The QSR Advantage

Why TimeWorks for
Fast Food?

Volume, speed and uptime. The three non-negotiables of quick service, and the three things TimeWorks is engineered around.

01

Handle 500+ transactions/day without slowdowns

Microsoft SQL Server backbone means the database never becomes the bottleneck, even during lunch and dinner peaks across multiple concurrent tills.

02

KDS integration eliminates handwritten tickets

Orders appear on kitchen screens the moment they are placed. No paper, no shouting, no illegible handwriting. Just a clear, timed queue that staff can bump as each item is completed.

03

Digital menu boards sync from head office instantly

A price change or new promotion goes live across every screen at every store the moment you publish it. No phone calls to managers, no reprinting, no compliance delays.

04

Event POS rental for pop-up locations and festivals

Need a fully configured terminal for a market, stadium kiosk or seasonal pop-up? Our rental fleet runs the same QSR-ready software with no long-term commitment required.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Fast Food POS: FAQ

Answers to the questions QSR operators ask most.

Yes. TimeWorks is built on a Microsoft SQL backend engineered for high-throughput environments. A single terminal can process 500+ transactions per day without performance degradation, and the system supports multiple concurrent terminals sharing a central database.
Yes. Our Kitchen Display System (KDS) integration routes orders in real time from the POS to kitchen bump screens. Orders are colour-coded by prep stage and time elapsed, eliminating handwritten dockets and reducing errors at the pass.
The combo builder groups items into meal deals with a single button press at the POS. Staff select a base item and the system automatically prompts for sides, drinks and modifiers. Upsell prompts are configurable, for example, suggesting a larger drink size, and all combos are centrally managed from head office.
Yes. Our centralised reporting dashboard gives franchise operators a consolidated view across all stores, including per-store P&L, product mix analysis and staff performance. Menu updates, pricing changes and promotions can be pushed from head office to every location simultaneously.
