Integration

Lavu integration

Lavu is an iPad-based POS system designed for restaurants, bars, and quick-service establishments. It offers menu management, table layouts, employee scheduling, and reporting through a tablet interface that is easy for staff to learn. Lavu is popular among smaller restaurants and bars that want a modern POS without the cost of traditional hardware terminals. Integrating DirectOrders with Lavu lets you launch an online ordering website that operates independently of your in-store POS. Your kitchen receives direct orders through DirectOrders while Lavu handles dine-in and walk-in business. This setup eliminates third-party commissions on online orders and puts your restaurant in control of the customer experience.

Why it works

  • Continue using Lavu on iPad for dine-in, bar, and walk-in orders
  • Launch a branded online ordering site without switching POS systems
  • Eliminate third-party delivery commissions on direct orders
  • Collect customer emails and phone numbers for repeat business
  • Quick setup with no hardware changes needed

Common questions

Does DirectOrders work with Lavu's iPad setup?

Yes. DirectOrders runs independently as your online ordering channel, so it does not require any changes to your Lavu iPad configuration.

Can I use DirectOrders for both takeout and delivery?

Yes. DirectOrders supports both takeout and delivery orders. You can configure delivery zones, fees, and estimated times in the dashboard.

How do I receive online orders?

Online orders placed through your DirectOrders website are sent to you via the DirectOrders dashboard, with notifications so your kitchen can begin preparation immediately.
