Every Selflane feature

Add a charge automatically to every qualifying order — a percentage such as a service fee, or a fixed amount such as a to-go utensil fee.

When the phone rings, the POS iPad shows the caller's number and caller ID name. One tap puts the caller on a new pick-up order and attaches their loyalty membership.

• Caller ID unit from CallerID.com on the phone line, on the same network as the iPad

Take card payments on the POS with a PAX terminal, a Stripe reader, a MagTek reader, or Tap to Pay on iPhone with no reader. Each iPad picks its own card device in Payment Settings.

• PAX card terminal
• Stripe card reader
• MagTek card reader

Decide how cash is handled: servers keep cash and settle at clock-out, or cash goes in the drawer and card tips are paid out of it — plus the starting float and drawer counts.

Review cash pay-ins and pay-outs, each drawer's expected versus counted cash (over or short), and past drawer sessions.

More › Display Hub turns a spare iPad running the Selflane POS app into a guest-facing screen beside the register: a customer-facing display for the order, tip and signature, a loyalty sign-up screen, or a drive-thru display for a second staff member.

Ready-made discounts staff can apply on the POS — a percentage or a fixed amount — optionally limited to certain days and hours, and percentage vouchers to certain courses.

Write how each dish is made — ingredients, method and a photo — and staff can open it from a recipe button on the POS.

Ring up a dine-in or pickup order from your computer: pick a time, add items with their options and notes, and place it.

Lay out your dining rooms: add tables with seat counts, drag them into place, and draw walls, entrances, restrooms and labels.

The Selflane POS runs on any iPad or iPhone that can update to iOS / iPadOS 16 or later. It's the software version that matters, not the screen size, so an iPad mini, a 10-inch iPad and a 13-inch iPad Pro all work.

• iPad or iPhone on iOS / iPadOS 16 or later

Reply to guests' chats about their online orders under More › Guest Chats. From any order you can also text a receipt or an order-ready notice, or email a receipt.

The Orders tab lists the day's open and closed orders from the register, online, kiosk and delivery apps. Open any order to print, add items, take payment, or edit, void, cancel or reopen it.

See every order for a day, filter and search them, and open any order to refund, cancel, close or reopen it from the back office.

Choose how the POS works day to day: business-day start, clock-in rules, order flow, quick-service mode, to-go types, gift certificate types, reports and the waitlist.

Each POS iPad has its own list of printers under More › Printers, choosing which printer handles its receipts and which handle kitchen, bar, label and expo tickets. You can copy the list from another iPad and check or clear the print queue.

• Epson or Star receipt or kitchen printer (Ethernet or Bluetooth)
• Cash drawer connected to the receipt printer (optional)

After editing the menu online, press Publish to POS so every open register reloads the saved menu right away.

Give staff a fast grid of add-ons on the POS — prefixes like No, Add, Extra combined with groups like proteins, sauces or toppings — without building a modifier for every dish.

Control what prints on customer receipts, expo tickets and kitchen tickets — copies, layout, font size, languages, logos and messages.

The Seating tab shows your floor plan with each table's status, plus a list of seated parties, reservations, online bookings and the waitlist, so hosts and servers can seat guests and open their orders from one place.

Each POS iPad has its own settings under More › Settings: what it prints, how it takes orders and tips, its language, sounds, register station, lock screen and delivery fee. Business-wide POS rules are set in the back office instead.

Discounts that apply automatically on chosen days and hours — a fixed price, a dollar amount off or a percentage off — for selected dishes, courses or whole menus.

Split an open in-store check evenly, by item or seat, or by dollar amount, then pay each check on its own. Merge checks back together, move part of a table to its own order, or combine two tables' orders.

Ring up dine-in, pick-up and delivery orders (and drive-thru when it's on) from the Make Order tab: choose a table or a pickup time, add items with their modifiers, seats and hold times, attach the customer or loyalty member, then send it to the kitchen.

Set up the sales taxes on your orders, including tax-inclusive pricing, taxes that apply only to certain courses or order types, and rate changes scheduled for a future date.

Set the reasons staff pick when they cancel an order or void an item on the POS, and whether they can type their own or must add a note.

Offset card fees by giving cash payers a discount or adding a charge for card payments — dual pricing, true cash discount, surcharge, service fee, convenience fee or non-cash adjustment.

Choose which payment types the POS accepts — card, external card terminal, check, gift certificate, QR pay at the table and your own custom methods — and set payment safeguards.

Set tip suggestions guests see, add automatic gratuity for large parties, and split tips between servers and the kitchen.

Each kitchen screen can show only the items for its print targets (Kitchen, Kitchen 2–4 under your own names, Bar, Label), only certain order types, or only orders rung in at certain POS stations — so grill, fryer and expo each see their own — and it can also list what other stations still owe on the same order.

New orders reach every kitchen screen over a live connection within about a second — including Android screens that can't get push notifications — and the screen falls back to checking every 15 seconds if that connection drops.

A packing screen in the same Displays app: it shows what goes in the bag for each order, flags what the kitchen has finished, and lets staff tick items off or Pack All; it can also clear bagged items from the kitchen screen.

Kitchen screens that show every order — in-store, online, QR code, kiosk and delivery apps — live, color-coded by order type, with item timers, Order Up, undo, a prep list of what's still to cook, and a separate bagging screen.

• Essential and up
• Add-on: Displays add-on, $20/location/month, on the POS plan; included from Essential
• iPad (iPadOS 15.1 or later)
• Android tablet (Android 7.0 or later)
• Sunmi K2 15.6" kitchen display ($699.99, sold by Selflane)

Guests order and pay on a self-service screen running the Selflane Hub app. Paid orders go straight to your POS and kitchen screens, and the kiosk prints the guest's receipt with a pickup number.

• Premium and up
• Add-on: Kiosk add-on on other plans: $60/month per business (US), CA$80 in Canada
• iPad or iPhone (iOS 16.4 or later), or Android 10+ device (incl. SUNMI kiosks)
• Stripe Bluetooth card reader (e.g. Stripe Reader M2)
• Epson or Star receipt printer on your network

Upload the menu you already have — photos, a PDF, a CSV or a spreadsheet — and get a draft of menus, sections, dishes, descriptions and prices to review. Pick which dishes to add; nothing changes until you apply.

Bundle dishes into a combo with two or more groups (e.g. a burger, a side, a drink) and set how each pick is priced.

Set each dish's price, charge a different price online or on third-party apps, and change many prices at once.

Generate a printable PDF of your menu, grouped by menu and course, with descriptions and any special pricing.

Type a change like "add an apple juice to Beverages, $3.50" or "86 the House Red" and review exactly what will change before it applies. Proofread finds typos and writes missing dish descriptions for you to accept one by one.

Keep a list of ingredients with a unit and price, and attach recipe quantities to dishes so you can see how much of each ingredient your sales used. This tracks usage, not stock counts.

Build your menu in three levels — menus (Food, Drinks, Happy Hour), courses (Appetizers, Desserts) and dishes — choose where each one is offered: in store, online or on third-party apps, and set aside catering menus for catering orders.

Add option groups to dishes — sizes, sides, toppings, cooking temperature — with prices, required or optional picks, and min/max limits.

Mark a whole menu, a course, a dish, a combo or a single modifier choice as run out (86'd), and set a daily count for a dish that warns POS staff once it's reached.

Block specific customers by email or phone, with a reason, so they can't order online or book with your business. Remove a block at any time.

Set your regular weekly hours and override them for holidays or events, so customers always know when you're open and when they can order.

Take catering orders online from a dedicated catering page, with a minimum order amount and a required lead time.

Pickup and delivery orders taken and paid on your own domain, with no commission. Card processing 3.4% + 30¢.

Offer delivery on your online orders using your own drivers: you set the delivery fee, minimum order, delivery area and lead time.

Cap how many online orders and items you accept in each hour of each day, so a rush doesn't overload the kitchen.

Deliver orders placed through Selflane without your own drivers: a DoorDash Drive or Uber Direct courier picks up and delivers.

Create discount coupons for online orders: a percentage or dollar amount off, a minimum purchase, how many can be claimed, an expiry, and optionally first orders only or set days and hours.

Control when online orders come in: set your prep time, start taking orders a little after opening, pause online orders for a while, or close the business temporarily.

Guests scan a QR code at their table or counter and order from their phone. Print one code per table, or one general code for the whole restaurant.

• Essential and up

Set a recurring percentage off online orders on chosen days of the week, for the whole menu or only selected categories or dishes, with an optional end date.

Turn pages on or off — catering, our story, events, hiring, private events, contact — and edit sections in place: hero image, carousel or video, featured dishes, reviews, rewards, FAQ.

When Selflane hosts your domain, the owner can set up Google Workspace email records in Back Office. Microsoft 365, Amazon WorkMail or forwarding go through Support. The mailboxes come from your email provider, not Selflane.

Pick reviews from your Google listing to show on your site; they become your own editable copies.

Keep your current website and add an ordering-only storefront on a subdomain that links back home.

List articles and reviews written about your restaurant on your website's news page, each with the outlet, date, a short write-up, a picture and a link to the article.

Feature your best Instagram, TikTok and Facebook posts on your website by pasting each post's link, with an optional caption.

Ask for a website and a Selflane rep starts it; we register a new domain or connect yours, build the site, and you follow progress — Domain registered → Building → DNS connected → Published.

Turn ordering off and show a display-only menu in one of four styles, with or without prices and photos.

Choose one of 12 preset palettes or your own brand color, and a classic or centered-logo header. Fonts and section order are fixed.

We register a new domain for you, or connect one you own — the whole domain, or just order.yourdomain.com.

A full website on your own domain — home, menu, online ordering, reservations, gift cards, rewards and content pages — in your colors, hosted by Selflane.

On request alongside your website: an iPhone and Android ordering app under your restaurant's name, logo and colors, published under your own developer accounts. Selflane builds and submits it; you open the store accounts and supply your copy.

• Beta

Connect your Google Business Profile in the Back Office to update your description, hours, special hours, website and phone on Google, post a closing-early notice for today, and read and reply to Google reviews.

• Add-on: 7shifts integration: $60/month per location, on any plan

Orders from DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and other marketplaces arrive on your Selflane POS and kitchen screens through StreamOrder, so you stop juggling a tablet per app.

• Add-on: StreamOrder integration: $99/month per location

Let guests book online from your own booking page. You decide what can be booked, how many guests and tables, which times, and your refund policy.

• Power and up

See booked tables and guest counts for each month, add or edit bookings yourself, and cancel with a refund or give a partial refund.

Run your own member program: guests sign up, earn as they spend, and redeem rewards. The dashboard shows member sign-ups and points earned and redeemed over the last 30 days and lifetime.

• Essential and up
• Add-on: Basic Loyalty add-on: $30/month per location below Essential. Member email campaigns need Advanced Loyalty: included from Power, otherwise $120/month per location.

Set what members can redeem their points for: reward items (for example a free drink for 20 points, with a picture) and dollar-off vouchers (for example $5 off for 100 points).

Send members automatic emails on moments that matter, such as joining, birthdays, a visit or spend milestone, points about to expire, or not having visited in a while, plus one-time or yearly scheduled sends.

• Power and up
• Add-on: Advanced Loyalty add-on: $120/month per location below the Power plan.

See every loyalty member with their balance, visits or orders, and last visit; add, edit, search and remove members, and merge duplicates.

Choose whether members earn points per dollar to redeem for rewards, or collect visits toward a reward such as $10 off after 10 visits. Both are always tracked, so you can switch at any time.

Turn your eGift card program on or off, offer a discount on eGift purchases, sell printed Selflane gift cards on the POS, look up any card's balance, and review cards sold.

Read the star ratings and reviews guests leave on Selflane, reply to them, and open the order each review came from. Any written feedback recorded for your business shows alongside, with an email link when the guest left an address.

Create an event, sell tickets online, and track the sales. Each event gets its own public page, a countdown page and a QR code to share.

One page with all your public Selflane links — online store, catering, table booking, loyalty program and waitlist — plus ready-made ways to promote them.

Write task checklists for each role; staff see them on the POS when they clock out, so closing duties get done before they leave.

Let staff take unpaid meal breaks on the POS, with a minimum break length and a minimum time worked before a break.

For any pay period, see each employee's regular and overtime hours and pay by week and role, with card and cash tips, then download it for your payroll provider or accountant. Selflane does not pay your staff.

Put an employee on a fixed weekly, monthly or yearly salary so their pay counts toward daily labor cost, even on days they don't clock in.

Set up departments and job roles, choose which roles have manager permission, and pick which POS actions need a manager.

Build a repeating weekly schedule: give each employee a role, work days and shift times, and see the week's grid with hours per person.

See every clock-in by day or by week, fix or add timecards, and track labor cost against net sales.

Set rules for how card tips are shared among roles — tip-outs or a tip pool — and see the penny-level split per day. It's a report; no money is moved.

Add and manage employees in one place: their name on receipts, POS passcode, roles and hourly wage at each location, and whether they are active.

A full sales report for a day or a date range: net sales, tax, tips, fees, payments, service charges, taxes, sales by platform and order type, and sales per server, with PDF and CSV export.

Record expenses by month with a date, source, category breakdown and note, edit or delete them, and download the list as PDF or CSV.

See today's sales so far, hour by hour, next to an earlier day you pick, plus the last seven days' sales and payroll against the seven days before.

Monthly or weekly sales totals for a year, and item-level reports for a month or date range: items by P&L group and course, modifiers, ingredients used, discounts and discounted items.

Pick any date range up to a year and see total sales, orders and net sales by day, a labor report against those sales, and a product mix report.

For a year, see net sales minus your recorded expenses and payroll, by month or by 13 four-week periods, with guest traffic and a PDF/CSV download.

For any day, see every action taken on orders and a summary of cancels and item voids by reason and by server, with PDF and CSV export.

Decide who can manage your business online: add people by email as owner, manager, POS or a custom role, and remove them when they leave.

Search for your business or its street address on Google and the name, address, phone, website, hours, place type and price level fill in where Google has them. Three steps — find, confirm, hours — then the business is created.

Right after you create a business, a few short questions — how you serve or sell, what you want to run on Selflane, and roughly how big you are — tell us which setup steps apply to you and what to follow up on.

• Beta

Your Selflane rep or sales partner can build a test store at your real address with your menu and settings. It stays off every public listing, and when you sign it becomes your real store — same link, menu and POS setup, nothing to redo.
