Room service and restaurant on one guest bill
Guests order via a QR code in the room, the order lands in the POS and everything ends up on the final invoice of the stay — automatically and without an app.
The problem: POS and PMS don't know each other
In many small hotels and B&Bs the POS and the booking system live in two separate worlds. The guest books and pays for their room in one system, but orders breakfast or drinks through a standalone POS that knows nothing about it. Two systems, two sets of records, one pile of manual work.
The result is predictable: at the end of the stay someone has to add the hospitality spend to the room bill by hand. A forgotten consumption means missed revenue; a double-entered item means an unhappy guest. Error-prone, slow and frustrating for your staff.
The core of the problem is that the two systems don't know each other. As long as the POS and the stay don't run on the same platform, you remain the link that has to bring everything together manually. That can be done better — and more simply.
One guest bill for stay, restaurant and room service
BOOQR solves this by running the stay and hospitality on the same platform. Every guest has one guest bill, and everything lands on it: the nights, breakfast, dinner in the restaurant and the bottle of wine from room service. No more loose receipts you have to reconcile later.
For the guest it feels seamless. They don't have to pay per consumption or repeat their room number every time — everything is automatically linked to their stay. At checkout they see one clear invoice showing exactly what they consumed.
For you it means less admin and less missed revenue. Because every order hangs directly off the right guest bill, nothing falls through the cracks. Closing a stay becomes a matter of one button, instead of a puzzle of loose pieces.
Ordering from the room
Room service starts with convenience for the guest. In every room hangs a QR code. The guest scans it with their phone and opens a digital menu in their browser — no app to download, no account to create. They pick what they want and order with a few taps.
That order appears directly in the BOOQR POS at the kitchen or bar. Your staff immediately sees what's needed and which room it should go to. No phone calls you mishear, no notes that get lost — a clear, digital flow from room to kitchen.
And because everything hangs off the guest bill, the order is automatically booked to the stay. The guest doesn't have to pay on the spot; it ends up on their final invoice automatically. Ordering from the room becomes as easy as adding something at home.
The BOOQR POS for hospitality
The BOOQR POS is built for the reality of a hospitality venue: fast, clear and reliable on a busy evening. Whether it's a walk-in at the bar or a room-service order from room 4, staff work in the same familiar interface.
Important: you don't have to buy expensive, closed POS hardware. The BOOQR POS runs on common Android devices such as the HP Engage and Sunmi, but also on an ordinary Android tablet. If you already have hardware, chances are you can simply keep using it.
The full capabilities — from orders and payments to kiosk mode for self-service — are on the POS & kiosk page. There you'll see how the POS fits into the broader flow of booking, access and invoicing.
Invoicing and VAT handled automatically
At the end of a stay you don't want to reach for a calculator. Because the stay and hospitality are on one guest bill, BOOQR composes the final invoice automatically. Every item appears on the right line, with the right description and date.
VAT is split correctly in the process. Nights and consumptions carry different VAT rates, and the system calculates that for you instead of you having to track it by hand. That not only saves time, but also prevents errors in your bookkeeping.
The guest receives a clean, complete invoice and you keep balanced records. How payments and invoicing work exactly — from iDEAL to the automatic invoice build-up — you can read on the payments & invoicing page.
The complete picture: lightweight PMS
Room service and restaurant on the guest bill aren't standalone tricks, but part of a bigger idea: everything a small accommodation needs daily on one lightweight platform. Booking, paying, keyless access and hospitality, without the ballast of a heavy PMS.
That integration is exactly what sets BOOQR apart. Instead of four separate systems you have to tie together, you get one coherent whole where the booking, the door, the POS and the invoice all know each other. Less manual work, fewer errors, a better guest experience.
