Odoo Point of Sale (POS): Complete Retail & Restaurant Guide
Odoo Point of Sale is a web-based POS system that runs on any device with a browser, supporting retail stores, restaurants, and bars with fast checkout, offline capabilities, and real-time synchronization with the Odoo backend. The POS connects directly to Odoo Inventory for live stock updates, Odoo Accounting for automatic sales journal entries, and Odoo CRM for customer identification and loyalty tracking. Restaurant-specific features include floor plan management, table splitting, kitchen display integration, and tip handling. The system continues processing sales during internet outages and syncs all transactions automatically when connectivity is restored.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Odoo POS work offline?
Yes. Odoo POS runs in the browser and caches product data locally. During internet outages, you can continue scanning products, processing sales, and printing receipts. All transactions are queued and synchronized automatically when the connection is restored.
Can I use Odoo POS for a restaurant?
Odoo POS includes restaurant-specific features such as floor plan management, table assignment, bill splitting and merging, course sequencing, kitchen display integration, and tip handling. These features are activated through the restaurant mode configuration.
What hardware do I need?
Odoo POS runs in any modern web browser, so you can use a tablet, laptop, or touchscreen terminal. Optional hardware includes receipt printers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, and customer-facing displays, all of which connect via USB or network.
How does inventory sync work with the POS?
Every POS sale instantly deducts sold quantities from Odoo Inventory. This means your online store, warehouse team, and other POS locations all see the updated stock levels in real time, preventing overselling.
Can I manage multiple store locations?
Yes. Each location has its own POS configuration, warehouse, and session management while sharing the same product catalog and pricing rules. Centralized dashboards let managers compare sales performance across all locations.
