Everything behind the counter,
in one place.

Most systems do the till and stop there. NxThing runs the whole shift — and tells you what it earned, who sold it, and what you are running out of.

📱

QR ordering at the table

Every table gets its own QR code. Guests scan, order and pay from their phone. The order goes straight to the kitchen — no one has to walk it over.

💳

Take payment any way

Cash, card terminal, Stripe or Zelle. Take payment in another currency — the till shows the guest exactly what they pay in euros, pesos or dong.

🔥

Kitchen display + printers

Tickets appear on the kitchen screen the moment they are rung in. Add as many printers as you need and give each one a name.

🍽️

Live table status

See which tables are busy, for how long, how many guests, and what has been ordered where. Add more to a table and settle it all in one bill.

📦

Inventory that warns you

Stock drops as you sell. You get told before you run out — not when a guest orders it.

👥

Staff, hours and payroll

Staff clock in with a personal 6-digit code. Hours and pay add themselves up. Every edit is logged, so nobody can quietly rewrite yesterday.

🏷️

Discounts under control

Only a manager or restaurant chef can approve a discount — with their own code. Every one is logged: who, why, when, how much.

📊

Know who earned what

Today, this week, this month — and revenue per staff member. Not a guess at the end of the month.

✉️

SMS to your customers

Send booking confirmations, reminders and offers by text — straight from the till. Templates are built in, and you see how many went out each day.

🎁

Gift cards

Sell and redeem your own gift cards in seconds. Every card has a code and PIN, an expiry date and a live balance — all tracked for you.

📅

Online booking

Customers pick a service, a staff member and a free time inside your opening hours. They get a confirmation, and it lands straight in your calendar.

💳

Credit & debit cards

Take credit and debit cards, cash or mobile pay. Charge in another currency too — the till shows the guest exactly what they pay.

💰

Lower your costs 25%+

One flat monthly price runs your whole business — orders, payments, staff, inventory, SMS and booking in one place — and cuts your total software cost by more than 25%.

Built for your trade —
not just restaurants.

The system renames itself to fit your work. A nail salon sees treatments and stations, not menu and kitchen. A car dealer sees vehicles and jobs.

We also find you
the right people.

This is the part no other POS does. NxThing is also a talent network. Skilled professionals list what they can do and get a personal NxThing ID that follows them between jobs — and businesses in Orange County find them when they are short-staffed.

🆔

A personal NxThing ID

Every professional gets an ID and their own QR code. It follows you between jobs and trades — your work history, not your employer's.

🔎

Businesses find you

Free to join the talent pool. When a salon nearby needs a nail tech on Saturday, you are who they find.

📝

Ask NxThing for staff

Tell us what you need — how many, full or part time, seasonal, experience, hourly wage — and we go find them.

Our story

Two problems.
One system built next door.

We started NxThing after watching the people who feed and care for Orange County get the worst tools. A nail salon owner ran the front desk on paper and sticky notes. The taco spot down the street lost tickets on a Friday night. And when someone called in sick, both of them spent days texting around to find a hand they could trust.

So we built two things that work as one. NxShift is the point of sale that runs the whole shop — orders, tables, inventory, bookings, gift cards, staff and customer messages — on a tablet you already own, at a flat price you can say out loud. NxSkillz is the talent network beside it: verified local professionals — nails, hair, kitchen, clinics, trades — each carrying their own ID and QR, ready when you need someone good.

One runs your business. The other finds your people. Together they give the immigrant-owned, family-run shops of Southern California the same technology the big chains have — without the lock-in, the percentage games, or the fine print. That's the next thing behind your counter. One system. Every trade.

Questions people ask

What does NxThing cost?

One flat monthly plan, the same for every trade — more than 25% cheaper than the big systems, cancel anytime. Call a NxThing seller on 657-551-8288 for a quote made for your business.

Do I have to buy hardware?

No. NxThing runs in the browser on the tablet or phone you already own.

Can my guests order by scanning a QR code?

Yes. Every table has its own QR code. Guests scan, order and pay from their own phone, and the ticket goes straight to the kitchen.

Can I take cards?

Yes — Stripe or Zelle. You use your own Stripe or Zelle account and keys, so the money lands in your bank, not ours.

Can staff give discounts?

Only if you let them. By default only a manager or restaurant chef can approve a discount, using their own 6-digit code. Every discount is logged with who, why and when.

Does it work in my language?

Yes. The guest-facing side and this page speak English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Danish — the languages Orange County actually runs on.

What if I need help?

With your permission, NxThing support can go into your system remotely and fix it. Every visit is logged in your own system, so you always see who was in and why.
