Overview

Liven is a hospitality POS that unifies ordering, loyalty, and kitchen workflows across iPad and Android. Some delivery features require a separate partner account; however, the interface is clear, self-ordering kiosks are strong, and KDS surfaces real-time order status to speed service.

What Is Liven?

Liven is a hospitality platform that combines point of sale (POS) with digital ordering, loyalty, and operational tools for restaurants, cafes, and multi-site venues. Its iOS and Android POS support tableside ordering, split bills, and quick menu edits, while a kitchen display system (KDS) reduces paper dockets and wait times. A mobile POS enables handheld service, and built-in loyalty encourages repeat visits through targeted rewards.

Liven Features

KDS replaces paper tickets with a clear, real-time queue. Orders appear instantly with status and modifiers, reducing miscommunication between the front and back of the house. Staff can prioritize items and mark completion on screen, improving pace and shortening wait times during peak periods.

See How It Works

Online ordering routes web, app, and kiosk orders directly to the right station without rekeying. Delivery partner connections consolidate menus and availability, so channels stay aligned. This reduces errors, keeps order flow accurate, and helps venues handle higher volumes with fewer manual steps during busy hours.

See How It Works

Procurement and inventory tools capture purchases, receipts, and stock movements to maintain accurate counts. Visibility into usage supports timely reorders and avoids stockouts. Cost of goods reporting links consumption to sales so operators can catch margin drift early and adjust recipes or purchasing before issues spread across locations.

See How It Works

Built in loyalty and CRM track visit frequency, spend, and preferences to target rewards that bring guests back. Segmentation supports timely offers based on real behavior, while stored value features make incentives simple. Among Liven features, these tools help lift repeat trade without heavy manual campaign work.

See How It Works

Abacus GO enables handheld service for tableside ordering and payment. Staff can update menus, split bills, and capture orders on the floor, reducing walks to a fixed terminal. Mobile workflows help increase order accuracy, keep service moving, and turn tables noticeably faster at peak times.
