Recently Odoo 19 brings Next-level updates to the Point of Sale (PoS) application that helps all small and medium retail businesses and restaurants enhance overall functionality, user experience, and operational efficiency. These new features empower businesses to streamline sales processes and improve customer satisfaction. Let's explore here what's new with Odoo 19 Point of Sale:
Improved Dark Mode
Odoo 19 introduces a native Dark Mode option in the Point of Sale (POS) module. Dark Mode is a built-in, toggleable theme that offers Upgraded usability, eye comfort, and visual & perfect for modern retail and hospitality environments. No add-ons needed, just a simple switch to switch the look and feel of your POS to a sleek, low-light-friendly UI.
Odoo 19 POS Two-Click Preset Configurations
Odoo 19 introduces a Two-Click Preset Switching feature in the Point of Sale (POS) interface, designed to Modernize operations in environments with multiple sales modes (e.g., restaurants, cafés, kiosks, retail stores).
Two-Click Preset Switching makes it super easy to toggle between different POS configurations instantly. No backend fiddling—just pick a mode and go. It's a decisive upgrade for dynamic sales environments needing fast, flexible workflows.
When you create a preset (like “Takeaway” or “Eat In”), you can also configure extra operational rules for it — not just visual or pricing changes.
For example:
Time-based capacity: You can set a limit such as “Only accept 5 orders every 20 minutes” for that preset. This helps avoid kitchen overload or staff congestion.
Pick-up zones: You can assign a pickup location or counter for that preset. So “Takeaway” orders could be collected at Counter 2, while “Delivery” orders are handled elsewhere.
Identification requirements: You can decide that for certain presets, the cashier must ask for and record ID details (like customer name, phone, or ID number).
Odoo 19 POS Course Management
Course Management in Odoo 19 POS lets you break down an order into multiple meal phases like appetizers, mains, and desserts, with the flexibility to move items between stages. It’s a feature designed for smoother, more intuitive restaurant workflows.
Leveraging Course Management in POS transforms how restaurants and hospitality businesses handle multi-course orders. Instead of lumping everything together, you can break down orders into structured stages, for example: “Starters,” “Main Course,” “Dessert,” and so on. This makes order flow clearer, more organized, and better aligned with real-world serving practices.
Long press/click for product information
Odoo 19 POS introduces a long press to display the detailed product information in Pop-up.

Odoo 19 now features POS Store Timing, enabling businesses to set and manage store opening and closing hours directly within the Point of Sale system for improved operational control.
Restaurant: preparation time report
Odoo 19 now adds a built-in report for the preparation time of orders.
Settling due accounts
With odoo 19 pos now you can select the customer's due accounts to be settled.
