A complete offline restaurant management desktop app — billing, tables, staff, inventory, suppliers, cashier shifts, expenses, complaints, and reports, all in one Windows application.
NTVISION Restaurant POS is a full-featured, offline-first Windows desktop application (Electron + a local SQLite database, secured with bcrypt password hashing) built to run every operational side of a restaurant from a single install — not just billing, but staffing, inventory, suppliers, cash handling, and customer service as well. Setup starts with a guided Setup Wizard: an owner creates the first admin account, activates a license key (verified online against the vendor's server, with a local fallback check when offline), configures the business profile, and optionally installs a starter product catalog for their type of restaurant. Once set up, two kinds of accounts can sign in: an Admin (full email/password login, with password-change and email-change flows, plus a password-reset request/verify flow) and Staff (fast PIN login with lockout protection after repeated failed attempts). Every staff account has granular, page-level permissions, so a cashier, a kitchen manager, and an owner can each see only the sections relevant to their role. The Billing screen is the operational core: build an order from the product catalog (including multi-item "Deals" bundled at a special price), apply per-product or whole-order discounts, attach a customer, and choose Dine In (linked to a specific table), Takeaway, or Delivery as the order type. Orders can be held (parked) and resumed later, and every finalized sale is stamped with a system-generated invoice number and linked to the active cashier shift and staff member who processed it. Completed sales can later be cancelled or refunded with a reason recorded against them. Restaurant floor management is handled through Apartments & Tables: the venue is divided into floors/sections (apartments), each holding numbered tables with a seating capacity and live status (available, occupied, reserved, etc.), and each table can be linked directly to its current held order for one-tap reopening. Inventory is tracked at two levels. Sellable Products (with SKU, category, supplier, price, stock quantity, minimum restock level, and either flat or percentage discounts) can carry multiple variants, each with its own price, discounted price, and stock. Every stock change — restocks, sales, adjustments — is logged in a stock-movement ledger tied to the responsible supplier and staff member. Separately, non-sale operational Supplies & Consumables (napkins, cleaning supplies, packaging, etc.) are tracked by unit, current stock, minimum restock level, and unit cost, with their own movement history. Suppliers are managed with contact details, an opening balance, and a full purchase history per supplier. Cash handling is built around Cashier Shifts: a staff member opens a shift with an opening cash amount and notes, all cash sales and manual cash movements (drops, pay-ins/pay-outs with a reason) are tracked against that shift, and closing the shift compares expected cash (calculated automatically) against the actual counted cash, recording any variance. A full shift history is kept for audit purposes. Front-of-house operations extend to Customers (contact info, customer type, opening balance, notes with timestamps, and full purchase history), Payment Methods (custom methods beyond cash — cards, mobile wallets, bank transfer — each with an icon, reference field, and a default flag, plus a "today's payment stats" summary), Expenses (categorized spending with vendor, payment method, date/time, reference, and status), and Complaints (customer complaints logged with category, priority, and status, assignable to staff, with a full threaded reply history per complaint for tracking resolution). Reporting covers sales history with exportable reports (PDF and image export) for accounting and record-keeping. Settings centralizes everything: shop branding (name, logo, phone, email, address, tax ID), receipt formatting (footer text, currency, date/time format), printer configuration (default printer, paper width, copies, auto-print, cash-drawer kick, customer copy), sale behavior toggles (confirm-before-sale, allow-negative-stock, low-stock alerts, require-customer-for-delivery), and license status. Data safety is built in with local backup export/import and configurable automatic backups, plus a "choose backup folder" option so shop owners control exactly where their data is protected. Every piece of data — staff, categories, customers, suppliers, products, deals, stock, supplies, payment methods, cashier shifts, sales, tables, expenses, and complaints — is fully manageable (add/update/remove/list) from within the app, with a self-migrating local database so new versions of the app never require a manual database upgrade step.
