What are Nova Handhelds?

Nova Handhelds are the mobile ordering and payment experience inside the Nova restaurant operating system. Staff can take orders, accept payments, access loyalty accounts, apply rewards, and send orders directly to the kitchen from anywhere in the restaurant. Replaces standalone handheld POS, tableside ordering, and mobile payment solutions.

Real example — faster table turns
