a calculator with more buttons. Yes, the till features let you process payments
with ease; but it does so much more. Iiko helps your staff run ship

admin. It's a win-win.
Run a sit-down establishment? IIKO can digitise your floor
plan and suggest ways to utilise the available floor space. Need fast food
delivering? The system lets you schedule and coordinate deliveries with your
drivers in real time. Ingredients running low? IIKO’s inventory tracking system
