Lavu

Lavu is an iPad-based point-of-sale (POS) system built specifically for restaurants, bars, cafes and hospitality businesses. It offers fast order-taking, payments, menu and table management, and reporting, designed around the needs of food-service operations of many kinds.

Restaurant-focused POS

Lavu handles the specifics of food service — menu and modifier management, table and floor plans, coursing, and fast order entry — so staff can take and manage orders quickly during service. Its restaurant focus is central to its design.

Payments and operations

The platform includes integrated payments, plus tools for inventory, staff management and order routing to the kitchen, helping restaurants run smoothly from the front counter to the back of house.

Reporting and flexibility

Lavu provides sales and business reporting, and offers flexibility for different hospitality settings — full-service restaurants, bars, cafes and quick-service — with online ordering and integrations to extend it.

Who it's for

Lavu is ideal for restaurants, bars, cafes and hospitality businesses that want an iPad POS built specifically for food service, with menu, table and payment features tailored to the industry. For a food-service business wanting a flexible, restaurant-focused POS, Lavu is a capable choice.

Why restaurants choose Lavu

Lavu appeals to restaurants, bars and cafes because it's built specifically for food service on affordable iPad hardware, handling the specifics of hospitality — menus and modifiers, table and floor management, coursing and fast order entry — better than general-purpose POS tools. Running on iPads keeps hardware costs and footprint reasonable, and its restaurant focus means the features match how food-service operations actually work, from taking a customised order to routing it to the kitchen and turning tables efficiently during a rush.

Operations, payments and flexibility

Beyond order-taking, Lavu includes integrated payments, inventory, staff management and reporting, plus online ordering and integrations, giving restaurants tools to run both the front and back of house. Its flexibility across settings — full-service restaurants, bars, cafes and quick-service — makes it suitable for many kinds of food business. For a restaurant, bar or cafe that wants an iPad POS designed around the realities of food service, with the operational tools to run service smoothly and the flexibility to fit their format, Lavu is a capable, hospitality-focused choice.

In short, Lavu is an affordable, iPad-based POS built around the realities of food service, giving restaurants, bars and cafes the menu, table, payment and operational tools to run service smoothly.
