A fast, multi-location POS on the tablets you already own
Unlimited devices, one per-location price, no leased terminals.
Opero's register turns the tablets you already own into a full multi-location restaurant point of sale. Unlimited devices, one per-location price, embedded payments. No per-terminal fees.
Most restaurant point-of-sale systems start with a hardware quote. Opero starts with the tablets you already own. Opero's register runs on standard Android tablets (bring as many as you want) and one card reader for each register or kiosk that takes cards, bought from us. There are no per-device fees and no leased terminals to sign for.
The wedge
Opero is the Restaurant OS that runs on the tablets you already own: unlimited devices, one per-location price, no leased terminals.
What Opero's register is
Opero's register is the point of sale at the center of your Restaurant OS. It's where staff ring in orders, fire tickets to the kitchen, split table checks by item, evenly or by amount, apply coupon codes and loyalty points, and close out payments. Because it's part of one connected platform rather than a standalone register, every order it creates flows straight into your menu, inventory, CRM, and command center without exports or integrations to babysit.
- Order entry built for speed: modifiers, combos, and custom open items in a few taps
- Split a table check by item, evenly, or by amount (Opero Full-Service); counter orders are paid in full
- Discounts, comps, and refunds with clear records on every order
- Embedded payments on the card reader you buy from us, so the order and the payment are one record
- Works across all your locations under a single dashboard
How it runs on Opero's one-menu spine
Opero is built on a single menu spine: you define a menu once, then each location copies it and edits what it needs (price, availability, local items) without breaking the parent. Your POS reads from that per-location menu directly. Change a price or 86 an item, and every tablet at that location reflects it immediately. No re-keying the same menu into five different registers, and no drift between what the kitchen sees and what the POS rings up.
The same spine connects POS to recipe costing. When a server rings in a dish, the recipe behind it draws down inventory, so your food cost and stock levels stay live instead of being reconstructed at month-end.
Why BYO-tablet and per-location pricing matter
Traditional POS pricing scales with your hardware: more stations, more terminals, more monthly fees. That punishes you for growing. Opero flips the model. You bring the tablets, Opero brings the software, and you buy one card reader for each register or kiosk that takes cards from us, and you pay one flat price for that location: Opero $149 or Opero Full-Service $249 per location per month, month-to-month.
- Add a station for a Friday rush by grabbing another tablet you already own, with no new line item
- Replace a cracked screen at the electronics store, not through a hardware lease
- Budget by location, not by device count, with pricing you can predict as you scale
- No multi-year terminal contracts to unwind if you change your mind
What's included on payments
Opero includes embedded payments and one card reader for each register or kiosk that takes cards, bought from us. Every charge is auto-matched to its order, so reconciliation isn't a separate chore. Confirm current details on the pricing page.
Who Opero's register is for
Opero's register fits operators who want one system across the front of house instead of a stack of disconnected tools, and who'd rather own their tablets than lease terminals.
- Multi-location groups that need consistent menus and one dashboard across sites
- Full-service restaurants juggling tables and split checks
- Quick-service and fast-casual spots that live and die by order speed
- New openings that want to launch on hardware they can buy off the shelf
- Operators tired of per-terminal fees and multi-year hardware leases
Full-service rooms can take the order and the card at the table on handhelds you already own, paired to the card reader bought from us. This is part of Opero Full-Service, with no coursing.
Tableside on handheldsHow POS connects to the rest of the OS
The POS is one surface on a single platform, so the order it creates is the same order everyone else sees:
- Kitchen Display (KDS): tickets fire to the line the moment a check is sent
- Kiosk & QR ordering: guest-placed orders land in the same queue as server-rung ones
- Inventory & recipe costing: each sale draws down stock and updates food cost
- CRM & loyalty: checks tie to guest profiles, so loyalty and history just work
- AI command center: every transaction feeds the sales, labor, and inventory insights across all your locations
Because labor cost surfaces in the command center, you can see how sales track against staffing, grounded in real clocked hours from the built-in staff time-clock (available on Opero Full-Service and Enterprise).
A second Android tablet can mirror one register as a customer display, with a tip prompt the guest answers on their own screen.

View pricingFrequently asked questions
Do I need to buy Opero's POS hardware?
No. Opero's register runs on standard Android tablets you already own, and you can use as many as you want with no per-device fee. One card reader for each register or kiosk that takes cards, bought from us.
How does Opero charge for the POS?
One flat price per location per month (Opero $149 or Opero Full-Service $249), billed month-to-month. Pricing is per location, not per terminal or per device, so adding tablets never adds to your bill.
Can I run Opero's register across multiple locations?
Yes. Opero is multi-location by design. You manage every site from one dashboard, and each location runs its own per-location copy of the menu that it can edit without affecting the others.
Does the POS connect to my kitchen and inventory?
Yes. Orders rung in at the POS fire to the Kitchen Display instantly, draw down inventory through recipe costing, and feed the AI command center. It's all on one connected platform, with no integrations to maintain.
Are there long-term contracts?
Opero is month-to-month, and because you bring your own tablets there are no multi-year hardware leases to sign or unwind.
