About Abacus Co
What is Abacus Co?
Abacus Co is a cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) system designed for the hospitality industry. It helps restaurants, cafes, and multi-site businesses manage sales, payments, staff, and online ordering from one platform. The system works offline, integrates with payment devices, and supports partners like UberEats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Menulog. It's now part of Nomni, serving over 35,000 customers.
What problem does it solve?
Hospitality businesses often juggle multiple tools for orders, payments, and staff management, which leads to errors and lost time. Abacus Co streamlines operations by connecting in-store POS with online ordering and delivery partners. This reduces manual entry, speeds up service, and helps owners manage pricing and staff remotely.
Who is it for?
Abacus Co is ideal for small restaurants, multi-site chains, and large enterprises in Australia. It's best for food businesses that want a unified system for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery. It may not be suitable for businesses outside hospitality or those not needing a dedicated POS system.
Real use cases
Use Abacus Co to run a cafe: take orders at the counter, accept QR code payments, and receive delivery orders from UberEats directly into the POS. For a franchise, adjust prices across all locations from a cloud dashboard. The self-ordering kiosk can reduce labor costs and increase average order value.
