Serious technology with an independent spirit.
Powerful hospitality technology built for independent bars and restaurants — without the enterprise price tag. Robust and reliable, akru keeps you open through your busiest service, eliminating disruption and lost sales. No contract lock-ins, no multi-location fees.
Everything you need to sell, track, and stay in control.
See exactly where your money goes
Access live reporting on sales, covers and product performance in one place, remotely. Spot what's working and what isn't before it shows up as a margin problem.
Every discount, fully accounted for
Set permission levels for every member of staff. Manage comps and discounts with a full audit trail. Know exactly what's happening at the register, even when you're not there.
New locations up and running in under an hour
Download the app, log in, and you're selling. New locations can be taking orders in under an hour — no technician visit, no installation day.
Two ways to pay. Both built to save you money.
Buy your hardware up front for our lowest processing rate, or roll the hardware into a slightly higher rate — either way, no POS fees, no multi-location fees, and no contract lock-in. Just a cost that scales with your business, so you only pay when your customers do.
Estimates based on a $50 average order value. Amex and corporate cards are charged at 3.5% + 10¢ per transaction. Your actual fees may vary.
Perfect for independent operators
For our 60th anniversary, we did about $7,500–$8,000 across the afternoon and evening. Everything just worked. No one was calling me, no one was panicking, there were no issues.

akru is perfect for us because it's so simple. It's been very easy to pass the information to staff, and they picked it up quickly.

What akru POS does for your business
Unlimited users, products & menus
Create as many products and menus as you need. Update them from your phone between services and the change is live next time someone opens the register.
Offers & promotions by time or day
Set deals and promotions based on items, time, or day of the week. Happy hour runs itself.
Pickup menu & functionality
Take pickup orders straight through your own system, not a third-party app. Create online pickup menus and watch the orders roll in.
Real-time floor plan management
Move tables, merge covers, reseat guests in a couple of taps. Every device sees the same floor plan, so no one's running food to a table that's just been split.
Staff tips & service charge
Set service charges and tips to calculate automatically, kept separate from your net sales. The team gets what they're owed and the books stay clean.
Allergen advice
Allergen details are visible to your staff and your guests, built into every order flow. It's part of the order, not a separate system to remember.
Multiple locations
Running more than one site? Manage them all from the same account, at no extra cost.
You're just an install away from going live
Already have the tech? akru POS runs on any Android device on version 13 or above. Starting from scratch or upgrading your current setup? We'll set you up with robust hardware built to handle the heavy demands of a busy hospitality venue.
