POS Waiter / Tableside Ordering App

In a busy full-service restaurant, the walk-to-the-register-and-back loop is where covers slow down and orders get scrambled. The POS Waiter / Tableside Ordering App is a build-to-order Odoo module that lets each waiter log in on a phone or tablet, take the full order at the table, and fire it straight to the kitchen — while the check stays open on the main POS register for settlement. No paper dupes, no re-keying, no guessing who took table 12.

This is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports this module for your specific POS configuration — your product catalog, your kitchen stations, your discount rules, and your floor plan. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from kickoff.

How it fits Odoo under the hood

The module is a clean extension of point_of_sale, not a fork. On the backend we add an OWL front-end screen served inside the POS client and a set of ORM models — a lightweight pos.tableside.order staging layer plus extensions to pos.order and pos.order.line — so tableside tickets and register checks are the same records, not a parallel system. Compute fields on the order line use @api.depends to keep line totals, taxes, and discount amounts in lock-step with the register. Kitchen tickets are printed via a QWeb report (or pushed to your existing kitchen display / IoT printer) with the waiter's name and table stamped on every ticket.

Because it rides on standard Odoo POS sync, the product catalog, pricelists, discount policies, tax rules, and order notes that already live in your product.template / pos.config records flow to the handheld automatically in real time — change a price in the back office and it's live on the floor. Access is governed the Odoo way: a dedicated Waiter group defined in ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so a waiter only sees and edits their own open tables, while managers see the whole floor.

Built for Odoo 17, 18 and 19 — Community or Enterprise

We deliver against your exact version and edition. The module works on Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0, on both Community and Enterprise. If you later want to wire tableside orders into an external app, the same records are reachable over Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API — no hidden data stores.

Waiter accountability, built in

Every order line carries the waiter who entered it. Kitchen tickets, the register check, and back-office POS reports all show the waiter name, so covers, voids, comps, and re-fires are attributable. Managers get a clean answer to "who took this order and who fired it to the kitchen?" without a separate spreadsheet.

What you actually get

A production-ready module tuned to your restaurant, installed on your server, with configuration, documentation, staff training, and a support window — delivered by an ECOSIRE Odoo engineer, not thrown over the wall as a zip file.
