Cuban Restaurant POS and Phone Setup for Busy Nights

Set up a Cuban restaurant POS with phone answering, reservation capture, and kitchen ticket tracking. Plans start at $99/month for up to 5 staff, month to month.

SeasonX is a restaurant POS system that takes reservations and phone orders while capturing party size, time, allergies, and notes. It only offers seat times the kitchen can handle, and kitchen tickets turn red at ten minutes to keep the line moving. SeasonX is a product of Lumoras LLC and runs on a tablet you already own or an optional dual-screen counter terminal that runs the same app. It is a [Restaurant POS System] designed for restaurants that lose reservations to voicemail during dinner service. During a dinner rush at a Cuban restaurant, the phone is your second host. SeasonX answers every call during service and captures party size, time, allergies, and notes before the caller hangs up. The system only offers times the restaurant can seat, so the front-of-house stops overbooking. When a ticket hits the kitchen and ten minutes pass, it turns red, keeping the line moving without a second glance. A missed call during peak service is a lost reservation and a missed order. SeasonX runs 24/7, so late-night takeout calls and early lunch bookings never go to voicemail. Each allergy note captured on the call lands directly in the kitchen ticket, so the cook sees it the moment the order prints. See the [Restaurant phone dinner rush] guide for more on why coverage matters. Cuban menus carry many small-plate items and shared dishes, so split-check and comp tracking matter more than in a per-person dining room. SeasonX handles comps, voids, and split checks natively, and the system runs on cloud infrastructure, so your manager can check reports from home. If your menu leans toward shared plates like ropa vieja, lechón, or empanadas, the [Split checks pos] guide walks through how to structure tabs for a group of six. POS plans start at $99 a month for up to 5 staff, billed month to month. Setup and the AI receptionist are included in that price. The register runs on an iPad or Android tablet you already own; an optional dual-screen counter terminal runs the same app and is not required. For the full breakdown, see the [Pricing] page. A missed reservation during a Cuban dinner rush costs you a table you already cleared and a group you cannot recover. The AI receptionist answers, captures the details, and offers only seat times the kitchen can handle. Allergy calls for a Cuban menu are handled the same way: the note is recorded and sent to the kitchen ticket. You do not need a special counter terminal. The register runs on an iPad or Android tablet you already own; an optional dual-screen terminal runs the same app if you want one. Yes. Connect your existing phone number in the dashboard, set your business hours and available seat times, and add staff PINs to assign sections. You can book a [Book a walkthrough] to see the setup process before you commit. For a deeper look at the tradeoffs, read the [Reservations vs walk ins] guide.
