We went from three separate systems — till, card machine, bookings — down to one. Service is quicker, the end-of-night cash-up takes minutes, and the staff picked it up in a single morning.
The table plan and split-bill feature has been brilliant on busy nights. No more lost orders, no more arguments over who had what.
Online orders used to lose us 25% to the delivery apps. Now they land in the same system commission-free — that's real money back in our pocket every week.
Stock control alone has paid for the system. We can see exactly what's selling and what's just sitting there, and we've cut our waste right down.
The team installed everything, built our menu, trained the staff and stayed until we were happy. No upfront cost for a full EPOS — that still amazes me.
You get a 15-inch touchscreen terminal with the card machine built in, a cash drawer and a receipt printer, plus table plans, split bills, stock control, live reporting and commission-free online ordering. There's no catch and nothing upfront — £39 a month plus a card rate we set for you.
That's what it's built for. Course timing, table plans and split bills are designed for high-volume service, and the integrated card machine means no juggling a separate terminal when the floor fills up all at once.
Yes — you can lay out your floor exactly, move covers between tables, and split a bill by item or by guest. It keeps a large, busy room organised rather than relying on memory and paper.
Yes. Commission-free online ordering is built in, so orders from your own site land straight on the till and you keep the margin a delivery platform would otherwise take.
Almost always. We rebuild your menu, pricing and settings as part of the install so you're not retyping anything and the switch barely touches your service.
On site, in person. We come to your Cardiff venue, set up the floor plan and train front- and back-of-house properly — there's no extra charge and no figure-it-out-yourself handbook.
Yes — it scales. Start with one terminal and add more stations as you need them; they all share the same menu, stock and reporting.
Live sales, product mix and takings are available in real time and you can check them remotely, so you don't have to be stood at the till to know how trade is going.
It keeps going. The terminal processes card payments offline and syncs everything back up once you're reconnected, so a dropout doesn't stop you serving.
Fill in the form or call us. We'll talk through how your venue runs, map the menu and book an on-site install that works around your opening hours.
