Odoo Restaurant review
An open, flexible restaurant POS with kitchen displays and a free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Odoo Restaurant combines restaurant point of sale with kitchen preparation displays, making it a fit for businesses that want order handling, kitchen progress tracking, and front-of-house workflows in one system. POS orders can go to configured displays such as a main kitchen or bar, with grouping by product category. The product is open source and available through Odoo Online or self-hosting, with web, desktop, and mobile platform options. Its wider restaurant workflows include floor plans, table assignment and transfers, kiosk or mobile self-ordering, and customer-facing order status screens.
The KDS workflow offers more than a basic order queue. Displays can be configured by POS, product category, and preparation stage; stages can use alert timers and visual indicators for overdue orders. Staff can mark individual items or whole orders complete, while kitchen and bar views support different preparation areas. A status screen shows orders ready or nearly ready for pickup. These controls suit restaurants that need adaptable preparation flows and visible progress. The listed capabilities do not establish a dedicated expo function, so operations centered on a specialized expo station should compare alternatives before choosing.
Odoo’s One App Free plan includes one app, unlimited users, and Odoo Online; Standard includes all apps and Odoo Online. That makes the free option relevant for a restaurant evaluating a single-app setup, while a broader restaurant workflow may call for Standard. Support channels include email and documentation. Choose Odoo Restaurant if you want an open KDS alongside POS and restaurant operations, with configurable stages and multiple deployment choices. It is less suited to buyers seeking only a standalone kitchen display or requiring confirmed expo functionality.
