Foodlay Desktop POS - Offline Restaurant POS App

Foodlay Desktop POS is an offline-first desktop POS application for restaurants, cafes, and food businesses. It runs as a native app on Windows, macOS, and Linux, keeps the full product catalog and every order in a local SQLite database, and keeps taking orders at full speed even when the internet goes down - pending orders sync back to your server automatically the moment the connection returns.Requires the Foodlay Admin & Web Panel (separate purchase). This item is the desktop POS client only. It connects to a running installation of the Foodlay Admin & Web Panel - the Laravel-based server product, which is a separate purchase and is not included in this package. Without that server, the POS cannot log in or load products. The documentation includes a dedicated “Connecting to Your Server” guide covering every configuration value with concrete examples.Foodlay Key FeaturesOffline-first ordering - take orders, apply coupons, park carts, and print receipts with no internet; orders queue locally and push automatically when you’re back onlineMulti-branch - the cashier picks a POS-enabled branch after login; each branch has its own menu, prices, and categoriesFast product grid - category filter, real-time search by name or SKU, variant and add-on selection dialogs, discount badgesFull cart workflow - takeaway or home delivery, live totals with tax and discounts, delivery address captureParked carts - put an order on hold with a label (“Table 5”), serve the next customer, resume any time; parked carts survive restartsOffline coupon validation - coupon codes are validated locally against the synced coupon list (expiry, minimum order, active state)Customer lookup - live server search when online, recently-seen cache when offline, walk-in guest modePayments - cash with change-due calculation, card (last-4 capture), customer wallet, or send-a-payment-link through a third-party gateway (Stripe, SSLCommerz, or others configured on your server).
