What Novaryq is
Novaryq is a restaurant operating system for North American food and beverage businesses, bringing point of sale, payments, kitchen display, online ordering, inventory, staff and accounting tools into one platform. Its POS runs in a browser or native Android terminal app and supports floor maps, coursing, split checks and tips. Each location can offer a branded storefront for pickup, delivery and dine-in orders without a Novaryq per-order commission, though payment-processing and courier or third-party delivery fees may apply. The kitchen display routes live tickets to stations and shows age timers and all-day counts. Inventory tools cover recipe-based ingredient depletion, par levels, stock counts, vendor purchase orders and replenishment suggestions that account for open orders. Helcim handles card payments, tipping, refunds and daily settlement reconciliation. Operators with multiple locations can centrally manage menus, prices and policies, see consolidated reports and retain local operating control. Plans include Core, Growth and Scale, with device licences varying by plan; Enterprise is designed for larger or more complex rollouts. Novaryq is based in Kitchener–Waterloo, Ontario, and is available on Android and the web.
