Chicago's restaurant scene blends classic steakhouse, deep-dish institutions, modern fine dining in West Loop, and a strong neighborhood casual scene across Wicker Park and Logan Square. The pressure points: BYOB licensing, Cook County tax complexity, brutal winter delivery volume, and a price-conscious diner economy. Chicago restaurants need a POS that handles BYOB-license workflows, Cook County tax + Chicago supplemental rates, winter delivery surge volume, and integration with Grubhub (which has strong Chicago market share). Fleksa runs in Wicker Park, Logan Square, West Loop, and across Chicago neighborhoods.
Fleksa Essentials at $99/month bundles POS, online ordering, KDS, reservations, and a website. Bundle at $199/month adds advanced reporting and multi-location features. Hardware: BYOD free, Sunmi terminals from ~$300. Year-1 cost for a single-terminal Chicago restaurant: typically $1,500–$2,500 — far below Toast or Lightspeed at the same feature parity.
Native integrations route every Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats order into the same KDS as direct orders. No separate kitchen ticket, no double-entry, no operational chaos. The kitchen sees one queue.
In most cases yes — Fleksa runs in any modern web browser, so existing iPads or Android tablets work as web-POS clients. For best long-term performance and lower cost, we recommend Sunmi terminals (from ~$300), but it's not required and there's no proprietary hardware lock-in.
Typical 1–2 weeks end-to-end including hardware setup, menu import, integrations, and staff training. Same-day if you're running on BYOD with a CSV menu import.
Yes — phone and chat support during business hours covering Chicago. For complex multi-location setups, we offer in-person onboarding visits in major US and DACH cities.
You choose your own payment processor — Stripe, Adyen, Worldpay, your local merchant bank, whoever gives you the best rate. Fleksa doesn't lock you in like Square (2.6% + 10¢ fixed) or Toast (Toast Payments contracts). Most restaurants negotiate 2.4–2.6% + $0.10 with the processor of their choice.
Yes — Fleksa menus support multiple languages natively. Customers see the menu in their browser language; staff see the canonical version on the POS. Switch languages at checkout for tourists or international customers.
Yes — multi-location is included in the Bundle plan. Per-location reporting, central menu management, role-based access for managers and staff. Common across Chicago restaurant groups expanding from one location to several.
