Switching to Slotivo
Replace your POS with Slotivo
What the Slotivo till does, what it replaces, what it doesn't do yet, and how to switch without disrupting service.
7 min readUpdated 21 October 2026
Most independent restaurants pay for an EPOS licence, a booking platform and often a ticket printer, and none of them talk to each other. The Slotivo till is built into the same app as your bookings, so the bill is already on the right table and any deposit is already on the bill.
What the till does
- Colour-coded menu tiles by category, one-tap items and search, in a three-pane layout for iPad or desktop.
- Item options with prices, so upsells such as "Large +1.50" are always charged.
- Kitchen notes with ready-made shortcuts such as "No fries".
- Bills on floor-plan tables, or on free text like "Bar 2".
- A table map showing each table's spend, how long it's been open, and whether a course is held or items are unsent.
- A payment pad for card, cash and deposits, with quick cash notes and change due.
- Split bills evenly or by item, with a fair share of discount, service and tip.
- Printable and email receipts with the VAT breakdown.
- Manager-only discounts, service charge, voids and refunds, all in the audit trail.
Category tiles, the menu grid and an open bill for Table 4 with a held main course.

What it doesn't do yet
How to switch
- 1
Start with bookings on the free plan
Move your bookings over first. Your floor plan, guests and reports are set up before the till goes anywhere near service.
- 2
Add the till and build the menu
Upgrade to Reservations + Till from the Till menu in the app. Add categories, prices, VAT rates and options.
- 3
Run a quiet service in parallel
Pick a quiet lunch, ring orders into Slotivo alongside your old till, and check the kitchen screen and totals line up.
- 4
Switch over
Once the team is happy, run service on Slotivo and cancel the old licence at the end of its term.
