Country club restaurant POS that handles every service style
Table service in the dining room. Quick service at the halfway house. Mobile beverage cart on the course. Banquet events in the ballroom. Member tabs that charge to account. Kitchen display with course timing and modifiers. One POS, every service style your club runs.
A country club restaurant is not a restaurant. It is four restaurants. The main dining room runs full table service with course timing and a wine list. The grill room runs a faster all-day menu, often with charge-to-account dominant. The halfway house turns a four-hour shift's worth of revenue in 90 minutes and lives or dies on speed at the till. The beverage cart needs to take orders on the third hole and close them out at the eighteenth. And the banquet team runs private events that need pre-orders, plated menus, bar packages, and a single final invoice to the host member.
The usual answer is a different POS for each venue, with the back office reconciling four systems by hand at the end of every day. Links Meridian runs every service style on a single platform. The dining room uses table management with floor plans, course timing, and tab transfer between staff. The halfway house uses a quick-service layout with the most-ordered items pinned. The beverage cart runs on an iPad with offline mode for the dead zones in the back nine. The banquet team builds the event in the events module and the line items appear on the host member's statement the morning after.
Charge-to-account is the workflow most country club restaurants need most. A member orders dinner, the server hits 'charge to account,' and the meal posts to the member's statement. Family members charging on the parent account, dependents with spending limits, and guest charges that need to route to the sponsoring member are all handled at the cashier screen, not in a back-office tool the next day. Tip allocation, service charges, and minimum spending requirements all calculate automatically and post to the correct accounts.
Because the restaurant POS shares a member record with the pro shop, the tee sheet, and the lottery, a member who plays a Saturday morning round and stays for lunch sees one statement. The Friday-night dinner tab a member ran with a guest party is on the same record as the Sunday tournament entry. The F&B director can answer 'who are our top dining members' as easily as 'what is the labour percentage at the grill room' because both questions hit the same database.
The outcome for your club
Every service style on one POS
Dining room, grill room, halfway house, beverage cart, banquet, and pool snack bar all run on the same platform with the right layout for each.
Charge to member account works the way members expect
Hit 'charge to account' at the register. Done. Dependents, family members, and guests of members all route to the right statement. Spending limits are enforced at the cashier screen.
Kitchen display with course timing
Orders route to the right station with modifiers. Course timing fires the kitchen at the right moment. The dining room runs on rhythm, not on the server running back to the pass.
Mobile beverage cart, offline-capable
The beverage cart runs on an iPad with offline mode. Orders take on the back nine, close at the turn, and sync as soon as the cart is back in Wi-Fi range.
Banquet and private events handled
Build the event in the events module. Plated menu, bar package, room minimum, and service charge all apply at billing. The host member sees one final invoice.
Labour, sales, and inventory in one report
F&B director sees labour percentage, sales per cover, top sellers, COGS, and inventory variance in one report. No data warehouse required.

What's included
Common questions
Does it handle halfway house and beverage cart service?
Yes. Each venue has its own layout. Halfway house uses a quick-service screen with the most-ordered items pinned. The beverage cart runs on an iPad with offline mode for the back-nine dead zones, syncing automatically as soon as it returns to Wi-Fi.
How does charge-to-account work for family members and dependents?
A member can authorise dependents (spouse, children, designated guests) to charge against their account. Each dependent has a separate PIN, configurable spending limits, and individual line items on the parent statement. Guest charges by a member's guest route to the sponsoring member automatically.
Can we enforce minimum F&B spending per member?
Yes. Set a quarterly or annual F&B minimum per membership type. The system tracks actual spend, surfaces members below the minimum, and bills the shortfall at the configured cadence. No spreadsheet required.
Can we run private events and banquets?
Yes. Build the event in the events module with the plated menu, bar package, room minimum, and service charge. Pre-orders capture the host member's selections in advance. On the night, the kitchen sees one consolidated ticket and the host member sees one final invoice.
Does it integrate with the tee sheet so a member's round and lunch are on the same record?
Yes. The restaurant POS, pro shop POS, tee sheet, member CRM, and accounting all share the same database. A member who plays a morning round, has lunch, and buys a glove at the pro shop sees three line items on one statement.
How do we handle tournament prize-fund spending at the bar?
Tournament winners can spend their prize fund at any register, including the bar. The cashier picks 'tournament fund' as the payment method, and the system deducts from the winner's balance. The remaining balance is visible to the member in the portal.
Can the kitchen display handle course timing?
Yes. Servers fire courses individually (apps, mains, desserts) and the KDS displays each course at the right moment. Modifiers, allergens, and table notes show on the ticket. The expediter sees the whole table together.
Does it produce F&B-specific reporting?
Yes. Labour percentage, sales per cover, sales per labour hour, COGS percentage, recipe costing variance, top sellers by daypart, and average spend per member. All exportable. All live.
