Getting started

Welcome to Anywhere POS

What Anywhere POS does and how the admin dashboard is organised.

Anywhere POS is an all-in-one platform for hospitality and bookable venues. From one account you can:

  • Sell at the counter with a staff point of sale, complete with tabs, tables, tills, and card readers.
  • Let customers serve themselves on a self-service kiosk or by scanning a QR code at their table.
  • Take bookings for tickets, timed sessions (lanes, courts, rooms), and multi-day passes — and sell them right at the counter.
  • Run memberships, loyalty, and gift cards so regulars keep coming back.
  • Manage multiple locations under one company, each with its own menus, devices, and reports.

A quick tour of the admin dashboard

When you sign in you land in the admin dashboard. The sidebar is split into two levels:

Company level

Your company name sits at the top of the sidebar. Settings that apply to your whole business live under Settings (the gear at the bottom of the sidebar):

  • Organisation — business name, currency, tax rate, contact details.
  • Branding — logo, colours, and themes used across your apps and receipts.
  • Users & roles — invite staff and set what they can do, including POS PINs.
  • Payments — your Stripe connection and card reader pool.
  • Integrations — kitchen displays, email, SMS, custom domains, API access.
  • Loyalty, Media library, Documents, Accounting, and the Audit log.

Location level

Just below the company name you'll see a location picker. Everything in the main menu is scoped to the location you've selected:

  • Dashboard — today's sales at a glance.
  • Orders — every order, with details, edits, and refunds.
  • Bookings and Resources — your booking calendar and the things people book (lanes, tables, rooms).
  • Products — items, modifier lists, categories and tags, availability, and bulk import.
  • Discounts, Price rules, and Gift cards.
  • Members — membership holders at this location.
  • Apps — the kiosk, QR ordering, and POS experiences your customers and staff use.
  • Media and Reports.

Each location also has its own settings (under Settings with that location selected): Location details, Hours, Devices, Checkout, and an audit log.

If you run more than one venue, use the location picker to switch — or choose + Add location to set up a new site. See Working with locations.

Where to go next

  1. Work through the first-hour setup checklist — it mirrors the guided setup wizard you see when you first sign up.
  2. Add your menu in Products & modifiers, or import it in bulk.
  3. Pair your hardware: a staff POS, a self-service kiosk, or QR table ordering.
  4. Make it yours with branding and the app builder.
  5. If you take bookings, start with the bookings overview.
