Restaurant POS for Austin restaurants

Austin's restaurant scene runs on BBQ institutions, food trucks turned brick-and-mortar, modern Tex-Mex, and a strong third-wave coffee + cocktail bar overlap. SXSW and ACL drive massive seasonal volume spikes that test every system. Texas tax + tip rules add their own quirks. Austin restaurants need a POS that handles SXSW and ACL volume spikes, food-truck-to-brick-and-mortar transitions, Texas sales tax + alcohol licensing, and tip pooling across BBQ-style counter service models. Fleksa is hardware-flexible enough to follow a food truck operation as it grows.

What Restaurant POS includes

  • Bundled platform — POS, online ordering, KDS, reservations, and website all included at $99/month Essentials or $199/month Bundle.
  • Hardware-flexible — BYOD on Android tablets, recommended Sunmi terminals, or run Fleksa on existing iPads via web browser.
  • Choose your own payment processor — no Square or Toast Payments lock-in.
  • Native delivery platform integrations — orders flow into the same KDS as direct orders, no separate kitchen ticket.
  • Multi-language menu support — handle the languages your customers actually speak.
