# How to Choose Restaurant POS: A First-Week Pilot Checklist

Choose restaurant POS software with a controlled pilot: menu entry, kitchen handoffs, payments, Bangla printing and closing records. Record evidence, not rankings.

Choose restaurant POS software by testing the work your staff perform during a shift. A useful pilot follows the same menu, devices and order examples for every shortlisted supplier. Record what worked, what needed manual intervention and which plan was used. This Rosuii-authored checklist does not name an independently tested best vendor or promise a business result.

## Prepare a small, representative menu

Use a few real item names with Bangla and English, a size variation, an add-on and a preparation note. Include a takeaway order and, if relevant, a table order. Keep the test account separate from customer sales. Agree with the supplier how test payments, stock and reports will be isolated or reversed.

| Pilot stage | Staff exercise | Evidence to keep |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Menu setup | Enter items, prices, variations and notes | Menu version and screenshots |
| Order handoff | Send food and drinks to intended destinations | Order and ticket references |
| Counter payment | Record a permitted test payment and print | Receipt and payment reference |
| Change handling | Add an item or cancel under the test procedure | Kitchen and report outcome |
| Closing review | Match order, collection and sales records | Dated report filters and reconciliation |
| Recovery | Follow the agreed interruption procedure | What queued, what required connectivity |

## Give the cashier and kitchen user separate turns

A vendor demonstration can hide steps that an unfamiliar employee will miss. Have a cashier enter the order from the written instruction while a kitchen user confirms receipt. Check quantity, modifier and table or token at the destination. If a ticket is late, follow the agreed diagnostic process before sending it again. Repeated printing is not proof of a new order.

## Check payment and printing separately

A manual payment-method record is different from a live provider transaction. If online collection matters, agree on a supported test procedure and record the provider confirmation as well as the order state. Test the exact printer with long item names and mixed Bangla/English text. The presence of a print button does not establish reliable paper output on your device.

## Record unknowns before deciding

Use four labels: demonstrated, partly demonstrated, unavailable and unknown. Keep unknown items out of any score until the supplier provides evidence. A failed test on one setup needs diagnosis; it does not automatically establish that every installation fails. Note extra configuration, hardware, staff training and plan changes beside the result.

## Rosuii plan checks for the pilot

Core POS is on Free within its limits. KDS and inventory start on Starter; payroll and report exports start on Growth. Eligible offline cash-order queuing is separate from live kitchen updates and online payment confirmation. Check [current prices and limits](https://rosuii.com/pricing) against the planned pilot. For the broader software selection method, use the [management-software evaluation guide](https://rosuii.com/blog/best-restaurant-management-software-bangladesh).

## Make the rollout decision from the record

Before subscribing or expanding, list unresolved blockers, a named person responsible for each and the acceptance evidence required. Decide whether staff need another training session or whether a configuration change needs retesting. Keep the tested date and version with the quote. A limited pilot reduces uncertainty; it does not guarantee future uptime, profit or compatibility with untested equipment.

## FAQ

### Which restaurant POS is best in Bangladesh?

This page does not establish a universal winner. Use the same pilot and evidence requirements for each shortlisted supplier.

### Should an unknown feature receive a zero score?

No. Unknown means it has not been established. Request evidence and separate it from confirmed unavailable functionality.

### Can we test with real customer payments?

Use an isolated account and a supplier-approved test process. Agree how payments and reports are handled before the pilot.
