Romo Restaurant: Menu Management and POS Setup

Romo Restaurant menu management in a POS system means building your dish list, setting prices, adding allergen notes, and controlling staff access from one screen on an iPad or Android tablet you already own. You control which times customers can book, what the kitchen sees, and how the AI receptionist handles phone orders. SeasonX handles all of this on a single app that runs on a tablet in your back of house or at the counter. It is a product of Lumoras LLC, and setup plus the AI receptionist are included in the monthly plan. The primary use case is keeping menu changes, pricing updates, and staff permissions in one place so nothing gets missed between the kitchen and the front of house. See Romo restaurant menu management for the broader workflow behind these steps. ## Setting Up Your Romo Restaurant Menu in a POS Building or updating the menu in SeasonX works in a few short steps. You add each dish, set the price, and attach any modifiers such as protein swaps, cooking instructions, or allergen flags. Allergies and dietary notes are captured at the reservation or phone-order stage, so the kitchen sees them before the ticket prints. For Peruvian-style menus with multiple protein tiers and sauce options, you group modifiers under each dish so the line cook sees exactly what to prepare without guessing. Pricing and service-charge fields are set once per menu. You can add a tip line or a fixed service charge the same way you add a modifier. The AI receptionist captures party size, preferred time, allergies, and notes when a caller orders by phone. It only offers times the restaurant can actually seat, so you are not double-booking a 7 pm table. Kitchen tickets turn red at ten minutes, which flags a delay before it becomes a customer complaint. That timing threshold is built into the ticket flow and does not require a separate config step. For table turn times and how reservations interact with walk-in flow, see Reservations vs walk ins. ## Handling Peak Hours and Phone Orders During the dinner rush the AI receptionist takes phone orders and captures the same details a host would: party size, time, allergies, and special notes. The caller picks an available time slot from the list the system offers, and the reservation is logged before the caller hangs up. In the kitchen, each ticket appears on the tablet screen. At ten minutes the ticket background turns red so the line cook or expo can spot a lagging order at a glance. You do not need a separate alarm or a manager walking the line to check timers. Table turn times improve because the system only schedules parties into slots that match your actual seating capacity. If a party runs long, the next reservation is not already seated at a table that is still occupied. The flow keeps the front of house focused on the guests in the room rather than on a phone in the host stand. ## Pricing and Staffing Considerations SeasonX POS plans are priced by team size. The base plan runs from $99 a month for up to 5 staff, billed month to month with no annual contract. Setup and the AI receptionist are included in that price; there is no separate onboarding fee or add-on for the phone-order feature. If your team grows past five people, the monthly cost scales with the number of staff you add. You are not locked into a yearly term, so you can match the plan to the season without paying for unused months.
