Questions about using the system
Buffet counter

Don’t see your workflow? We’ll show it in a demo

Does a buffet need a kitchen display?

If the buffet sells only prepared products, KDS may be unnecessary. We select the setup for your workflow: POS and accounting, with a kitchen display when orders are prepared separately.

How do I start managing inventory?

Start with your product range, units of measure and opening stock. Separate purchased goods from your own products. Before going live, check a test sale and stock deduction.

How much does migration to ROSTA cost?

Migration to ROSTA is free. Before switching, we’ll agree on the data to transfer and check export options in your current system. Licences and setup are charged separately; free migration does not mean free use of the software.
