THE VISION

Built like software, not like a cash register.

FuturaTap removes the clutter of legacy POS systems. We built a tool with the craft of the best apps in the world, tuned for the rhythm of a Friday at 8pm with the place packed.

Taps that count

Featured items, real-time search, and category tabs. Your server doesn't wrestle the screen — they ring up the order and move on.

Clean architecture

No buried menus, no greyed-out buttons. What your team needs right now is always one tap away.

24/7 reliability

Real-time cloud sync when there's internet. Normal operation when there isn't. Your restaurant doesn't stop because of your ISP.

Server taking an order with a tablet at a restaurant

SALES MODULE

Charge fast. Zero friction.

The customer wants to pay ten dollars in cash, five thousand colones by SINPE Móvil, and the rest by card. Without shouting to the register "how much is left?". Without a calculator. Without arguing. You charge, you give change, you close.

  • Multi-method on a single ticket

    Cash, card, transfer, SINPE Móvil, and internal credit. Combine them in any proportion within the same check — the system keeps the running total.

  • Multi-currency, no calculator

    Colones, dollars, and other currencies on the same ticket. The USD exchange rate syncs daily from Costa Rica's central bank (BCCR). Other currencies you configure yourself.

  • Split bill, untouched kitchen order

    Sub-tickets per person or per group. The kitchen never finds out about the split — they're already cooking what was ordered.

Restaurant team coordinating during service

YOUR TEAM

The right tool for each person.

Your floor staff takes orders and charges from the tablet. You open reports and configure everything from the admin panel. Two tools designed for two audiences, with no fighting over the screen.

  • Service app for the floor

    Tablet with the screen tuned for taking orders, charging, and closing the register. Built for service speed, not for reports.

  • Admin panel for you

    Separate web app for you and your management: reports, menu, permissions, branches. Open it from any device, without taking the register away from the cashier.

  • Permissions per role, per branch

    Your manager sees reports. Your cashier charges. Your server takes orders. Each role with the right access, no risks or accidents.

Lit professional kitchen with dishes in preparation

KITCHEN MODULE

Synced orders. Zero mistakes.

The jammed thermal printer, the ticket fallen behind the stove, the server who forgot to mention the modification. That's over. The kitchen sees the order on screen, in color, in real time.

  • KDS with color-coded states

    Pending in gray, Preparing in orange, Ready in green. The kitchen reads the board like a traffic light, not a poem.

  • Each dish to its station

    Margaritas to the bar. Steaks to the grill. Salads to cold prep. Without anyone routing them manually.

  • Clock on every dish

    When a dish takes longer than usual, the counter turns red. Your kitchen prioritizes without anyone shouting.

HOW IT WORKS

Three layers, one operation that doesn't stop.

Your restaurant doesn't depend on the neighborhood WiFi. The tablets talk to a server living right inside the place. When there's internet, everything backs up to the cloud. When there isn't, it keeps running.

01

Tablets

Your team takes orders, charges customers, and opens/closes the register from tablets on your local network.

02

Local Server

A mini-computer inside the restaurant stores the day's operation. It does not need the internet to run.

03

Cloud

When connectivity is available, everything syncs for reports, multi-branch, and secure off-site backup.

Saturday at 9pm, the neighborhood internet drops. Your kitchen keeps getting orders, your register keeps charging. When the signal returns, it syncs on its own.

REPORTS

Dashboards that tell you what to do.

Six views ready to open while the staff is closing the place. No spreadsheets to build, no waiting for the accountant.

Sales Overview

Revenue, average ticket, check count, and comparisons against last week or last month.

Sales by Server

Attribution by ticket, by items, or by amount. You know who's really moving the operation.

Products

Top 10, 20, or 50 — by quantity or revenue. Identify your stars and the dishes that only hang on the menu.

Hourly Heatmap

Peak hours per day of the week. Essential for scheduling staff and purchasing without guessing.

Covers (Pax)

Real headcount per day and per hour. The metric your accountant always asks for and you never have.

Revenue by Kitchen Area

How much the grill, bar, cold prep, or pastry brings in. Menu and staffing decisions with real data.

WHY SWITCH

Traditional POS vs FuturaTap.

If you've spent years fighting a POS that crashes, exports nothing, and charges you another license every time your operation grows — this is going to sound familiar.

Works without internet

Traditional POS Almost never
FuturaTap Always, by design

Multi-currency

Traditional POS Cashier converts with a calculator
FuturaTap Charge in any currency. USD exchange rate auto-synced daily from Costa Rica's central bank (BCCR)

Reports

Traditional POS A spreadsheet someone builds the next day
FuturaTap Six dashboards on tap, on any device

Updates

Traditional POS A technician, a USB stick and crossed fingers
FuturaTap Automatic and remote — no technician on-site

Multi-branch

Traditional POS One branch at a time; switching means logging out and back in
FuturaTap Open each branch in its own tab and work several at once

Hardware

Traditional POS You research, buy, and maintain it yourself
FuturaTap We provide it on rental — if something breaks, we replace it

Support

Traditional POS You call, leave a message, you wait
FuturaTap Team responds in hours, not weeks

Permissions per user

FAQ

What we get asked the most.

What happens if the internet goes down?
Nothing goes down. The tablets talk to a server living inside your restaurant. Without internet they keep taking orders, charging, and opening/closing the register normally. When the signal returns, it syncs on its own with the cloud.
Do I need to buy specific hardware?
None. We rent you the equipment — tablets and the local server — as part of the service. If something breaks, we replace it. No model research, no purchases, no hardware vendors to chase. You focus on the restaurant, we handle the hardware.
Does it work in colones and dollars?
Yes, multi-currency native. The USD exchange rate syncs daily from Costa Rica's central bank (BCCR) — no manual upkeep. For other currencies (euros, etc.) you set the rate yourself. At cash close, the report shows the breakdown by currency.
Does it integrate with Hacienda for electronic invoicing?
Not yet. It's on our roadmap and we're actively building it. For now you can keep using your current invoicing solution in parallel.
How much does it cost?
Depends on how many branches and modules you need. Email us at hola@futuratap.com and we'll put together a tailored proposal — in a 20-minute call we know what you need.
