POS systems for sandwich shops, sandwich bars or pizzerias: what really works? (2026)

Why does a takeaway business need a specific till system?

A sandwich shop, sandwich bar or pizzeria has different requirements to a brasserie or restaurant. There are no tables to manage, no wines to keep track of and no bills to split. What matters is that a member of staff can enter a complex order – such as a sandwich with a specific filling and sauce combination, or a pizza with customised toppings – in just a few taps and send it correctly to the kitchen.

A POS system that isn’t tailored to this type of business causes delays at the worst possible moments. Unipage is designed for takeaway businesses in the Belgian hospitality sector and offers an interface that works the way you work: fast, clear and without unnecessary steps.

What features are essential for a sandwich shop or sandwich bar?

A sandwich shop or sandwich bar handles a high volume of orders and offers a wide variety of items. These are the features that make all the difference:

Quick product setup with variations
A sandwich is rarely just a sandwich. Which bread, which filling, which sauce, and what extras? A good POS system lets you pre-set these options for each product, so that a member of staff can add them with just one or two taps — without having to think and without making mistakes. Unipage supports this via a customisable product structure that you can set up yourself, without any technical knowledge.

Online ordering integrated into the till
More and more sandwich shops and sandwich bars are offering online ordering, either via their own webshop or an external platform. If those orders don’t automatically feed into the till system, you’ll waste time and make mistakes. Unipage integrates online orders directly into the till screen, without the need for a second device.

Pick-up management with status display
Customers coming to collect their orders want to know when it’s their turn. Unipage supports order numbers and status screens, so customers can track the progress of their order and avoid blocking the counter whilst they wait.

Daily reports by item What sold best today? Which sandwich was the most popular? How many pizzas were sold? Unipage automatically generates daily sales reports, so you can see the answers to these questions without having to count manually.

What features are essential for a pizzeria?

A pizzeria combines the speed of a takeaway with the complexity of a kitchen workflow: orders must be passed on accurately, preparation times vary, and customers expect their pizza to be ready at a specific time.

Integration with a kitchen display In a pizzeria, communication between the counter and the kitchen is crucial. Unipage supports digital kitchen displays on which orders appear automatically as soon as they are entered at the till — with no paper receipts and no risk of information being lost.

Management of pre-set and customised items A pizza with customised toppings, a half-and-half option or a combo deal with a drink included: Unipage allows you to pre-set these combinations and adjust them per order, ensuring that the kitchen always receives an accurate and complete order.

Takeaway and delivery in a single system Many pizzerias offer both takeaway and delivery. Unipage combines both order flows into a single till screen, so staff do not need to switch between systems or devices.

How does Unipage compare with other POS systems for takeaway businesses?

The difference between Unipage and its competitors lies in the combination: a fully integrated platform with Flemish telephone support based in Belgium, without the need for a different supplier for each module.

Is Unipage also suitable for new concepts such as poké bowls or sushi?

Yes. Unipage isn’t limited to any particular type of business. The system adapts to your product range, your way of working and your order flows, whether you’re running a traditional sandwich bar, a pizzeria or setting up a trendy poké bowl shop. You set the product structure, variations and prices yourself.

This also makes Unipage an attractive option for business owners launching a new venture: you start with the modules you need right now and expand as your business grows, with a self-service kiosk, digital price list or online shop.

How does a POS system help reduce waiting times in a pizzeria?
A POS system reduces waiting times in a snack bar or pizzeria by sending orders directly to the kitchen via a digital kitchen display, allowing customers to track the status of their order via a status screen and consolidating takeaway and delivery orders on a single screen. This reduces errors and speeds up the entire ordering cycle.
