Novaryq
Kitchener–Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
What it is
Novaryq is an operating system for North American food and beverage businesses, bringing together POS, payments, kitchen display, online ordering, delivery dispatch, loyalty, marketing, inventory, staff, and accounting tools. Its POS supports floor maps, coursing, split checks, and tips in a browser or native Android terminal app. Each location can run a branded storefront for pickup, delivery, and dine-in ordering without a Novaryq per-order commission, though payment-processing and delivery fees may apply. The kitchen display routes live tickets to stations and provides age timers, all-day counts, and tap-to-bump. Inventory tools cover recipe-based ingredient depletion, par levels, 86-ing, purchase orders, stock counts, and replenishment suggestions that account for open orders. Multi-location operators can manage menus, pricing, and policies centrally while retaining local control and viewing consolidated reports. Novaryq integrates Helcim for card payments, tipping, refunds, and settlement reconciliation. Annual Core billing is C$129 a year; hardware, payment processing, and applicable taxes cost extra. The company is based in Kitchener–Waterloo, Ontario, and offers web and Android access.
