Hospitality

Every outlet, one ledger.

A restaurant, a bar, and a front desk usually run three separate tills. Centy posts all three to one ledger, with cost-of-sales tracked down to the recipe.

Make every outlet your competitive edge.

Hotels, restaurants, and lodges run multiple revenue points — restaurant, bar, rooms, sometimes a spa or events space — each often on its own till with its own cash-up process. Food and beverage cost-of-sales gets estimated rather than tracked against actual recipe usage, so shrinkage at the bar is rarely caught until stock takes fall short.

Guests expect one record across every outlet

Restaurant, bar, and front desk should feel like one operation — not three tills that never talk to each other.

Operators need cost-of-sales to catch shrinkage early

Recipe-level cost-of-sales should flag shrinkage in real time, not at the next physical stock take.

Built for how hospitality actually runs.

Centy runs every outlet's POS against one ledger, tracks cost-of-sales at the recipe level so bar and kitchen usage is visible in real time, and pays service charge and tip pools out through payroll instead of a side process.

Multi-outlet POS, one ledger

Restaurant, bar, and front desk all post to the same ledger for one consolidated day's revenue.

Recipe-level cost-of-sales

Food and beverage cost is tracked against actual recipe usage, catching shrinkage in real time.

Tips through payroll

Service charge pools are split and paid out through payroll, with statutory deductions applied.

How it works

One operational record from the first step to close — not three tools reconciled at month-end.

  1. Order rings up

    A restaurant, bar, or front desk sale posts to one ledger, not a till of its own.

  2. Stock moves

    Recipe-level usage tracks against the sale as it happens, not an end-of-week estimate.

  3. Payment reconciles

    Mobile money and card payments are matched per outlet, per shift.

  4. Staff get paid

    Service charge and tip pools are split and paid out through payroll.
