Cloudbeds POS turns an iPad or iPhone into a full point of sale for your property's restaurant, bar, café or room service built by Cloudbeds, so it talks directly to the folios your front desk already manages. TAKE ORDERS ANYWHERE Work from a floor plan of your real tables and sections, or start a quick order at the counter. Browse your menu by category, search by name or SKU, and add modifiers, notes and per-item discounts as you go. Send courses to the kitchen or bar when you're ready. CHARGE IT TO THE ROOM Post a check straight to an in-house guest's folio or to a house account, so it settles at checkout with everything else. Search by guest name, room number or group event — no re-keying, no paper chits walking to the front desk. SPLIT BILLS WITHOUT THE ARITHMETIC Split evenly across any number of guests, or by item. Take part-payments in sequence and the order stays open until it's fully settled. Add tips and tax IDs where you need them. BUILT FOR A REAL SERVICE Orders keep working when the Wi-Fi doesn't. Everything you do offline is queued and synced the moment you reconnect, so a dead spot in the garden doesn't stop service. RUN YOUR FLOOR Track every order by status, filter to just your own, and transfer tables to another server at shift change. Print or send receipts. Switch between outlets without signing out. MADE FOR PROPERTIES Staff sign in with a PIN on a shared device. Prices, taxes and currency come from your property settings, so the numbers match the rest of Cloudbeds. Cloudbeds POS requires a Cloudbeds account.

The Ruggedized, Offline-First Operating System for Convention Exhibitors. Booth Scout transforms the chaos of high-density fan conventions and markets into a streamlined, high-speed business operation. Engineered specifically for independent Artist Alley vendors, illustrators, enamel pin makers, and zine creators, this workspace strips away administrative noise to protect your data, your inventory, and your focus when you are live behind a 6-foot table. From lead-shielded exhibition halls to remote local craft expos, manage your entire convention circuit with absolute precision—completely offline. CRITICAL FEATURE ARCHITECTURE: 01. THE GHOST POS & INTUITIVE CHECKOUT • Ultra-Fast Transactions: Tap through an accelerated, high-contrast point-of-sale layout designed explicitly for high-stress customer rushes. Process cash or card selections in two quick taps. • Local Inventory Resilience: Every transaction synchronously handles automated decrementing across your local catalog records. Tap targets are locked to a mandatory, fat-finger-friendly 56px configuration to completely eliminate mis-clicks on a crowded table. 02. INSTANT OCR "SNAP-TO-QUEUE" INGESTOR • Zero-Type Commission Ingestion: Ditch the sticky notes. Snap a quick photo of a handwritten custom commission sketch note or attendee badge. • On-Device Web Worker Parsing: An isolated, local character recognition framework chunks the text right on your device. It securely extracts customer names, prices, and design descriptions, slotting them directly into your live production queue without requiring a single bar of cellular signal. 03. THE MASTER VAULT & "THE CIRCUIT" CALENDAR • Future Allocation Soft-Locking: Stop accidentally cannibalizing your inventory. Map out your entire yearly convention circuit on an integrated multi-day calendar matrix. • Inventory Isolation: Draw from your global Master Vault and safely "park" stock allocations for a major event next month, ensuring those items are strictly locked and cannot be accidentally oversold at local weekend markets. 04. THE RESTOCK PROPHET & LOGISTICS BRIDGE • Predictive Supply Chain Analytics: Booth Scout cross-references your master stock levels, custom manufacturing lead times, and upcoming calendar timelines to flag critical reorder deadlines before they become inventory crises. • Universal Manifest Exports: Aggregate your data histories into standardized, manufacturer-ready CSV manifests sorted cleanly by manufacturer presets to streamline your order cycles. ENTERPRISE SYSTEM ACCESS & SECURITY: Booth Scout operates under a local-first, cloud-native hybrid architecture. Your critical operational ledger, compliance data, and active counts are permanently stored and modified entirely inside local storage to guarantee 100% autonomous offline execution. Secure Firebase background mirroring automatically backs up your business vault to a centralized profile when Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity gracefully returns. Get full access to manual logging, inventory mapping, and your primary workspace ledger completely free. Unlock unlimited multivariate tagging, local OCR scanning, historical analytics, and automated cloud synchronization via the Premium Pro Circuit Pass monthly subscription.
