Trusted by Restaurants Across East Africa
From single-outlet cafes to multi-branch chains, Moneta Pay POS powers restaurants that serve thousands of customers every day.
"We've been running Moneta Pay POS for over 10 years now. The wait staff analytics alone have helped us cut idle time by 30%. We can see exactly who's performing and who needs support. The system just works — even when our internet drops."
"During our lunch rush on Tom Mboya, speed is everything. Our cashiers place orders in seconds using keyboard shortcuts. The M-PESA reconciliation saves us hours every week — we used to match payments manually."
"Managing three branches used to mean driving between locations. Now I check sales, expenses, and staff performance from my phone. The void audit trail gives us complete accountability."
"As a specialized concept under the Olive brand, we needed a POS that could handle our unique menu while keeping the same reporting standards across all locations. Moneta Pay does exactly that — one system, consistent data, easy to train new staff."
"The kitchen ticket routing is flawless. Orders go to the right station every time. And the expense tracking helps us monitor our food costs daily — we can spot price changes from suppliers immediately."
Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware do I need?
Moneta Pay POS works on any Windows or Linux PC. No special hardware required. We support standard ESC/POS thermal printers over TCP/IP for receipts and kitchen tickets.
What payment methods do you accept?
Pay for your licence with credit/debit card or M-PESA. Card payments support auto-renewing subscriptions so your licence never lapses. M-PESA payments are one-time per billing period.
Do you support tax and fiscal compliance?
Yes. Full fiscal compliance for Kenya (KRA eTIMS), Zambia (ZRA), Nigeria (FIRS), and UAE (FTA). Invoices are auto-submitted and receipts digitally signed in real-time. Our modular tax engine can be configured to match any jurisdiction's requirements.
Can I manage my restaurant remotely?
Yes. The Remote Access VPN add-on creates a secure WireGuard tunnel to your POS. Monitor sales, manage menus, check reports, and troubleshoot from your phone, laptop, or tablet — anywhere in the world.
What happens when my licence expires?
We send renewal reminders 7 days and 1 day before your licence expires. After expiry, you get a 7-day grace period to renew.

Card subscriptions auto-renew so you never have to worry.

Moneta Pay POS is designed to work offline. Orders, payments, and printing continue without interruption. Data syncs automatically when your connection is restored. Optional managed backup provides nightly S3 disaster recovery.
Can I manage multiple branches?
Yes. The Enterprise plan supports multi-branch management with centralized licensing, per-branch data isolation, and cross-branch reporting. Access all your dashboards remotely via secure VPN connectivity.
