3Here’s what you get as a restaurant or café

  • Menu with add-ons

    Reusable option groups — pick one or several, required or optional, each with its own price.

  • Tips your way

    Three suggested percentages on screen before paying, or a tip line on the receipt added later.

  • Waitlist & reservations

    Guests join the line from a QR code and get a text when their table is ready. Booking requests you confirm.

  • Counter, pickup & delivery

    Turn on pickup and delivery with a delivery fee when you need them.

  • Receipt printing & cash drawer

    Star or network receipt printers, extra labelled copies, and a drawer that opens on cash sales.

  • Online ordering

    A menu website your customers can order and pay from; orders land in the app and can print automatically.

  • Staff & time clock

    Invite staff with your store code. They clock in on the register, can’t see your reports or deposits, and you see hours by person with a CSV for payroll.

  • Tips by staff

    See each person’s card and cash tips by day, and record when you’ve paid them out.

All ways to get paid
Android now · iPhone soon

Tap to Pay

Customers tap a contactless card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on your phone.

QR code

Show a code on your screen; the customer scans it and pays on their own phone.

Payment link

Text or email a secure link, or share it any way you like.

Cash

Enter what you were handed and the app shows the change due.

Hardware

The only hardware you need is already in your pocket.

Start with your phone or tablet. If you want paper receipts or a cash drawer later, add them — they’re the only things you’d ever buy.

Your phone or tablet

Required

Card reader

Not needed

Tap to Pay (Android), QR codes and payment links take cards without one. Want chip and swipe on a tablet? Add a Stripe Reader M2.

advise

Where the name comes from

nearvise began as a place to ask people nearby for advice, post a job and get quotes. It has grown into much more: a point of sale, invoicing and a customer book that a small business can run without doing a lot of homework.
