Point of sale (POS) systems

Bytebento builds point of sale systems for stores, restaurants and cafés: fast checkout on a tablet or computer that updates your stock and your sales reports as you sell.

What it does

Fast checkout
Ring up items by search, category or barcode on a tablet or computer, with discounts and split payments.
Cash, GCash, Maya and cards
Every payment method recorded, so the day's cash count matches.
Stock deducted per sale
Each sale takes the item, or a recipe's ingredients, out of stock, with low-stock warnings.
Cashier shifts
Opening cash, closing count and every sale tied to the cashier who made it.
Menu and product setup
Prices, variants, add-ons and promos managed by the owner, not the developer.
Daily sales reports
Sales by item, hour, cashier and branch, ready at closing.
Multiple branches
Each branch runs its own counter; the owner sees all of them in one place.

How it works day to day

  1. 01The cashier opens a shift with the starting cash.
  2. 02Each sale is rung up on a tablet or computer; payment by cash, GCash, Maya or card is recorded.
  3. 03Every item sold, or every ingredient in a dish, comes out of stock right away.
  4. 04At closing the cashier counts the drawer, and the system shows any difference from the expected cash.
  5. 05The owner gets the day's sales by item, hour, cashier and branch, from anywhere.

Good to know

BIR accreditation. Under BIR rules (RMC 68-2015), only BIR-accredited POS or receipting software may be used to issue sales receipts or invoices, and each machine needs its own Permit to Use. We plan the accreditation with you from the start, or keep the system to orders and stock while invoices come from an accredited system.

A one-time build you own, with no monthly fee per device or per branch. Every project starts with a free fixed-scope proposal: the plan, timeline and price in writing before any work begins. See typical prices in the Philippines.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a POS system cost in the Philippines?

A custom POS typically starts from ₱150,000 and takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on branches, menu or product size and integrations. Ready-made POS apps cost less to start but charge monthly per device or branch.

Does a POS system need BIR accreditation?

If it issues sales receipts or invoices, yes. The BIR only allows accredited POS or receipting software for that, and each machine needs a Permit to Use. Check with your Revenue District Office for your case.

Can the POS track inventory?

Yes. Every sale deducts stock, including the ingredients in a recipe, and warns you before an item runs out.

Should I build a POS or use a ready-made one?

If a ready-made POS fits your store and its monthly fees make sense, use it. A custom POS pays off when you have several branches, an unusual workflow, or need it to work with your own systems.

Can it work for a restaurant?

Yes. Orders can go to the kitchen by table or counter number, with add-ons and notes, and each dish deducts its ingredients from stock.

What hardware do we need?

Usually a tablet or computer, a receipt printer and, if you like, a barcode scanner and cash drawer. We'll list what fits your counter before you buy anything.
