Order hands-free, without touching a screen.

Natural-language ordering that turns spoken orders straight into POS tickets.

Voice POS setup guide
Estimated setup time: 10–15 min
Before you start
  • POS set up with a finished menu import
  • A supported headset or the in-app microphone on a counter device
Setup steps
  1. 1

    Enable Voice POS

    Turn it on under AI Agent → Voice for the venue.

  2. 2

    Pair a microphone or headset

    Connect a supported headset per station, or use the built-in mic on a counter tablet for lower-volume use.

  3. 3

    Review menu phrasing

    Check Voice → Phrasing for any items NUA flags as ambiguous (e.g. very similar names) and add spoken aliases where useful.

  4. 4

    Set confirmation behaviour

    Choose whether Voice POS reads back each order line before confirming, or only flags low-confidence items — under Voice → Settings.

  5. 5

    Train staff on the flow

    Run a few practice orders with each staff member so they're comfortable with pacing and corrections before service.

  6. 6

    Go live during a quiet shift first

    Enable it for one shift before a full rush, so any menu phrasing gaps get caught early.

Tips
  • Add spoken aliases for anything with a nickname on the floor ("the usual", local dish names) — accuracy jumps once these are mapped.
  • Low-confidence items are flagged, not silently guessed — a quick confirm tap keeps orders accurate without slowing things down.
  • Voice POS and the standard touch POS work side by side; staff can switch freely mid-shift.
Troubleshooting
  • An item is consistently misheard.
    Add a spoken alias for it under Voice → Phrasing — this is the single biggest accuracy fix available.
  • Voice orders aren't appearing on the Kitchen Display.
    Confirm KDS station mapping is correct under Kitchen → Stations; Voice POS routes through the same mapping as touch orders.
