Brand architecture
OSHQ POS is the company and platform brand (oshqpos.com). CommandPOS is the core software product operators log into. CommandPOS AI is the AI capability inside CommandPOS. commandpos.ai is a secondary product domain intended to redirect to CommandPOS — not a separate parent brand.
Core POS Engine
Organizations & locations. Employees, roles, PIN access, manager overrides. Menus (owned by RestaurantOSHQ, consumed here), modifiers, pricing, taxes, service charges, discounts, comps, voids. Orders, checks, seats, courses, fire/hold/send, split checks, transfers. Kitchen routing. Cash drawers, tips, reconciliation. Offline-first strategy is a Phase 0 research deliverable.
CommandPOS — the software surface
CommandPOS composes the OSHQ POS modules into the day-to-day operator surface: floor, tickets, KDS, shift, guest, back-office. Modular and role-aware. Pre-launch; no production POS today.
TableOS
Native floor plans, sections, tables, waitlist, table-ready SMS, sessions, transfers, turn-time metrics. Reservations are optional adapters. A reservation is not a table session.
Operations Modules
Online ordering, delivery & aggregator strategy, catering via CaterOSHQ, loyalty & subscriptions, gift cards, inventory & recipe cost, scheduling & time clock via WorkforceOSHQ, payroll/finance exports to FinanceOSHQ, reviews & guest recovery, text marketing, GameDay promotions, multi-brand & ghost-kitchen support. Menu and Recipe are owned by RestaurantOSHQ.
Payments & Hardware
Research tracks — no committed integrations, partners, processors, or certifications today. We separate POS software from payment assumptions and evaluate processor, gateway, and terminal SDK options alongside PCI, P2PE, EMV, tips, chargebacks, funding, and reconciliation implications. Any go-live requires an explicit decision gate.
Data, AI & Governance
CommandOSHQ is the operational brain and holds canonical org/tenant/workflow/notification/integration authority. CK3000 is institutional memory and AI governance. CommandPOS AI is the AI surface inside CommandPOS, governed by that model. No anonymous AI callers. No AI action bypasses authorization or manager approval. Immutable audit trails on sensitive POS actions.
