Custom Untill integration development
Appfront builds custom Untill integrations that connect your hospitality point-of-sale system with online ordering and delivery platforms, reservation systems, payment providers, kitchen displays and BI dashboards. Using the Untill API and web services, we synchronise orders, transactions, revenue and item and menu data, so your locations run on a reliable, up-to-date flow of data instead of manual work.
What is an Untill integration?
Untill is a widely used hospitality point-of-sale (POS) system in the Netherlands and Belgium, part of Valk Solutions. Restaurants, cafés, hotels and hospitality groups use Untill for table management, ordering, payments, menu and item management and revenue reporting. While the till itself drives the day-to-day work on the floor, the real value of an integration lies in connecting Untill with the systems around it.
In practice, a custom integration means: orders from online ordering and delivery platforms land automatically in the till and on the kitchen display, reservations sync with table management, payments are matched with your payment provider, and revenue, transaction and item data flow through to accounting or a BI dashboard. Your staff work with an up-to-date picture and nobody has to key in data twice.
Appfront builds on the official Untill integration and API documentation and the OWASP ASVS security standard. We align data flows, error handling and synchronisation with your actual hospitality processes, so the integration stays reliable during peak moments and scales with additional locations or new platforms.
Table and order management
Orders, tables and menu items live in Untill. An integration brings orders from other channels straight into the same flow, so front-of-house and kitchen work from an up-to-date picture without double entry.
Revenue and transaction insight
Untill records revenue, items and payment method for every transaction. An integration makes that data available to your accounting or a BI dashboard, so you can track revenue and margin by location and by product group.
Payments and payment integration
Card and cash payments at the till are recorded together with the transaction. An integration aligns Untill with your payment provider so amounts, tips and corrections add up, reducing manual reconciliation and keeping end-of-day closing balanced.
Our development process for Untill integrations
We follow a proven methodology that removes uncertainty early and delivers a stable integration. From an initial analysis of your hospitality processes, locations and Untill configuration through to go-live and ongoing management, every step is aimed at an integration your team can understand and trust.
We map out which orders, transactions and item data you want to exchange, which platforms and locations are involved, and which Untill components (table management, menu, payment methods) are part of the integration.
We design the integration architecture, choose the right authentication and draw up an error-handling strategy.
Implementation with automated tests, structured logging and monitoring. You see working builds along the way.
Controlled go-live with data validation and a safety net, followed by ongoing management and further development.
What an Untill integration delivers in practice
Every Untill integration is set up specifically for your type of hospitality business, channels and connected systems. Below are the integrations we most often deliver for organisations that run Untill as the core of their hospitality operations.
Online ordering and delivery platform to POS
Orders from online ordering and delivery platforms flow into Untill automatically. Items are matched against your menu and item management, so orders land at the right table or as a takeaway or delivery order at the till, without manual re-keying.
Reservation integration
Reservations from your booking system sync with table management in Untill. Availability, arrival times and party size come together, so staff have reservations and walk-ins in one overview and no tables are double-booked.
Payment provider integration
Align Untill with your payment provider so card, cash and online payments link cleanly back to the transaction. Amounts, tips and corrections add up, which considerably simplifies end-of-day closing and reconciliation with accounting.
Kitchen display and kitchen
Orders from Untill are sent in real time to a kitchen display system or kitchen screen. Courses, preparation status and turnaround times are visible to the kitchen, whether the order comes from the table or a delivery platform.
Loyalty app and guest recognition
Connect a loyalty app to Untill so points, discounts and stamp cards are applied to the transaction at the till. Regular guests are recognised and promotions are applied consistently across all your locations.
BI dashboards for revenue by location
Revenue, transaction and item data from Untill is passed on to a BI dashboard such as Power BI. By location, part of the day and product group, you see revenue and margin, so management and operations managers steer by figures rather than gut feeling.
Typical use cases in practice
An Untill integration looks very different from one organisation to the next. We see a number of patterns recurring often, and for each of them we have a proven setup with attention to data flows, locations and the right synchronisation and error-handling logic.
Restaurants
Restaurants that want online orders, reservations and payments to come together at the till and in the kitchen. Orders and reservations flow into Untill, payments reconcile back, and the kitchen works from a live display. See also our API integrations.
Cafés
Cafés and bars with high transaction volumes and fast service. Loyalty promotions and payment integrations run alongside each transaction, while revenue by daypart and by product group is made visible for sharper purchasing and staffing.
Hotel chains
Hotel chains that want to connect food and beverage revenue from restaurant, bar and room service with their PMS and payment handling. Untill supplies the transaction and item data; the integration ensures revenue per outlet ends up in the right place. Also read about our Mews integration.
Hospitality groups
Hospitality groups and multi-site brands that want central control over revenue, margin and item management. Data from all Untill tills is brought together in a BI dashboard, so head office can compare locations and steer performance.
Technology we use
We build Untill integrations using the Untill API and web services, combined with the backend stack that suits you. The precise choice depends on the platforms and payment providers you connect with, so your own team can manage the implementation or develop it further.
Why choose Appfront for your Untill integration?
Appfront has extensive experience building API integrations for a wide range of organisations in the Netherlands. We always start with a thorough analysis of your existing systems and processes. An integration should not only work technically, but also add practical value to how your team operates on the floor.
For every integration, we write clear documentation and make sure your own team, or any future supplier, can understand and manage it. No black box, just transparent code and clear agreements on monitoring, alerting and maintenance.
You work with a dedicated point of contact who understands both the technical and the functional side. This keeps communication short, prevents misunderstandings and speeds up decisions when choices need to be made during development.

Security and privacy in Untill integrations
Integrations around a hospitality till handle transaction and guest data: orders, payments, revenue and sometimes personal data from reservations or loyalty schemes. Appfront builds to the OWASP ASVS. This includes storing API credentials in secure vaults, validating incoming data, scoping permissions per integration and regularly auditing the transaction and payment flows.
We process only the data that is necessary (data minimisation) and document the data flows, endpoints and payment integrations so that your record of processing activities is complete and you can demonstrably comply with the GDPR. Logging and audit trails show which integration exchanged which data, which helps with compliance checks and resolving discrepancies.
More on our security approach: information security policy and CVD policy.
- GDPR-compliant data processing and data minimisation
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest
- Role-based access and least-privilege principles
- Audit logs with traceable data flows
- Automatic retries and dead-letter queues
- Monitoring and alerting for anomalies
- Secrets management in line with best practice

Frequently asked questions about Untill integrations
Answers to the questions we are asked most often about Untill integrations.
An Untill integration is a technical link between the Untill hospitality point-of-sale (POS) system and another system, such as an online ordering or delivery platform, a reservation system, a payment provider, a kitchen display, a loyalty app or a BI dashboard. Through the Untill API and web services, orders, transactions, revenue, and product and menu data are exchanged and synchronised. An integration can be simple (revenue per location sent to a dashboard) or extensive (orders from multiple platforms appearing in real time at the till and in the kitchen).
Untill is strong in hospitality POS in the Netherlands and Belgium: restaurants, cafés, hotels and hospitality groups that want table management, ordering, payments, menu and product management and revenue reporting in one system. For retail POS or a pure webshop checkout, other systems may be a better fit. We will work with you to assess whether Untill suits your situation and which integrations will deliver the most value.
A simple integration, such as sending revenue and transaction data from Untill to a BI dashboard, can often go live relatively quickly. More extensive scenarios involving real-time orders from multiple ordering and delivery platforms, reservation integrations, payment providers and kitchen displays usually take longer. After an intake meeting, we will give you a realistic estimate for your situation.
We work with the Untill API and web services for transaction, revenue, product and menu data, combined with the backend stack that suits you: Node.js, Python, PHP or .NET. Authentication runs through Untill API credentials. For ordering, reservation and delivery integrations, we connect to the relevant platform APIs, and for reporting we link to BI tools such as Power BI.
Costs are driven by the complexity of the data flows, the number of systems and locations to connect, the required synchronisation frequency, and the amount of custom business logic. Ongoing management, monitoring and support also affect the total investment. We always provide a clear quote after a no-obligation analysis of your situation.
Yes. Transaction and guest data require careful security. Appfront builds to the OWASP ASVS: API credentials are kept in secure vaults, rights are scoped per integration, incoming data is validated, and access is strictly separated per integration. We process only the data that is necessary (data minimisation) and document the data flows so your record of processing activities stays complete and you can demonstrate GDPR compliance.
Yes. Appfront regularly takes over existing integrations, even if they were originally set up by another party. We review the Untill API integration, the data flows, error handling and monitoring, document the current setup and propose improvements. From that point on, we can handle changes, extensions and monitoring, including timely rotation of API credentials.
Untill suits hospitality organisations that run a POS till system: restaurants, cafés, hotel chains and hospitality groups, as well as hospitality software suppliers who want to connect to Untill. Typical integrations include online ordering and delivery platforms to the till, reservation systems, payment providers, kitchen display screens, loyalty apps and BI dashboards for revenue and margin per location. For retail POS or a pure webshop checkout, we will work with you to determine whether another system is a better fit.
