iCHEF POS

What iCHEF POS is

iCHEF POS is a cloud-connected point of sale system for food and beverage businesses, with its app running on Apple iPad devices and access through the web. It brings order handling, table management, inventory, customer loyalty and accounting functions together. Restaurants can connect online ordering to the POS so orders enter the system while menus and inventory stay in sync. Online ordering tools include menu recommendations, meal set upgrades and group QR ordering. When an item sells, iCHEF can deduct its ingredients from inventory and alert users about important ingredients. Its Xero integration syncs daily sales and separates invoices by payment method for reconciliation. The POS can continue operating offline, then sync data stored locally when connectivity returns. Administrator backend access can use email-code two-factor authentication. iCHEF lists cafes, full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants and food trucks among its customer types. The Singapore FAQ lists 24/7 phone support, onsite installation, staff training and technical support. The app requires iPadOS 17 or later to download or update. A free demo can be requested through the Singapore site. The iCHEF POS plan costs 99 SGD a month; hardware may be purchased separately.
