Platform tour

One system from the first sale through month-end

Till, kitchen passes, goods receipts, stock transfers, staff audit trails, hardware integrations, pay-by-link, loyalty rewards, and owner reports for restaurants, delis, bottle stores, and multi-site operators across South Africa.

Point of sale

A till for a busy counter

High-contrast POS for long shifts: product photos on category tiles, modifiers, loyalty and promotions on the same ticket, parked tables, split payments, weight and open-price lines, and shift-linked accountability. Runs on the Windows and Android apps (download from Back office → Apps after you register) with offline queue.

  • Park and recall tickets. Any till at the same location can pick it up
  • Print the bill before the customer pays
  • Electronic tipping when you enable it for the location
  • Custom payment methods: card, cash, EFT, house accounts, and Pay online
  • Drag-and-drop till layout editor with manager permission

Payment Gateway

Get paid by WhatsApp link

Send a pay link from the till or a customer invoice. Customers pay through Payfast, PayGate, or Yoco on your merchant account. Volta marks the sale paid, updates stock, and prints the tax invoice automatically.

  • Pay links from the till or back-office invoices
  • Works with Payfast, PayGate, or Yoco
  • Sale completes when the money lands
  • R100 per month per location with Payment Gateway enabled

Hardware & native apps

Printers, scales, and scanners on Android

Install Volta POS from Back office → Apps on Windows PCs or Android tablets. On Android, use USB/Bluetooth receipt, kitchen, and label printers, weighing scales for deli lines, and Bluetooth barcode scanners. Both POS and KDS queue work offline and sync when connectivity returns.

  • Network, USB, and Bluetooth ESC/POS receipt & kitchen printers
  • USB/BT scales for sold-by-weight on Android
  • Bluetooth barcode scanner support on native till
  • Android KDS with offline tickets and LAN fallback

Live insights

See what is happening while you trade

The owner dashboard updates as sales complete: revenue, average ticket, gross profit, payment mix, top products, and low-stock alerts. Open 40+ reports for sales, cash-ups, voids, kitchen prep, and stock valuation, and export PDF or CSV when you need them.

  • Live dashboard with location and date filters
  • Sales, GP, tax, cash-ups, voids, and stock reports
  • Export to PDF or CSV for your accountant
  • Same login as back office, with no separate reporting subscription

Inventory & stock

Full stock control from goods receipt to production

Post goods receipts to update quantity and weighted average cost. Receive against a purchase order from the till as a draft for cost check. Run full or partial stock counts with variance posting. Transfer stock between locations with send/receive workflow. Build recipes and production batches. Track every movement in an audit log.

  • Goods receipts from back office or draft on the till
  • Receive against purchase orders, then confirm costs in back office
  • Stock counts, production/BOM, and composite products
  • Inter-location transfers with full movement trail
  • Supplier reorder suggestions based on min levels

Kitchen display

Orders land on the right screen

Create kitchen and bar stations, route categories (one category can hit multiple passes), and show prep timers with line-level bump/done. Kitchen notes stay on the KDS and off the customer receipt. Audio alerts for new tickets. Browser KDS or Android kitchen app included on Pro.

  • Multiple stations per location: Grill, Bar, Cold prep
  • Prep time metrics in reports for staffing decisions
  • Recall/reopen tickets when orders change
  • Offline Android KDS after first sign-in

Multi-location

Run more than one site from the same account

Each location gets its own stock, terminals, KDS stations, and receipt branding (logo, trade name, tax invoice). Move stock between branches with draft → send → receive workflow. Reports and dashboard filter by location so you see group or site performance.

  • Per-location product catalog scope where needed
  • Stock transfers with send/receive and audit trail
  • Up to 2 paired tills per location; add slots from Billing
  • Extra locations R400/mo each on active Pro

Accountability

See who voided, removed, or shorted the drawer

Cashiers cannot silently delete lines from parked tickets. Active-ticket removals log staff, terminal, and time. Voids and refunds are separate audit trails with permission gates. Cash payouts and pay-ins adjust the drawer with reporting. PIN quick-switch ties every sale to a named staff member.

  • Removed-items report summarised by staff
  • Shift cash-up: counted vs expected cash per terminal
  • Parked sales tab and void audit in reports
  • 14 granular POS permissions across three role tiers

Loyalty & promotions

Reward regulars and run promos without a second app

Register members in back office or on the till. Link a customer to earn points, or apply Buy X Get 1 Free rules on specific products. Promo codes and scheduled day-of-week promotions sit on the same ticket as manager discount controls.

  • Register members on the till or in back office
  • Points on spend, visit bonuses, and product-purchase rules
  • Buy X get 1 free, set per SKU
  • Promo codes and day-of-week promotions
  • Manager discount controls on the same ticket
