For accountants
A restaurant POS with a real ledger behind it.
Most restaurant software exports a file and stops. OrderNest posts every sale, purchase, payment and payroll run as a journal entry, so the trial balance you open on the first of the month is already balanced.

Journals balancedYes
Not shipped yet: e-invoicing (IRN) and GSTR-1 export. On the 2027 roadmap; tell us if a client needs it sooner.
Audit-grade by construction
Every number has a journal line behind it.
Sales cannot be deleted from a report without a reversing entry in the ledger. That is the difference between a POS that exports and a system that keeps books.
