Management
Less time closing, every night
End-of-day takes minutes instead of half an hour; guided, consistent, and the same process in every store.
The system that makes every store run the best way
Store Management
Give every store manager the tools to run a tight shift. Store Management allows control over operations, staffing, stock, and reporting in one place. So your stores run consistently, whether you’re watching or not.
- Configurable to your unique workflows
- AI-powered staff and stock forecasting
- Automated reporting on KPIs that matter to you
Operational configuration & hardware control
Configure how your store operates, down to the smallest detail.
From receipt printing rules and cash drawer behavior to ETA settings, sound notifications, and printer routing, allow managers to define how the POS behaves in daily service.
- Define what prints, where, and when
- Configure receipt types and trigger moments
- Manage cash drawer and terminal behavior
- Set ETA logic and notification preferences
- Adjust unique operational settings per store
- Enable/disable promotions, and much more.
Staff & shift management
HR and scheduling without a separate system
Manage employee profiles, vacations, and shift schedules in one place. Assign roles with permissions tied directly to POS access, controlling what each employee can see and do, automatically enforced every shift.
Labor costs you can act on in real time
Clock-in and clock-out flows directly from the POS into labor tracking. Compare scheduled versus actual hours against live sales data, per store. Spot overstaffing, understaffing, or cost imbalances early on, before they affect profitability.

Inventory & stock management
Perform daily or scheduled stock counts, log incoming deliveries, and monitor real-time stock deduction as orders are finalized. The system calculates theoretical usage based on recipes and compares it to actual usage, highlighting variance and potential waste.
Delivery area & online controls
Configure delivery zones, set minimum order values, and define delivery fees directly within the system. Pause or throttle delivery and pickup channels during peak demand to maintain operational stability.
Reporting & operational insights
Access real-time performance data without waiting for manual reports.
Store managers can generate automatic reports like:
- Daily sales breakdown by order type
- Food cost reports
- Labor cost reports
- Employee activity logs
- Service performance metrics
End-of-day & financial reconciliation
Review open orders, clock out staff, reconcile cash per payment type, and finalize daily transactions through a guided end-of-day process. Stock adjustments for cancelled or wasted items are proposed automatically.
Advantages seen by QSR chains that chose S4D:
Labor costs that don't surprise you
We typically see 3–5% labor cost reduction when scheduled hours are tracked against actual sales in real time, rather than reconciled after the fact.
Food waste you can actually act on
When theoretical versus actual stock variance is visible daily, most operators reduce shrinkage by 10–20% within the first quarter.
One less system to manage
Replacing a standalone HR or scheduling tool eliminates an integration point, a vendor contract, and a login your managers have to remember.
Smarter staffing before the rush hits
AI-assisted forecasting helps managers schedule the right number of people for the right shifts; reducing both overstaffing costs and service failures on peak nights.
Reports that write themselves
Automated KPI reports mean managers spend time running their store, not building spreadsheets; and head office gets consistent data across every location without chasing anyone.
Apache Pizza
Apache Pizza is Ireland’s largest pizza delivery and takeaway brand, operating more than 200 stores across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
By moving to S4D, Apache replaced a restrictive, closed setup with an open platform designed for continuous experimentation and integration. The brand connects best-in-class tools across delivery, payments, and marketing, including Uber Eats, Just Eat Takeaway, Mollie, Deployteq, and DotDigital, and more.
With the ability to add integrations and run A/B tests across channels, Apache continuously optimizes ordering, marketing, and customer engagement. This approach helped double online sales within three years, reduce dependency on aggregators, and build a flexible foundation that evolves as strategies change.

-
When working with UberEats, Just Eat Takeaway, or other third-party delivery platforms, will the menu also integrate with these?
We have several direct integrations, and when we don’t have a direct integration you can use our partner Deliverect to make sure all the orders come into our system. As a result of this, you save time, as you don’t have to upload the menu on all the different platforms, but you can all do it from S4D.
-
If stores run out of a certain product, how can it be displayed as out-of-stock on the specific online ordering website and app?
Store employees can use our inventory module on the POS to activate the stock warning for a specific product or option. This will show the product or option as “currently unavailable” on all their S4D sales channels, such as the website and mobile app for online ordering, POS, and self-order kiosks. Customers outside of the delivery area of the restaurant will still be able to order the product and option.
-
Can I upload images for products, coupons, and categories?
Yes. All of our channels support visuals to make it even easier to choose the right and most appealing product.
-
What if I need support for menu-related matters?
We offer support via WhatsApp chat, email, and phone during the store opening hours and according to the SLA.
Our support agents are trained to speak various languages to help in an efficient manner.
