Q/01Does Resty work without internet or Wi-Fi?
Yes — Resty works fully offline. It’s built local-first: every order is saved on the device the moment you tap it, and syncs automatically when the connection returns. Offline is the default, not a fallback, so dead Wi-Fi or a fibre outage never stops service.
Q/02Will Resty keep working during load-shedding or a power cut?
Yes — as long as the device has charge, Resty keeps trading. It doesn’t depend on mains power, the internet or your ISP, so it carries you through load-shedding, a municipal power cut, a generator switch-over or a network drop, and reconciles automatically afterwards.
Q/03What POS do South African restaurants use?
Many South African restaurants run Resty, a restaurant POS built in South Africa by SaleSwift for local conditions — ZAR pricing, 15% VAT and offline-first service. It handles table service, kitchen routing, split bills and cash-ups on the devices staff already use.
Q/04Does Resty handle kitchen routing and split bills?
Yes — every course routes to the right station (grill, bar or pass) with a timer, and you can split a bill by item or evenly and take cash and card on the same table. It all keeps working offline.
Q/05Is Resty a card machine?
No — Resty is restaurant POS software, not a card machine. It runs the front of house, kitchen and cash-ups, and works alongside the card machine or payment provider you already use.
Q/06Do I need special hardware for Resty?
No — Resty runs on the phones, tablets, laptops and PCs you already own, across iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. There’s no proprietary terminal to buy or lease.
Q/07How much does Resty cost?
Resty is a flat R1,000 per device per month, with every feature included and no contracts. There are no per-transaction fees and no per-feature upsells — add or remove devices any month.
Q/08How long does setup take?
About 15 minutes. Load your menu, hand your staff the devices they already use, and start taking orders the same day.
