What is a restaurant POS system?
A POS system is the till the restaurant takes payment in, and everything attached to it: the menu, the bills, the kitchen tickets, the receipts and the reports. Karma's POS is cloud-based, so it runs on iPad, computer or phone, and the menu is changed in one place for every device. Online ordering, ordering at the table, loyalty and analytics sit in the same system instead of four subscriptions that never talk to each other.
The AI engine KAIA is built in: it answers questions about sales in plain language, sums up the day, watches inventory and suggests add-ons as guests order. More than 500 restaurants, cafés and amusement parks take payments through Karma every month. Free costs nothing, the paid packages are 995 to 2 995 kr per month per venue excluding VAT, and the cash register meets the Swedish Tax Agency's requirements.
Everything a restaurant till should handle is included
Most restaurants run the till from one vendor, online ordering from another and loyalty from a third. With Karma it is all in the same system from day one, with no modules to buy and no extra subscriptions.
Automatic bookkeeping
SIE files and journal entries straight into Fortnox. Invoices and records follow without double entry.
Approved cash register
Meets the Swedish Tax Agency's requirements, with a control unit and Z and X reports.
Runs on what you already have
iPad, iPhone, Android, a computer or a payment terminal. No hardware you have to buy.
Cards, Swish and terminal
Integrated payment terminal, cards and Swish in one flow, without switching systems.
Split bills and open tabs
Split per person or per item, keep tabs open and see the table map in the till.
Tips
Percentage or free amount right on the terminal, and correct in the books.
Table bookings
Bookings in the same system as the till, so the table is ready when the guest arrives.
Self-service kiosk
Guests order and pay themselves. Same menu and same till as at the counter.
Several venues
See each venue or the whole business in real time, and change the menu everywhere at once.
Digital receipts
The receipt goes to the guest by email or SMS, or prints if they would rather have paper.
Discounts and campaigns
Percentage, amount or bundle price in the till, and campaigns that reach the right guests.
Inventory
See stock in real time, get warned before something runs out, and stop counting by hand.
A stand-in gets it right on the first shift
A POS that only the chef and the owner understand costs you time every time someone new starts. Karma is built so staff get going immediately, without long training or awkward onboarding. When we install, the technician walks your own most common actions through with the staff: splitting a bill, opening a tab, discounts, refunds and end of day. After that a stand-in finds their way on the first shift, because the quick keys sit where you put them rather than where a manual thinks they belong.
- Staff get going immediately, without long training
- We train you and your staff on site during the installation
- Quick keys sit where you want them, not where the system wants them
- Tickets route to the right kitchen station, on printers or screens
AI built into the POS
KAIA reads your sales data in real time. Ask a question in plain language and get an answer right away: what's selling, which campaigns work and what needs attention while service is running. Daily summaries surface what matters most, and inventory intelligence helps you cut waste and avoid running out. And when guests order, KAIA suggests the right add-ons automatically.
Connected to the tools you already use
Karma is a complete solution, but it also talks to the tools you already use. Invoices, SIE files and accounting records go straight into your accounting system, like Fortnox. Orders from Wolt, Foodora and Uber Eats land directly in the POS and the kitchen. Personalkollen and Swish are connected. And if you run Trivec today, Karma's QR ordering and loyalty plug in on top of the POS you already have.
What does a POS system cost?
Our recommended packages land around the prices on the pricing page. If you only want one part, for example the POS or QR ordering, you get a quote for your setup. Selling surplus via Karma Save is included at no extra cost for all customers.
POS for cafés and quick service
Short queues and high volume make different demands than table service. Karma has quick keys for what sells the most, self-service kiosks for cutting the line, and a loyalty program that recognizes regulars automatically by the card they pay with.
How to switch POS systems
Switching POS systems is less dramatic than it sounds. We guide you through the installation and set up menus and products together with you. Karma runs on our recommended hardware or what you already have, and works on tablets, computers, phones and payment terminals. Most of our customers are up and running within days, and everything is ready before your first service.
