WinRest on Tablets
Full POS Power on a Microsoft Surface
WinRest runs natively on Microsoft Surface Go tablets — no app store, no stripped-down version. Take tableside orders, run a compact pickup counter, or manage a quick serve station with the same full-featured POS your kitchen already trusts.
Take Your POS Anywhere
WinRest on a tablet isn't a watered-down app — it's the same Windows POS your team already knows, running on portable hardware.
Tableside Ordering
Servers take orders directly at the table on a Surface Go. Items fire to the kitchen instantly over Wi-Fi — no walking back to a terminal, no handwriting errors, faster table turns.
Quick Serve & Line Busting
Deploy a Surface tablet at the counter for fast pickup and phone-in orders. Compact enough for tight spaces, powerful enough to handle rush-hour volume without slowing down.
Wireless Kitchen Printing
Tablets connect wirelessly to your existing kitchen printers and receipt printers. No cabling, no infrastructure changes — just pick up the tablet and start taking orders.
Native Windows — No App Store
WinRest runs on Windows, not iOS or Android. That means the same software, same menus, same reports on your tablet as your main terminal. No syncing issues, no feature gaps.
Pay-at-Table
Pair a tablet with a wireless payment terminal for full pay-at-table service. Split bills, apply discounts, and close checks right at the table — faster turnover, happier guests.
Pop-Ups, Patios & Events
Set up a fully functional POS station anywhere with Wi-Fi. Perfect for seasonal patios, food festivals, catering events, and temporary locations — pack it up and go.

How Businesses Use Tablet POS
From full-service restaurants to quick-serve counters, tablets bring flexibility wherever you need it.
Full-Service Restaurants
Servers carry a tablet to each table. Orders go directly to the kitchen — no trips to the terminal. Upsell prompts and modifiers appear automatically. Turn tables faster.
Quick Serve & Cafes
A Surface Go mounted at the counter takes up a fraction of the space. Handle walk-in orders, phone-in pickups, and online order management from one compact device.
Pickup & Phone Orders
Dedicate a tablet station for phone and pickup orders. Staff can take calls and punch in orders without tying up the main POS — keeping the line moving during peak hours.
