The LIONWISE™system is ideal for fast casual restaurants, including counter or quick service, take-out and ice cream restaurants. The LIONWISE Fast Casual POS (Point-of-Sale) solution allows orders to be taken quickly and accurately, with any item or function to be accessed in as little as two touches of the screen.  

LionWise, LLC recognizes that each restaurant differentiates itself not only in the quality and consistency of its food, but also in how well it serves its customers and is able to adapt to unique order taking processes. LIONWISE helps you manage your fast casual restaurant business more profitably with comprehensive reporting capabilities, providing up to the minute visibility into daily sales, open checks, employee performance, and menu item and inventory consumption.

Easy to Use

The LIONWISE system provides an intuitive, easy to use interface for both management and the staff, allowing for key administrative functions such as pricing, specials and other menu changes to be performed at any POS station.  Navigation is quick and easy allowing the user to get where they need to be in two button clicks.  Staff can easily handle split check and item sharing requests with a simple “highlight-and-tap” feature.   The ability within the LIONWISE system to quickly and easily correct misapplied payments, move checks to a different table and handle employee time card adjustments help keep your business running smoothly.  As new staff members come on board, a real-time training mode allows for hands-on training in a simulated environment without affecting the live business reporting.

Whether you are a small independent fast casual restaurant, or a multi-unit chain, having information to make better, faster decisions is critical to success. The LIONWISE system offers a comprehensive suite of reports that can be run and monitored from any station, not just the back office.
