What Novaryq is
Novaryq is a restaurant operations platform for North American food and beverage businesses, combining point of sale, payments, kitchen display, online ordering, delivery dispatch, loyalty, marketing, inventory, staff and accounting tools. Its POS supports floor maps, coursing, split checks and tips in a browser or Android terminal app. Each location can run a branded ordering storefront for pickup, delivery and dine-in without a Novaryq per-order commission, though payment processing and delivery fees may apply. The kitchen display handles live tickets, station routing, age timers and all-day counts. Inventory tools include recipe-based ingredient depletion, purchase orders, stock counts and replenishment suggestions. Multi-location operators can manage menus, pricing and policies centrally while retaining local control and consolidated reporting. Novaryq integrates Helcim for card payments and is available on Android and web. Core annual billing is C$129 a year; that plan includes one operational device licence, while hardware, payment processing and applicable taxes cost extra. There is no free plan.
