We provide POS software development Los Angeles restaurants, food trucks and retailers rely on to sell faster and stay on the right side of California pricing rules. Codeeo designs tablet and handheld checkout, card terminal links, tip handling, multilingual staff screens and owner reporting for operators from Koreatown and the Arts District to Silver Lake and Venice. You get a POS that fits your floor, your menu and the way Angelenos actually pay, whether that is a tap of a phone at a taco truck or a split check at a long dinner in Koreatown.
California asks more of a point of sale than most states. Advertised prices must include mandatory fees, tips belong to workers, and sales tax shifts from one city to the next across the county. We build those rules into the software so your managers are not policing them by hand.

Inside the system
Los Angeles is spread out, and so are most of the businesses we talk to: a second location across the 10, a truck that parks somewhere different every evening, a weekend pop-up at Smorgasburg. A good POS keeps all of that in one place. Custom POS software development Los Angeles owners ask us for usually starts with pricing and tax, because California fee disclosure and local district taxes affect every receipt, then moves to the floor: fast ordering, tips, kitchen tickets and offline sales. These are the pieces we build most often, though your first release will include only the ones that solve your current problems. Everything shares one product catalog and one sales record, so the menu you edit on Monday is the menu every truck and storefront sells from on Tuesday. When something does go wrong, a support log shows which device, which user and which order were involved.
California's honest pricing law requires advertised prices to include mandatory fees. Restaurants may still add a mandatory service charge if it is clearly shown and explained on the menu. The POS keeps fee settings, menu wording and receipt lines in sync, so a change in policy updates every screen and printed menu at once.
Prices on the menu, the screen and the receipt always agree.
Sales tax differs between the City of Los Angeles, neighboring cities and unincorporated parts of the county because of district taxes administered by the CDTFA. Each store and each truck stop is tied to the right rate, and mandatory gratuities are treated as taxable while optional tips are not, following California's rules on service charges.
Returns filed with the CDTFA match what the POS collected.
California law treats tips as the property of the employees who earn them. The POS records card and cash tips per person, supports lawful pooling among eligible staff, passes card tips through in full and exports them to payroll, with an audit trail if a server ever questions a total.
Clear, defensible tip records for every shift.
Phone or rugged handheld checkout with a clip-on reader, preset menus for a short service window, and offline storage when a truck parks in a dead zone. Sales sync to the same dashboard as your brick and mortar locations once the device reconnects.
A truck sells as reliably as a storefront.
Los Angeles kitchens and counters run in Spanish, Korean, Armenian, Tagalog and Chinese as well as English. Each employee picks a language at login; customer-facing screens and receipts follow your brand language. Modifier names, allergy flags and manager prompts are translated too, not just the main buttons.
New staff learn the system in the language they think in.
Visitors from LAX and the cruise terminal pay with foreign chip cards and phone wallets. We integrate with terminals that accept them through tap and chip, with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and keep card data in the certified device so PCI DSS scope stays small. Receipts can show the amount clearly for visitors checking their own bank's conversion.
Every visitor's card works the first time.
Salons, tattoo studios and wellness spots in West Hollywood or Los Feliz sell services and products together. Bookings, deposits, provider commissions and retail add-ons close out on a single ticket, and repeat clients can rebook before they leave the chair.
One checkout for the service and the products.
Loyalty, receipts by email and marketing lists are built with California privacy rights in mind: clear notices, opt-outs for selling or sharing data, and an admin tool to find, export or delete one customer's records when they ask.
Privacy requests are answered from a screen, not a database query.
Orders placed on your website, your own app or a delivery marketplace drop into the same queue as the counter. Prep times adjust when the kitchen is slammed, drivers get a ready alert, and sold-out items disappear from every channel at once instead of after a customer has already paid for them.
No more tablets from three delivery apps crowding the pass.
Sales by location, daypart, channel and employee, voids and comps with reasons, labor against sales and tip totals. Owners with sites from Santa Monica to Pasadena compare them side by side, and a weekly summary lands in their inbox before the Monday meeting.
Every location's numbers in one morning check.
Who we build for
Not every LA business needs custom checkout. If one register and a standard menu cover your needs, a packaged product is cheaper to run. A custom build earns its place when California rules, multiple channels or an unusual sales process keep forcing workarounds. These four situations come up most often in our conversations with Los Angeles owners. In each case the first release stays small, proves itself at one site and then grows.
Groups with locations in Downtown, Echo Park and the Westside juggle several district tax rates, menus that differ slightly by site and a service charge policy that must appear correctly everywhere. We build central menu and fee management with local overrides, so a price change rolls out to every location while each site keeps the right tax and any items unique to it. Managers get permission levels that let them comp a dish or close a register without touching the master menu, and the owner sees every void and discount by person.
One change, every location, correct tax.
A truck that moves between office parks at lunch and nightlife strips after dark needs checkout that works offline, prints or texts receipts, and knows which city it is parked in for tax. We add route and stop tracking so owners see which locations earn their spot, plus pre-order pickup for regulars who follow the truck online. Commissary prep lists can come straight from yesterday's sales, so the truck leaves loaded for the stops it is actually going to work.
Built for curbside, not just counters.
Brands selling in the Fashion District, on Melrose or through a Fairfax storefront often run wholesale, retail and online channels together. We connect the store POS to the online shop, handle size and color variants, exchanges across channels and gift cards, and support appointment based styling sessions. A customer who bought a jacket online can return it in store, and the associate sees the original order without phoning anyone.
Concession operators working arenas, outdoor concerts and studio lot events need high speed checkout across many stands. We build simplified stand menus, mobile ordering to a pickup window, per stand cash and inventory control, and offline buffering for crowded networks, with a supervisor view across every stand during the event. Settlement at the end of the night reconciles cards, cash and comps per stand before staff go home.
Working with us
Codeeo has no Los Angeles office. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and collaborates with LA clients remotely: discovery, design reviews, testing and staff training all happen by video call, with recordings and written summaries. The POS software developers Los Angeles clients work with join those calls directly, so the people writing the code hear your managers describe a problem in their own words. Most projects start with a fixed scope first release and continue on a monthly retainer; larger groups add a dedicated team. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and hold a 4.7 rating from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native or cross platform apps for iPad, Android tablets and handhelds, a cloud back office, and payment SDKs from the processor you choose. We select tools your future team can maintain, and avoid anything that ties you to a single vendor's hardware. If you already own iPads, printers or cash drawers that work, we design around them rather than asking you to replace them.

03Marketing and tracking
Checkout, payments, tax, tips and reporting, shaped around California rules.
The core is a fast ordering screen, card terminal integration, correct district tax per location, tip recording and a reporting back office. Many LA clients add kitchen display, online ordering, loyalty and payroll exports in the same release or soon after. Because fee disclosure and tip ownership rules are stricter in California, we treat pricing logic and tip handling as foundations, not extras. Hardware choice comes next: which tablets, printers, cash drawers and readers suit each location.
