Restaurant Management Software That Saves You Hours

Most restaurant owners are running three or four disconnected systems: a POS terminal like Square or Lightspeed for orders, a separate rostering tool like Deputy for staff schedules, Xero or MYOB for accounting, and maybe OpenTable or a paper diary for reservations. The result is a mess of logins, duplicate data entry, and no clear picture of whether tonight's service actually made money after labour and food costs. OneBookPlus brings daily sales tracking, table management, expense monitoring, rostering, and GST-compliant invoicing into one platform designed for Australian hospitality venues: restaurants, cafes, bars, and food trucks.

The platform works alongside your existing POS or as a standalone system. At the end of each service, log your daily sales by payment type: cash, card, and online delivery platforms like UberEats or DoorDash. OneBookPlus calculates your daily totals, breaks down GST collected, and compares against previous periods and targets automatically. Reservations flow in through your online booking page and appear on your table management dashboard, where you can seat walk-ins, mark no-shows, and track covers. Front-of-house staff see the floor plan at a glance, showing which tables are occupied, reserved, or available.

Your Daily Workflow

Picture a Friday night service. You open the dashboard at 3pm to find eight reservations booked, two from last night's waitlist confirmed with a tap. Before service, you update tonight's specials in the menu manager. During service, dine-in orders flow through and covers are tracked as guests are seated, giving you an accurate average spend per head rather than a figure distorted by split bills. Your rostered staff shifts are calculated against tonight's revenue in real time, so you know before service ends whether labour cost is within your 30% target. At close, you log daily sales (cash, card, and UberEats) in under two minutes. The dashboard shows $5,200 in revenue, 52 covers, $72 average per head, and two voided orders to follow up on Monday.

Expenses & Accounting

Supplier invoices for produce, beverages, and packaging are logged and categorised so you can see your cost-of-goods percentage in real time. Photograph the docket or drag in the PDF and the supplier, date, GST and total are read off it, so the produce run does not wait for a quiet evening to be typed up. Rent, utilities, insurance, and other overheads are tracked separately. GST is calculated on every invoice and expense. At BAS time, export a clean GST summary covering GST collected on sales, GST paid on purchases, and the net amount owing, without touching a spreadsheet. Your accountant gets a clear, reconciled set of figures instead of a folder of till receipts.

Getting Started

Sign up for free. No credit card, no POS lock-in. Add your venue details, menu items, table layout, and staff. Configure your daily sales categories (dine-in, takeaway, delivery, catering). Most restaurant owners complete setup in under fifteen minutes and start logging daily sales the same evening. The free plan covers core features for a single venue. Upgrade when you need multi-location support, advanced rostering, or detailed food-cost reporting, still far less than the combined cost of Square, Deputy, and Xero.
