BelloPOS for your trade

Free restaurant POS software

Tables, the kitchen pass and the bill, on a point of sale that keeps taking orders when the internet drops.

Free download for Windows · checking the latest release… · works offline

A restaurant lives or dies on service speed, and a till that waits for a server somewhere else is a till that stops your dining room. BelloPOS runs entirely on the Windows PC or Mac at your counter: orders, tables, the kitchen screen and printed receipts all work with the connection unplugged, because nothing has to leave the building to be saved.

Start on the free lifetime licence and pay nothing at all: a genuinely free restaurant POS for Morocco. When you want table plans, the kitchen display and purchase tracking, pay once and sell forever, or go monthly with no commitment; nothing renews automatically and no card is kept on file.

What you get

Tables and floor plan

Lay out your rooms and terrace, seat a party, and keep every table's running total in front of you. Move a bill between tables, or split it between diners, without restarting the order.

Kitchen orders that arrive instantly

Send each course straight to a kitchen screen or printer as it is taken. Cooks see what is waiting and what is ready, so the pass and the floor stop shouting at each other.

Receipt printer support

Print the ticket on a 58 mm or 80 mm thermal printer, or on any printer your computer already uses. Customise the header, add your ICE and tax lines, and export an invoice to PDF when a customer asks for one.

Staff accounts and permissions

Give every waiter their own login and decide exactly what each role can see: who can void a line, apply a discount, or open the cash drawer, and what appears in the day's totals.

Restaurant software for bukas, eateries and fast food

A Nigerian lunch rush moves fast: jollof and fried rice, amala and ewedu, pounded yam and egusi, plates for the tables and takeaway packs for the offices. The BelloPOS restaurant module, in Pro, keeps track of every order. Open a table, add plates and drinks, send the order to the kitchen screen on a phone or tablet, and print the bill when the customer is ready. Takeaway orders go straight through without a table, and every drink sold comes off the stock count so the cooler matches the report.

Because BelloPOS runs on the PC in your restaurant, a network outage or a switch to the generator does not wipe the orders. Waiters can take orders on their own phones with the handheld web app over your restaurant's Wi-Fi, so nobody runs back and forth to the counter. Customers pay by cash, transfer or your POS terminal, and each sale records how it was paid. Whether you run a buka in Yaba, an eatery in Wuse, a suya spot in Kano or a chop house in Enugu, our setup team adds your menu and trains your staff remotely.

Every way your customers pay

Nigerian customers pay with cash, bank transfer and the POS terminal, often all three in one afternoon. You add the payment methods your shop takes, and each sale in BelloPOS records how it was paid. The money itself still goes through your bank or terminal provider.

Cash, with change worked out and a cash drawer that opens on the sale
Bank transfer, recorded as its own method so you can tick each sale against your alerts
Card and transfer on your own POS terminal from Moniepoint, Opay, PalmPay or your bank
USSD and QR payments, recorded under the method you name
Any other method you take, added by you in a few clicks
Customer credit, where regulars buy now and pay at month-end, in Go and above
A daily cash count at closing, the drawer checked against the day's sales

BelloPOS does not connect to POS terminals or bank accounts and cannot confirm that a transfer has arrived. Check the alert as usual, then record the payment in BelloPOS.

Restaurant and buka questions

Which plan does a restaurant need?

Pro. It includes the restaurant module with tables, the kitchen screen, several tills and the handheld web app for waiters, plus our done-for-you setup. We install BelloPOS remotely, help you connect your printers, add your menu and train your staff. You can test every Pro feature free for 7 days before you buy.

Can waiters take orders on their phones?

Yes. With Pro, staff open the handheld web app in their phone's browser over your restaurant's Wi-Fi. They choose the table, add plates and drinks, and the order reaches the kitchen screen and the main till. No mobile data is needed, because the phones talk to the PC in your restaurant, not to the internet.

How do I handle takeaway packs and deliveries?

Sell takeaway orders straight from the till without opening a table, and add the pack or container as its own product if you charge for it. With Go and above you can also record orders that come through delivery companies, so you can see how much each channel brings in and what you are owed.

What VAT should my restaurant charge?

That depends on your turnover and on how your food is treated under the Nigeria Tax Act, and small businesses may be exempt from charging VAT. BelloPOS does not work out VAT or issue VAT invoices, and it is not an approved fiscalisation solution. Ask your accountant which rate applies and how to invoice it before you set your menu prices.

Can I track drinks and ingredients stock?

Yes. Every drink, bottled water and packaged item sold comes off stock automatically, and deliveries add it back. For cooked food, track the main bought-in items, such as bags of rice or crates of eggs, as stock you adjust when you use them. The report then shows what you sold and what is running low.
