Any know anything about them? Seems an expensive minefield
Soon opening a small bar, serving light food and snacks and usual range of drinks. We also have an outside serving hatch for teas, coffees, snacks and some light food.
Ideally I want 2 epos machines that help with the stock control side for drinks. We will be cashless so no money draw etc required.
Really can't see anything that does what we need without being silly money and far too complex
Any ideas? |  |

We use Samtouch tills - stock control system on them, can view figures and live data off site too.
We do monthly rental too, which obviously includes repairs / replacement if things go wrong. Not sure if the company I use are national but can put you in touch and they could help. |  |

We used to have a bank supplied one, but that changed when we sold up our business and started in a new arearea. Since then we've had a mobile EPOS, Paypal Here, though it's worth considering a Sumup and Square as well, as these ones offer more card coverage (e.g. Maestro, AmEx). I'd avoid the static, bank account related ones, they're outdated and expensive in a much bigger market nowadays. |  |

Cheers catch was hoping you would reply. Is it pretty high for the rental? Seen many at around £50 per month and as a start up trying to avoid contracts of that type | |

We use the SumpUp system for a small leisure facility and it works well although is subject to a good mobile signal.
I believe IZettle is similar and both sell their units for around £100 for base models and then a 1.65% commission on each transaction. Money is generally paid within about 48 hours and you get sent a daily report and monthly summary.
We have not explored any stock control features so can't comment on their availability. |  | | |

For any sort of 'pay and collect' service you might offer, or pre-ordering, can put you in touch with a local-ish company who has a free invoicing system online with no setup or monthly fees - I use them and it literally lets me enter an amount and an email address, creates a pdf and emails them and lets them pay via their phone / computer including apple and google pay and instantly notifies me when it's been paid. Then at end of year i just press spreadsheet button and i've got every single invoice ive done logged.
Doesn't cover your EPOS situation but as a free tool to have probs worth it. The fee's on onlien card processing fees arent bad either, cheaper than the likes of paypal. | | | |

We have a couple of sumup card readers connected to cheap tablets but the new facility will need something a bit bigger to do a full bar offer. I looked at the next level offers but they seem to need 2 new ipads so the total cost is about £1000 | |

Zettle is a good option if you want a low cost (£0 per month) method to take cards. They include the software to run the EPOS but on an iPad type device. Relatively low per transaction (1.75%) and the card reader about £20 one off (will need an internet connected device to authorise payments).
They do offer all the hardware too inc receipt printer and cash drawer. |  |
