Product
Everything you need to run service, in one place.
Seven integrated modules designed to work together — so your team stops tab-hopping and starts serving.

Why TransIQ
Built in Canada, for North American hospitality.
Most POS vendors are stuck in the 2010s, or priced for enterprise chains. We built TransIQ for the operators we know — cafes on College Street, bakeries in Mile End, caterers in Calgary. Modern software, fair pricing, real human support.
01
Fair, transparent pricing
Per-location pricing, no setup fees, no surprise add-ons. Every plan includes unlimited users and devices.
02
Canadian tax & payments
GST, HST, QST, provincial taxes, and Interac support are baked in. Bilingual receipts for Quebec operators.
03
No lock-in, no migration pain
Export your data in one click. Import from Square, Lightspeed, or TouchBistro in the onboarding wizard.
04
Human support, not a queue
Email, phone, or chat to a real hospitality person — not a chatbot. Same-day response on every plan.
In their words
Operators who switched.
Placeholder quotes — we'll swap in real customer voices as they come in. The shape and feel will stay.
★★★★★
We moved from a legacy POS that hadn't been updated since 2018. TransIQ paid for itself in three months just on inventory shrinkage we caught.
★★★★★
The kitchen display alone changed our service. Tickets stopped getting lost, the cooks can read at a glance, and the rush is genuinely calmer.
★★★★★
I run six locations across Alberta. Consolidated reporting was the unlock. I see daily revenue across the whole group from one screen.
Platform highlights
The details that matter on a Friday-night rush.
Small things, polished — the kind of details that get noticed by the cook on the line and the owner closing the books.
Offline mode
Keep ringing when the Wi-Fi drops. Orders sync the moment you reconnect.
QR at the table
Guests scan, order, and pay. Your staff focuses on hospitality, not running cards.
Role-based access
Servers, cashiers, managers, and owners each see what they need — nothing more.
Realtime alerts
Push notifications when an order is late, a table flags for help, or stock runs low.
Audit trail
Every void, discount, and refund stamped with who, what, when. Required by your accountant. Loved by your auditor.
Open API
REST & webhook API to plug into your accountant, BI dashboard, or delivery stack.
Frequently asked
Questions other operators ask.
Can I import my menu from Square or Lightspeed?+
Yes — the onboarding wizard imports menu items, modifiers, and historical orders from Square, Lightspeed, TouchBistro, and Toast. Most cafes are fully migrated in under 30 minutes; bigger groups in a couple of hours.
What hardware do I need?+
An iPad, an Android tablet, or any modern touchscreen browser will run the POS. We recommend a Stripe Reader or Interac terminal for card payments. Receipt printers and cash drawers are optional. We don't lock you to specific hardware.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. The POS keeps ringing during Wi-Fi or internet outages. Tickets queue locally and sync the moment you reconnect — no manual reconciliation, no lost orders.
How are payments processed?+
We use Stripe and Interac for card processing. You see the same per-transaction rates Stripe publishes — we don't take a cut. Tap, chip, gift cards, and house accounts are all supported.
What happens to my data if I leave?+
It's yours. One click to export the entire account as CSV — orders, customers, inventory, recipes, everything. We don't hold data hostage. Some of our best customers came from operators who got burned by lock-in elsewhere.
Is there a contract or long-term commitment?+
No. Month-to-month billing on every plan. Cancel anytime, keep your data. The 14-day trial doesn't require a credit card.
See it run your kitchen
30 minutes. Your menu, loaded live.
A walkthrough with a hospitality specialist. Bring your menu and tax setup — we'll have it running in your account by the time the call ends. No contract, no commitment.
