opening, and an instruction that "you must not close the till without internet." Goodtill's API documentation corroborates continued selling: "most of the POS functionality is available offline, so you may receive a batch of webhook messages when the POS regains an internet connection after being offline for some time" (support.thegoodtill.com/support/webhook). Shortfall on both legs the claim adds beyond bare operation: printing to kitchen with the internet down is nowhere documented — the printer articles never address WAN loss — and the required explicit enumeration of which functions degrade does not exist; the offline article names no degradation at all, and the only documented degradations are scattered elsewhere (third-party loyalty customer lookup "will no longer be possible... if the POS does not have an internet connection"). Documented offline operation is also restricted to a single iPad. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000023400-connection-does-the-till-work-without-an-internet-connection- · retrieved 2026-08-04
hardware-kds
A first-party KDS is sold outright — "10-inch Lenovo tablet: £100, 15-inch SumUp tablet: £249" plus £15/mo software — and "works natively and seamlessly with the SumUp app, POS Lite, POS Pro, SumUp Kiosk, SumUp Terminal, SumUp Register, and QR Order and Pay", with touch input (staff tap "Start Order" and "Complete Order") and "smart waiting time estimates". Shortfall on the claim's other two legs: no bump-bar exists (the supported-hardware lists are touch tablets only), station routing is only a per-device order-category filter — "select which order categories appear on the KDS (e.g., show only food or drinks if they are separate)" — rather than named stations, and the fully enumerated interface (To Do / In Progress / Ready / Rejected) and settings (Device, Fulfilment, Orders view, Logout) contain no course or fire-timing control of any kind. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/articles/4KAuRrwoNJM5ID0L74fW4R-article-what-is-the-sumup-kitchen-display-system-kds · retrieved 2026-08-04

Reliability, offline & operations
reliability-offline-order-entry
Order entry continues with the internet down: "Yes, it does. You can use your till without internet" — but "You must use only one IPad", with a 15-20 minute wifi sync required at opening and again before the till may be closed. Goodtill's API documentation adds "most of the POS functionality is available offline, so you may receive a batch of webhook messages when the POS regains an internet connection after being offline for some time." Shortfall: of the claim's three legs only order entry is documented — neither help set states that kitchen ticket routing or check printing continues during a WAN outage (the printer and KDS articles never address connection loss) — and the documented offline mode is limited to a single iPad, so multi-terminal service does not continue. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000023400-connection-does-the-till-work-without-an-internet-connection- · retrieved 2026-08-04

reliability-offline-kds-printing
Read the POS Pro offline article (help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000023400), which confirms the till itself works offline but conditions it on "You must use only one iPad", a 15-20 minute sync at open and a further sync before close — it says nothing about whether kitchen printing or the KDS keeps running. Also read the four KDS articles (what-is, set-up, exploring screen and settings, troubleshoot): the KDS is a separate tablet logged into a SumUp profile that receives orders from a selected source and the troubleshooting list covers only category-sync and integration problems, with no offline or connection-loss entry. The printer articles (US Connect a printer; EU printer role and double printing) cover Bluetooth/USB/ethernet pairing but never state whether ticket routing survives a WAN outage. Genuinely unresolved rather than absent.
reliability-printer-fallback
Redundancy exists but is static, not failover: enabling Configuration > Your Modules > Order Sending Settings > double printing means "you will be able to select two printers for the same product", and each printer carries a role of Till, Kitchen or Bar. Shortfall: both printers are targeted on every ticket by configuration — nothing in the printer articles documents detection of an unreachable printer, automatic re-routing to a backup printer or to the KDS, or any alert to staff when a kitchen printer fails. https://help.sumup.com/en-GB/pos/articles/75000046279-sendings-how-to-set-the-double-printing- · retrieved 2026-08-03

An independent pass was instructed to refute this record, defaulting to downgrade when uncertain. It challenged 26 values — 0 upheld, 0 downgraded, 0 upgraded. This is published in full because a reader who can see which values were contested, on what evidence, and which way they moved has something no affiliate-funded comparison offers.
Capability claims
| Claim | As first scored | Verdict | What the verifier found |
|---|---|---|---|
| order-capture-scheduled-orders | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. EU POS Pro online/click-and-collect orders carry a pick-up time surfaced on the order list, order title and kitchen/provisional/final tickets, defaulting to creation time + 20m. Held to partial because the order appears on the iPad on receipt with the time merely displayed, not injected into the make queue at a computed fire time, and the single 20-minute default is the only documented lead time. source |
| menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | US POS Pro modifier documentation enumerates the whole configuration: modifier type Global/Category based/Product based, a set-level default price, and per-option 'Price type and Price'. Per-parent price variation is reachable only by creating a second Category- or Product-scoped modifier set — duplication, which the claim explicitly excludes — and no size dimension exists. source |
| menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiers | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | 'Enable quantity selection to specify quantity of Modifier option' gives a per-option quantity, but the enumerated option fields hold one flat Price and no named light/regular/extra/double tiers or per-tier multiplier. The EU option form is thinner again (name, optional price, VAT). source |
| kitchen-expo-consolidation | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-no | Positive absence, not silence. The KDS documentation set (what-is, set-up, exploring, troubleshoot) enumerates the complete interface as four screens and the complete settings as four sections; an order reaches Ready when one operator taps Complete Order on that device, and the only routing control is a per-device category filter. There is no expo role and no all-stations-bumped gate. source |
| kitchen-bump-bar-hardware | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-no | Both first-party supported-hardware lists enumerate touchscreen tablets only — most Android tablets plus MicroTouch 21.5in/15in in the US, and a 10in Lenovo / 15in SumUp tablet in GB — and the documented interaction is tapping Start Order and Complete Order. No bump bar or programmable keypad in either list. source |
| delivery-zone-pricing | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | SumUp Online Store 'Add local delivery' does give each postcode zone its own fee, free-delivery threshold and minimum order amount, matched automatically from the checkout address. Held to partial: it is the Online Store rather than the restaurant POS ordering flow, zones are postcode lists, and the time element is a delivery schedule with earliest/latest dates rather than a per-zone quoted promise time. source |
| guest-loyalty-unified-profile | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | SumUp Connect keeps a phone-number-keyed member profile usable from the Connect tablet or the Fivestars software on the POS. Held to partial: attribution is a manual Check-In / Sign-Up at the point of service, no dedup or merge behaviour is documented, and no article ties first-party web ordering or kiosk transactions to the same profile. source |
| guest-loyalty-lifecycle-automation | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-yes | Grade B help documentation for SumUp Connect AutoPilot describes always-on lifecycle automation with a 90-day lapsed win-back trigger, a post-first-visit send and merchant-controlled rewards and messages; the first-party product page adds birthday sends. Table-stakes weight, so grade B carries the yes. Noted in the claim that it requires the separate Connect subscription. source |
| labor-clock-in-at-pos | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-yes | Documented end to end: the employee record issues a PIN 'they will need this to clock in' with per-location 'Can Clockin', and Back Office time-clock settings include 'Require the employee to be clocked-in to make a sale' and 'clocking-out should also sign-out the active user on the POS'. No separate time-clock hardware is referenced. source |
| labor-granular-rbac | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | POS Pro publishes a genuine per-action rights list (discounts, product cancellation, payment cancellation, cash drawer, all orders, closed orders, all devices, till management, close till, encaissement). Held to partial: rights are toggled on each individual user rather than on reusable roles, there is no location dimension, and no discrete price-change, refund or report-access right exists. The SumUp-profile custom-role model is role-based but coarser. source |
| inventory-count-modes | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | An ad-hoc reconcile exists (US Receive/reconcile products, loadable by category/vendor/brand; EU per-item remaining-quantity entry). Held to partial: the EU article states only two stock methods exist and both are tracking modes, so there is no full-physical or scheduled cycle-count mode and no per-count variance history — entering a quantity overwrites the prior figure. source |
| reporting-realtime-dashboard | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | The Current Till Report monitors revenue, orders, customers, average spend and cash in real time from the back-office dashboard. Held to partial: it is a browser back office, the documented mobile route is a Safari home-screen shortcut to that same web page rather than a native app, and the report is unavailable when no till is open. source |
| reporting-eod-closeout | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | A Daily closeout report and a register Z-out both exist. Held to partial: the documented contents split the reconciliation across reports — tender types in the Sales report, drawer counts and expected cash in Close day, tax in the Tax report — so no single document carries gross/net, tax, tips, discounts, refunds, tender types and expected cash deposit together. Refunds are not named in the Daily closeout contents. source |
| reporting-pmix-modifier-level | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | The Product Sales Report filters on 'product, category, store, product type, menu, meal, options or product with options' with quantity, cashed sales, tax, cost and margin, a tax in/out toggle for gross and net, and a start/end hour-of-day filter — so item and modifier level with a daypart cut are met. Held to partial for the missing revenue-centre dimension; the only location cut is Stores. source |
| multi-location-org-hierarchy | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-no | Positive absence. Multi-site scoping is documented as a flat store picker with select/deselect and 'all stores'; the Product Sales Report and US Sales by location report use the same flat store list; catalogue management is per store. Neither help set contains a region, group or brand object, so the structure is two levels, not three. source |
| multi-location-central-menu-publish | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-no | The vendor's own documented method is a manual CSV workaround — export from the source store, strip ProductId in Excel, import into each target store, with a warning that missing SKUs produce duplicates. That is the enumerated alternative in place of a central publish; there is no corporate menu object, no publish-to-selected-locations action and no version history. source |
| multi-location-price-zones | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-no | The item form enumerates a single Item Price plus a location multi-select that governs availability rather than price, with no other pricing control besides eCommerce display names and date availability; on the EU side each store holds duplicated product records replicated by SKU-keyed CSV. No price tier, zone or channel-price object exists, so one item record cannot carry different prices per location group, channel or daypart. source |
| reliability-printer-fallback | unknown (F) — placeholder | resolve-to-partial | Double printing lets two printers be selected for the same product, and printers carry Till/Kitchen/Bar roles — static redundancy. Held to partial: nothing documents detection of an unreachable printer, automatic re-routing to a backup or the KDS, or an alert to staff. source |
| menu-pricing-nested-modifiers | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell, not an absence. The US Back Office modifier documentation supplies set-level min/max with required derived from a minimum of 1 or more, a per-order-type optional override, and nesting via 'Use Modifier options to add a modifier to this modifier option'. Held at partial because only one nested level is documented: nothing states that a set attached to an option can carry further sets, no maximum depth is published, and no three-level example appears, so the claim's three-level threshold is unmet on evidence. source |
| kitchen-station-routing | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. Routing does exist and is merchant-configurable: per-product 'Send to kitchen' / 'Send to drinks' / other flags in the POS Pro back office, honoured by a per-device KDS filter that can 'only show drinks products, kitchen products etc'. Held at partial because the destinations are a fixed three-way class rather than named stations, the only routing key documented is the product flag — order type and revenue centre appear nowhere in the enumerated printing properties — and the include/exclude decision is made on each KDS tablet rather than as per-location rules in Back Office. source |
| inventory-recipe-bom-costing | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. Production events give a genuine sub-recipe object — a preparation/recipe item built from other ingredients, costed by the back office, then consumable by products 'just like a normal ingredient' — and the US item form derives item cost as the sum of ingredient costs. Held at partial on both halves of the claim: only one prep level is documented (no prep-item-inside-prep-item), and no page states that plate cost re-derives when a component ingredient's cost later changes. source |
| order-capture-split-merge | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. Splitting is documented three ways in the Goodtill front-end docs — 'split by people or by item' from the table order form, and an amount route on the PAY screen ('you can change the amount tendered to split the bill') — and Table Management documents transferring an order to another table. Held at partial because no seat-based split exists, no percentage split is documented, merging two open checks or tables is absent entirely (transfer of one order is the only cross-table operation), and post-partial-payment behaviour is never addressed. source |
| digital-menu-single-source | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. QR Order and Pay draws items from the POS catalogue ('Click Add item, choose the desired items') and documents real-time sync for stock ('syncs inventory from POS and checks stock in real-time') and modifiers. Held at partial because the channel requires exactly the separate digital menu build the claim excludes — its own menu object with sections, item assignment and scheduling — and no article states that a POS item name or price edit propagates automatically to the published QR menu. source |
| hardware-offline-mode | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. The EU POS Pro offline article confirms the till works without internet (single iPad, 15-20 min sync at open, must not close the till offline) and Goodtill's API docs state most POS functionality is available offline. Held at partial because kitchen printing offline is nowhere documented, the claim's required explicit enumeration of degraded functions does not exist — the only named degradation (third-party loyalty lookup) sits in an unrelated article — and documented offline operation is restricted to one iPad. source |
| hardware-kds | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell — the KDS itself was already well-evidenced in this record's own sources. A first-party KDS is sold outright (10in Lenovo £100, 15in SumUp tablet £249, £15/mo software) with touch input and wait-time estimates, working natively with the whole SumUp POS line. Held at partial because the claim also requires station routing and course/fire timing: routing is only a per-device order-category filter with no named stations, and the fully enumerated four-screen interface and four-section settings contain no course or fire-timing control. No bump-bar hardware exists either, though touch input alone satisfies that disjunct. source |
| reliability-offline-order-entry | unknown (F) — placeholder 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' | resolve-to-partial | Placeholder marked an unexamined cell. Order entry offline is affirmed by the vendor ('You can use your till without internet') and corroborated by the Goodtill API docs ('most of the POS functionality is available offline'). Held at partial because the claim's other two legs — kitchen ticket routing and check printing continuing offline — are documented nowhere in either help set, and the documented offline mode is single-iPad only, so multi-terminal order entry does not continue. source |
