At the till
Ring a sale, split a bill, apply a promotion, take payment and print — without leaving the cart.
The complete point of sale
Floor plans, stock, kitchen tickets, combos, memberships, loyalty, promotions and reporting — more than twenty modules on one system, running on Windows counters, Android tablets, the waiters’ phones, the kitchen pass and the web — and your customers order and book online. Six themes, any accent colour, three languages with full right-to-left. And it keeps selling when the connection drops.
New · Android tablets
A lighter Octopus POS made for selling and serving, on a 10 or 13 inch tablet. It can be the only POS in the shop: everything is set up on the Octopus Manager website, from any phone or PC.
The sale screen, payments (split and credit), tables and floor plan, bookings, send to kitchen, cash sessions, cash in and out, and the Z report. It works offline and syncs when the internet comes back.
Tap “Find printers” and the tablet finds the receipt printer on the shop’s network — nobody types an address. Kitchen tickets print the same way, and the cash drawer opens through the receipt printer.
No scanner needed: tap the barcode button and show the product to the camera. Two identical items scanned one after the other make two lines.
Full screen, and the screen never sleeps during service. “Lock the POS on screen” keeps staff in the app. It uses the tablet’s own keyboard, in every language, and keeps syncing in the background.
The tablet sees a new version and installs it after one tap, like the Windows POS. No app store needed.
The first install is a download from this site. Android asks you to allow the install: allow it once, then tap Install.
Octopus Waiter
Waiters work on an Android phone or tablet paired with the POS. Same tables, same menu, same prices — and everything goes straight to the till and the kitchen over the shop’s own Wi‑Fi, internet or not.
Every table with its status, exactly as the till shows it. A table held by a booking asks before anyone is seated.
Sizes, extras, required choices, combos and weighed products follow the counter’s rules, so the kitchen gets what the guest asked for.
Print the bill, split it between guests, take cash or card and add a tip — when the owner allows it, and only for the roles that may.
A discount, or removing an item already sent to the kitchen, asks a manager’s PIN on the waiter’s own screen — as at the till.
A Menu tab with every product’s price, description and options, and what is left in stock — before the guest asks.
An order stays on the device until the till confirms it. A dropped Wi‑Fi never doubles a ticket, and a till that changes address is found again by itself.
Try it
A working miniature of the till. Add a few items, take payment, print the receipt — then cut the connection and watch it carry on.
Tap a product to start a sale.
One system
The till, the stockroom, the customer and the back office are not four products bolted together. They are four views of one.

Ring a sale, split a bill, apply a promotion, take payment and print — without leaving the cart.

Count stock, take deliveries in and assign stock line by line, scanning straight into the same product list the till sells from.

A branded customer display, loyalty cards and store credit, resolved on the spot — connection or not.

Takings, best sellers, Z-reports and stock per location — in any browser and on your phone.
Features
Built around how a restaurant or a shop actually works, not around a checklist of features.
Lay out the room, move guests between tables, split and merge bills. Tables keep their state even when the connection drops.
Orders reach the pass over the shop’s own network. The kitchen display keeps working even when the internet is down.
Each line of a sale can come from a different warehouse — product A from one, product B from another, in the same sale.
Sizes, extras and required choices, each with its own price, so a cashier rings a complicated order without leaving the cart.
Shift totals, Z-reports, tax breakdowns and product mix — exportable, and translated with the rest of the interface.
Reservations tied to the same floor plan the service runs on, so the room the host sees is the room that exists.
Customer accounts, loyalty cards, per-customer discounts and store credit, all resolvable while offline.
Audited refunds and voids with reason codes and manager approval, returning stock to the warehouse it came from.
Receipt printers, cash drawers and barcode scanners on Windows and on tablets, where the camera scans too. Weighing scales on Windows.
Sell a burger menu as one product with its choices, and a product in several sizes or colours — each variant with its own price, barcode and stock.
Buy by the box, sell by the piece; sell olives by the kilo. Stock is kept in one unit and converted for you on every line.
Scan a product you have never sold: its name, brand and picture fill themselves in from the open product databases (Open Food Facts and its sister databases).
Tips on card or in cash, for the person who served, kept apart from the takings and paid out from the drawer when they leave.
Decide role by role who may give a discount, remove an item already sent to the kitchen, close another cashier’s session or take cash out. Anything else asks for a manager’s PIN.
Record purchases from your suppliers, move stock between warehouses with a transfer that shows as on its way until it arrives, and count shelves with quick inventory.
Save a cart as a quote and turn it into a sale later. Sell on account to a known customer and collect the payments over time.
Staff clock in and out on the till. Salaries, advances and bonuses are recorded as documents, and each person sees their own history.
Percentages, fixed prices and offers on one product, a group of products or the whole menu — applied by the till on its own, with member prices on top.
Octopus Manager
Everything the counter needs is configured on the Manager website, from a phone or a PC. A shop running only on a tablet does all its setup here — nothing to configure on the tablet itself.
Open Octopus Manager(opens in a new tab)New · For your customers
Each shop gets its own ordering and booking pages. Customers order, book and keep their membership card on their phone, and everything lands on the till, where staff accept it with one tap.
Your menu, your prices and your promotions on a page of your own. Customers order ahead and follow their order live; the till accepts it and sends it to the kitchen.
Customers choose the service, the person and the time that suit them. Bookings land on the till’s calendar, and the services are rung up when the visit starts.
Sell plans with member prices. Members carry their card on their phone, and you are reminded before a membership runs out.
After an order, customers leave a rating and a comment from their phone; you read every review in Octopus Manager.
Platforms
Installs on any Windows touch monitor, 10 to 15 inches. The full counter.
A lighter POS made for selling and serving, on a 10 or 13 inch tablet. It can be the only POS in the shop.
Tables, orders, the bill and payment at the table, on an Android phone or tablet paired with the POS.
A screen at the pass, fed by the till over your own network.
Setup, stock and takings from any browser, on a phone or a PC.
Buttons sized for a finger, not a mouse pointer. Six themes, including a dimmed one and a night one for low-light rooms. Arabic reads right to left, properly. And every screen arranges itself to the size it is on, so a 10-inch tablet and a 15-inch counter monitor each get a layout that fits instead of one that spills off the edge.
Download the POS for Windows or for an Android tablet, or sign in to Octopus Manager from any browser.
Editions
One system, two license levels. Standard is the complete till, working entirely offline. Pro adds the cloud on top of it — Octopus Manager in any browser, and every location in sync.
No hidden fees: every charge is on your written quote before you pay, and a subscription can be refunded in full within 14 days. Refund policy
Questions
Nothing you can see. Every sale is saved on the POS itself first, then queued for the server. Staff keep ringing orders, printing receipts and sending tickets to the kitchen. When the connection comes back, the queue empties on its own.
No. Each POS keeps its own copy of your data and syncs to our servers. The kitchen display talks to the POS over the shop’s own network, so the pass keeps working even with no internet on the premises.
Yes. It is the same app on both, sharing one product list, one floor plan and one set of reports.
English, French and Arabic today. Arabic reads right to left throughout — not a mirror image bolted on afterwards, but the way the screens were laid out from the start.
Yes. Each company’s data is kept completely separate, with its own warehouses, stock and reports per location under a single owner account.
Yes. The Android tablet can be the only POS in the shop. You do the setup — products, prices, taxes, payment types, staff — on the Octopus Manager website from any phone or PC, which comes with the Pro edition.
Receipt printers connected to the shop’s network, by Wi‑Fi or cable. The tablet finds them in one tap. Bluetooth and USB printers do not work with the tablet yet.
Not directly. Your bank’s card machine works on its own: the cashier takes the payment on it, then taps “Card” in the POS.
Yes, with the Pro edition. Each shop gets its own ordering page and booking page. Orders and bookings land on the POS, where staff accept them, and customers follow them from their phone.
Yes, if you allow it. The owner switches it on in the POS settings and chooses which roles may take payment. The waiter can split the bill and add a tip, and the sale lands on the till like any other.
No. The first time, you download it from this site; after that it updates itself.
A short walkthrough on your own menu and floor plan — including pulling the network cable mid-sale, which is the part worth watching.
