What Branch runs
Everything the counter needs.
A quick look at what Branch actually runs, from the register in front of you to the schedule board in the back. Every one of these ships today.
Self-serve kiosks
Guests order and pay from your live menu, so the line moves without another register.
Dual pricing
Cash and card totals side by side on the customer display. No surprises at the counter.
Web dashboard
Menu, items, staff and pricing from any browser. Ships with Branch Eats today.
Appointments
A schedule board built around stylists and service times, with text and email reminders. Online booking available as an add-on.
Online ordering
Your own pickup, delivery, curbside and QR table ordering, with Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub on the same rail.
Three programs, built for three trades
Pick the counter you stand behind.
The products differ where the work differs: a grocery lane is not a dinner rush is not a salon chair. Each is a specialized program you choose for the trade it was built for.
Grocery & supermarket
Branch Commerce
Built for the pace a busy grocery runs at. Dual pricing puts the cash and card total side by side on the customer display, EBT Food and EBT Cash ring as first-class tenders, and every sale moves stock the moment it closes.
- High-speed barcode scanning
- Scale integration
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Integrated EBT support
Restaurants & hospitality
Branch Eats
Dine-in, takeout and delivery on one rail. Guests order at the table, at a kiosk or online, and Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub tickets land right beside your walk-ins. Every channel hits the same screen behind the counter.
- Intuitive touchscreen ordering
- Kitchen display routing (KDS)
- Split-check capabilities
- Mobile handheld ordering
Salons & appointment businesses
Branch Services
A day-at-a-time schedule board: a column per stylist, slots sized to each service, so the whole floor's day reads at a glance. Products and services settle on one ticket, in a single payment.
- Flexible appointment scheduling
- Staff commission calculations
- Client profile tracking
- Tip management
How it actually works
The work never leaves the system.
Most systems hand you a register and leave the rest to you. Follow one job of work through Vine Branch and the difference shows: it is never re-typed, and it never stops being the same job.
The guest orders
At the table, at a self-serve kiosk (licensed separately), or online for pickup or delivery. Every route reads the same live menu, so a sold-out item is sold out everywhere at once.
The kitchen gets it
Items route to the station that makes them, with modifiers and guest numbers attached. Nothing is re-keyed, so nothing is heard wrong across a noisy pass.
Staff close it out
Split by guest, by item or by amount. Automatic gratuity on large parties, tips settled at the terminal, and the check reprinted in a tap.
It lands in your reports
Sales, tax, item mix, payment type and ten different views of tips: ready to export to Excel, print, or arrive in your inbox on a schedule.
The customer checks a price
A wall-mounted price-check station (a separately licensed kiosk app) answers it without pulling anyone off a register, and the same catalog backs the shelf, the lane and the online store.
The cashier rings it out
Cash and card totals show side by side on the customer display, weighed items come straight off the scale, and EBT Food and EBT Cash tender like any other payment.
Stock comes down
Counts move as the sale closes: on the shelf, in the back room and across every other station, without anyone re-publishing anything.
The day adds up
Item mix, margin and tax are already totaled by the time you cash out the drawer, and the batch settles on its own at the hour you set.
The client books
Once your dealer has set up the booking app they pick a service, a stylist and a slot from your real availability and get a text or email confirmation; otherwise staff book straight onto the board. The chair fills without a phone call.
The board fills up
Ten, fifteen or thirty-minute slots across every stylist, with each service carrying its own duration, and a stylist able to carry their own.
They arrive and are served
Check in from the board, start the service, and add upcharges as the appointment grows. Notes and a photo stay on the client’s record.
The takings are split
Commission is worked out per stylist per service, as a rate on what the line clears or a flat amount, and rebooking closes the loop before they leave the chair.
What you actually get
The details that decide it.
Every system claims to do everything. These are the specifics that tend to matter at 7pm on a Friday, each one tagged with the product it ships in, so you can see what applies to your counter.
Offline mode
Keep ringing sales when the line drops. The terminal runs on a local copy of your data and syncs back up the moment the connection returns.
- Commerce
- Eats
Offline master data
The terminal keeps a local copy of your staff, services, categories, pricing, commission rules and settings, so sign-in and permissions keep working if the line drops and it re-syncs the moment the connection returns. Selling and the schedule board wait for the line.

Dual pricing
Cash and card totals side by side on the customer display, with the card fee set as a percentage per item: printed either as both prices on every line, or as cash prices with the fee on its own line.

- Commerce
Self-serve kiosks

Menu scan
Photograph the menu. Skip the typing.
Getting a menu into a new system is the worst day of any install: hundreds of items, every size, every modifier, all keyed in by hand. Take a picture of it instead, check what comes back, and import it.
A licensed add-on. Ask us whether it is switched on for your plan.
Photograph it
Point a phone or a tablet at the printed menu. One picture per page.
It gets read
Categories, items, prices, size variations and modifier groups come back structured, not as a wall of text.
You approve it
Check the result, fix anything it misread, and choose what to keep, item by item or all at once.
It goes live
The menu imports straight into your live catalog and is ready to ring on the POS. Switch each item on for the kiosk and online ordering when you want it there.

Dual-screen displays, wireless handheld tablets and fast PAX payment terminals: Branch runs on the hardware that fits your counter, not a locked-in box.

Who you are buying from
A system you can get someone on the phone about.
Vine Branch builds the software, supplies the hardware and does the install, so when something needs fixing there is no vendor to point at.
Installed on site
We set up the hardware, load your menu or catalog, and train the people who will use it.
Supported from New York
Service and support run out of Great Neck. You reach a person who knows the system you bought.
Three programs, three trades
Retail, restaurant and salon each run their own program, and a group with many stores of one product sees them all in that program reporting.
Before you ask
Questions owners actually ask.
What happens if the internet goes down mid-shift?
You keep serving. Each terminal runs against a local copy of your menu, items, customers and settings, so it switches over on its own and keeps ringing sales, then syncs everything back up when the connection returns. Card payments still need the processor, so for those you fall back to manual entry until you are back online.
Can I run more than one location on it?
Yes. Each store keeps its own menu, staff and pricing, and Central Office gives you shared inventory, gift cards and reward points across the group. From the web dashboard you switch between stores, and each one reports in its own timezone.
Can I manage the business without being on site?
The Branch Eats web dashboard runs in any browser and installs on your phone like an app (dashboards for Branch Commerce and Branch Services are on the way). Menus, items, modifiers, recipe costs, inventory, staff, payroll, permissions, printing and table layouts are all editable from there, alongside a full report library you can export to Excel or PDF, or have emailed on a schedule. Orders are deliberately read-only: you can see every line, payment and audit entry, but nothing can be altered remotely while service is running.
Do you handle installation, or does it arrive in a box?
We install on site. That covers the hardware, the network, your menu or catalog, and training the staff on the terminal they will actually use. Support afterwards is US-based, out of Great Neck, New York.
Can my customers order or book online?
Yes, through the same system. Branch Eats takes pickup, delivery, curbside and QR table orders through your own ordering app, with a live delivery quote from Uber Direct, and Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub and Menufy orders arrive on the same rail as walk-ins. Branch Commerce runs an online store on the counter catalog, and Branch Services takes appointments against your real availability.
Does it do anything with AI?
One thing, and it is the useful one: photograph a paper menu and it comes back as categories, items, price variations and modifier groups for you to review and import, instead of being typed in by hand. There is also an assistant that answers questions about your sales data. Both are licensed add-ons rather than standard features. Ask us whether they are switched on for your plan.
What does it cost?
It depends on the hardware you need and how many locations you run: a single handheld and a six-lane grocery store are not the same quote. Tell us what you are running and we will price it.

One store or ten, a deli counter or a full dining room. Describe the floor and we will show you the setup that fits it, and price it properly.
