Why the payment step matters
30%
more sales for the average merchant that accepts cards.
Diners already decided how they want to pay. A restaurant that takes every card and wallet, at the table, keeps the guest who has no cash and closes the check minutes sooner.

Friday night, two ways
What slows a full dining room down.
Three places where restaurants lose minutes per table, and what Roger does about each one.
Taking the order
TodayServers write on a pad, wait in line at one terminal and retype everything.
With RogerOrders go in at the table on Roger Go, with modifiers and allergy notes, and reach the kitchen before the server walks away.
Splitting and tipping
TodayA table of eight wants five cards. The server runs them one at a time while other tables wait.
With RogerSplit by seat, by item or evenly in two taps. Guests tap, tip on screen and get the receipt by text.
Closing the night
TodayThe manager adds up tips with a calculator and a stack of slips at 1 a.m.
With RogerTip pooling rules run automatically and the close-out report is ready when the last check is paid.

FAQ
Restaurant POS questions, answered.
How much does a restaurant POS system cost in Texas?
It depends on the number of terminals, handhelds and kitchen screens, and on your monthly card volume. You get a written quote on one page the same day as your demo.
Can servers split a check by seat or by item?
Yes. Split evenly, by seat, by item or by a custom amount, and take each payment at the table.
Does it work for food trucks and counter service?
Yes. Roger Go runs on Wi-Fi or 4G, and quick-service mode skips tables and goes straight to order and pay.
How long does it take to switch from my current POS?
Most restaurants are live in 48 hours. We load your menu, modifiers, taxes and staff logins, and train your team before the first shift.
