POS: match permissions to staff roles

Fleksa offers a restaurant POS, with service varying by market and plan. Decide which actions managers and other staff should be able to perform. Ask for a demonstration using different staff roles, then test whether a restricted user can perform a manager-only action such as issuing a refund.

Website: make key information easy to update

Fleksa offers restaurant websites. Ask who can edit the menu, hours and contact details, and whether changes require assistance. In a demo, update an item and check the published page on a phone as well as a desktop.

Reservations: test a change in plans

Fleksa offers reservations. Compare how each system lets staff view and manage bookings, and confirm which features your plan includes. Create a test reservation, change its party size and time, and check what staff can see afterward.

Delivery: clarify who handles fulfillment

Before choosing a system, decide whether your team or another provider would handle deliveries. Ask each vendor whether it supports your intended arrangement, including dispatch and status updates; do not assume a particular delivery service or integration is included. Walk through a sample delivery order and identify who is responsible at each handoff.

Order management: follow an exception

Fleksa offers kitchen workflows, but available functions vary by market and plan. For a restaurant comparing staff roles, ask how orders are assigned, changed and marked complete. In a demo, have one staff member enter an order and another handle a correction; check whether both can see the updated status.

AI website tools: verify control over the result

If a vendor offers AI-assisted website creation, ask what it generates, what you can edit and whether you retain access to the finished content. Give the vendor a short sample menu and check the output for accurate item names, descriptions and prices before considering it for publication.
