About NorthStar POS

A point-of-sale (POS) system for restaurants, supporting iPad and Windows devices. It offers omnichannel ordering, inventory tracking, secure payment processing, and loyalty programs. The platform is cloud-based and provides 24/7 support.

NorthStar POS is a comprehensive, cloud-based point-of-sale system designed for various restaurant types, including fast-casual, table service, and quick service. It operates on both iPad and Windows devices, offering flexibility in hardware. The platform consolidates five ordering modes—POS, tableside, kiosk, web, and mobile—into a single system to streamline operations. Key features include real-time sales and inventory tracking, integrated payment processing with processor choice, labor management, and kitchen display system integration. The system also supports customer engagement through loyalty programs and digital signage. While the company offers 24/7 help desk support, specific pricing details are not publicly available and require a demo request. Integrations with third-party services like Lunchbox and Olo are available to extend functionality.
