“Masterkasse is offline. ”
A sentence that immediately causes beads of sweat on the forehead in many catering establishments — and rightly so. Because when the central cash register fails, the entire company often comes to a standstill. orders? No longer possible. payments? Bad news. And that of all times when the shop is full.

Many classic cash register systems work according to the so-called Master/Slave-Principle: A central main cash register — the “master” — controls all other devices. If this master fails, all connected terminals will also stop working. A single technical fault can paralyze the entire operation. And to avoid this, some companies are installing entire “nuclear power plants” with emergency power supply and redundant network connections.

But are such systems really still up to date in 2025?

No more dependencies: self-sufficiency instead of central control

With MobileWaiter At RunMyResto, we take a different approach: Every device is complete self-sufficient. There is no central master, which controls everything — and therefore no “single point of failure.” Each MobileWaiter functions as an independent POS system and can continue working independently of others.

What does this mean in practice for everyday life in the catering industry?

• Power failure? No problem — our devices continue to run on integrated batteries.
• WiFi outage? Never mind — MobileWaiter is offline capable and automatically synchronizes data as soon as the connection is back on.
• Device loss or damage? Even if a MobileWaiter proverbially ends up in the fryer, all other systems continue to run normally.

More security, more freedom, more time for the essentials

Through the decentralized structure of our system, restaurateurs gain one thing in particular: Freedom and operational safety. No more nervous monitoring of the master fund. No complex backup solutions. No IT anxiety with every minor power failure.

Instead: more time for guests, more efficient service processes and a system that thinks along — and works even when nothing works.

Conclusion: Modern gastronomy needs modern solutions

In an industry where every minute counts and puts guest experience first, a fail-safe POS system isn't a luxury — it's a necessity. With MobileWaiter, we at RunMyResto can do just that: A system that adapts flexibly, Scale seasonally leaves and simply works — without ifs or buts.

Away with dependency — in with freedom.
