Weight-based pricing that calculates brisket by the pound at the register. Automatic sold-out tracking that 86's the pulled pork the moment it runs out. Smoker station KDS routing that keeps pit crews and line cooks in sync. Catering workflows for 50-person party orders. And in-house delivery that keeps your margins — not DoorDash's.
BBQ is not like other restaurants. You sell out of meats, price by the pound, run massive catering orders, and lose margins to third-party delivery.
Brisket at $24.99/lb, ribs at $18.99/lb, burnt ends at $27.99/lb. Most POS systems are built for fixed-price menu items. When you sell by weight, cashiers manually calculate prices on a calculator and punch in custom amounts — creating errors, slowing lines, and losing money on every miscalculation. A $0.50 undercharge on 100 orders a day costs $18,000 a year.
Your brisket runs out at 1 PM but the online ordering site still shows it available until someone remembers to update it. Customers order, wait 30 minutes, then get a call saying their order cannot be fulfilled. That is a lost customer and a 1-star review. Multiply this across pulled pork, ribs, and sausage — you need real-time sold-out tracking across every channel.
A $60 BBQ family meal through DoorDash costs you $9-$15 in commission. BBQ already has tight margins because of the 12-16 hour cook times and expensive wood. Losing 15-25% on delivery orders turns your highest-revenue channel into a break-even proposition. You need delivery without the commission drain.
A 75-person corporate lunch order comes in for Friday alongside your regular dine-in rush. Most POS systems treat catering like a regular order — no advance scheduling, no deposit tracking, no separate prep workflow. The result: kitchen chaos, delayed dine-in orders, and stressed staff trying to plate 75 meals while the lunch line wraps around the building.
Built for the unique demands of slow-smoked food served fast.
Connect a scale directly to your POS. Weigh brisket, ribs, or pulled pork and the price calculates automatically at your per-pound rate. No manual math, no cashier errors, no revenue leakage. Works for dine-in, takeout, and online ordering.
Scale IntegrationSet batch quantities for each meat when the smoker comes off. As orders sell, counts decrease in real time. When brisket hits zero, it is automatically removed from the POS, online ordering, kiosks, and digital menu boards simultaneously. No manual updates, no overselling.
Real-Time SyncRoute orders to the right station — smoker prep, sides line, desserts, expo. Pit crews see only their items. Line cooks see only theirs. Color-coded timing ensures brisket plates and sides arrive at the window together. No shouting across the kitchen.
Station RoutingAccept catering orders with party-size portions, advance scheduling, deposit collection, and delivery coordination. Catering orders appear on a separate KDS queue so they do not disrupt dine-in flow. Track multiple catering orders for the same day without kitchen chaos.
Advance SchedulingIn-house delivery at $2 flat fee + $6.99 per 5 miles. A $60 BBQ family meal delivery costs you $2 instead of $9-$15 with DoorDash. Keep your margins on every delivery order. Real-time driver tracking for customers.
$2 Flat FeeChoose any payment processor. BBQ restaurants processing $400,000+ per year save $3,000-$5,000 annually by negotiating their own rate instead of being locked into Toast or Square's fixed pricing. Keep 100% of your processing revenue.

Set your starting batch quantity when the smoker comes off — for example, 80 pounds of brisket. As orders come in, the count decreases in real time. When it hits zero, the item is automatically 86'd across the POS, online ordering, self-service kiosks, and digital menu boards simultaneously. No more selling brisket that ran out an hour ago.
