Restaurant POS vs Excel: When Should You Upgrade?

Excel is a good notebook for an owner who types the day in at night. It is a bad POS because it is not in the waiter's hand at 8pm.

Excel

• Flexible columns, no menu enforcement.
• Easy to overwrite.
• Useful as a later export, not as the bill.

A live ticket

• SpoonCub holds the order while it is open.
• Owner or Manager can export history to CSV when they want a sheet.
• The sheet is a copy, not the service.

Which one to run

Upgrade when staff are texting you orders to paste into a workbook. Keep Excel for the accountant's summary if you like it.
