Restaurants and grocers across California
California has more restaurants than any other state, from Los Angeles and San Diego to the Bay Area and the Central Valley. Taquerias, dim sum houses, Korean barbecue and Asian and Latin markets all depend on regulars, and delivery-app commissions take a big share of every order.
Your own ordering website takes pickup and delivery orders, paid online, straight to your ScomsPOS. Every customer joins a list you own for loyalty points and SMS and email offers.
- Pickup & delivery
- Orders on your POS
- Loyalty & gift cards
- SMS & email marketing

How California taxes restaurant food
California generally exempts cold food sold to go and grocery staples, while hot prepared food and food eaten at your restaurant are taxable.
ScomsPOS sets tax per item, so a mixed order is taxed the same way on your website and at the till. This is a general summary, not tax advice: rates and rules change, so check with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
- Tax set per item
- Same rules online & in store
- Prepared food vs groceries
- Sales posted to your reports
