Built for Philippine restaurants and cafes
Keeps selling, even when the internet is down.
Somar POS runs your counter, your tables and your kitchen on Android tablets. Orders, bills and kitchen tickets keep going through an outage, and everything syncs when the connection comes back.

For Loyverse users
Leave Loyverse without starting over
Somar works the way your cashiers already do: pick items, build the ticket, charge. Your data comes with you, and you gain the things a Philippine restaurant needs.
What you keep
- Your menu, add-ons, categories and discounts
- Your customers, staff names, stores and stock levels
- Your past receipts and shifts, with their receipt numbers
- Software built on the Loyverse API: Somar answers the same requests and sends Loyverse's webhooks in the same shape
What you gain
- Saved orders and tables that keep working offline, kitchen tickets included
- Senior citizen and PWD discounts with the VAT exemption worked out for you
- X-readings, Z-readings and a sales journal for each register
- Inventory with recipes, so a sale takes its ingredients off the stock
- A phone dashboard for the owner, with alerts at the end of the day
- An activity log of every change, and a list of every device that has signed in
Features
Everything the counter, kitchen and office need
One system for the people who take orders, the people who cook them and the person who owns the place.
Kitchen
A kitchen display app shows each station only its own orders, with a chime for new ones. Bump items or whole orders when they're done, with undo.
Kitchen printers per station, if you prefer paper
Offline mode
Starts by itself when the connection drops. Save orders, send them to the kitchen printer, print bills and take cash. Everything syncs in order when you're back online.
The screen shows how many sales are waiting to sync

Moving from Loyverse
How moving from Loyverse works
You can run the import while you are still selling on Loyverse. Nothing is changed in your Loyverse account.
-
Bring your data over
In the back office, paste a Loyverse access token and tick what to bring: stores, menu, add-ons, customers, stock, staff, receipts and shifts. You can run it again later to pick up new sales.
-
Check the settings Loyverse doesn't have
Mark which stores are VAT-registered, which items are VAT-exempt and which qualify for the senior and PWD discount, and give each staff member a role and a PIN. A later import never overwrites these.
-
Pair your tablets
Install the apps, enter a pairing code from the back office, and sign in with a staff PIN. Each register gets receipt numbers of its own, separate from Loyverse's.
-
Switch over
A checklist in the back office shows what is ready and what is left. When everything is green, you start selling on Somar.

FAQ
Questions
Is Somar POS BIR-accredited?
Not yet. Accreditation is in progress. The registers already keep X-readings, Z-readings, a sales journal and senior and PWD records in the way the BIR asks for, but please don't use Somar to issue official receipts until it is accredited. Check with your accountant, and we will tell everyone on the waitlist when it is done.
What happens when the internet goes down?
The register keeps selling. You can save orders, send them to the kitchen printer, print bills and take cash and other offline-safe payments. When the connection is back, everything syncs in the order it happened. Points, gift cards and refunds wait until you are online again.
Can I bring my Loyverse data?
Yes. The import brings your stores, menu, add-ons, customers, stock, staff, receipts and shifts, and past receipts keep their numbers. It only reads from Loyverse, and you can run it again to pick up new sales before you switch.
Will my tools that use the Loyverse API keep working?
Most of them can. Somar answers the Loyverse API's requests for receipts, shifts, items, customers, stock and more, and sends Loyverse's five webhook types in the same shape. Point the tool at Somar's address with a Somar access token. Tell us what you use and we'll check it with you.
What devices do I need?
An Android tablet or phone for each register. For the kitchen, an Android tablet or an iPad, or a kitchen printer. A spare Android tablet works as the customer display. Receipt printers and cash drawers are optional.
How much does it cost?
Pricing isn't announced yet. Join the waitlist and you will hear it first.
Can I take my data out?
Yes. The owner can download every record as CSV files from the back office at any time.
What does the name Somar mean?
SOMAR stands for Smart Organization, Management & Admin Resources. That is what we build: one set of tools to organize and run a restaurant, from the counter to the back office.
