EPOS for pubs and bars

We fit pubs and bars with a till built for speed at the bar: quick screens for a busy Friday night, staff logins that floating and part-time team members can pick up fast, and pricing that switches itself for happy hour and last orders. Behind the counter, stock and sales reporting keep the cellar and the bar stocked without guesswork.

What this trade needs from its till

A bar till lives or dies on speed. Staff need a layout they can work without stopping to think, screens that keep up through a full round, and pricing that changes itself rather than relying on someone remembering to switch it over at five o’clock. Tabs need to be easy to open, add to and settle from more than one till, because the person who starts a round isn’t always the one who closes it. Cellar stock has to be counted properly rather than guessed at from what’s left on the shelf, and regulars want to feel recognised without a paper stamp card that’s easy to lose.

A typical setup

Most pubs and bars run a fast bar terminal for orders and payment, a kitchen screen if food is served, and an app so customers can order and pay from the table or the beer garden without waiting for a free member of staff. We add stock control to keep an eye on the cellar, reporting to see what’s actually selling, and staff logins so a floating team member can walk onto any till and start working straight away. We put the setup together around how you run service, not a fixed package.

Kit we recommend

For most bars we fit TouchPoint as the till, with TouchKitchen for anywhere serving food and ByTable so customers can order from their phone without a member of staff free. TouchStock handles cellar counts and deliveries on a handheld rather than a clipboard.

Our usual counter terminal is the Oxhoo ZENIO, which switches between portrait and landscape on the same stand, paired with a flip-top drawer where there isn’t much depth under the bar. An Aures YUNO II is the option where you’d rather run either till range on the same box.

If a simpler, single-brand system suits your pub better, the alternative we fit is SamTouch POS on a SAM4S Forza116 terminal. Its tabs aren’t tied to one till, so a round started at the bar can be settled at another without anyone hunting it down.

Integrations that matter here

Card payments through Dojo, accounts software through Xero, and a loyalty scheme like Como Loyalty for regulars are the integrations pubs and bars ask us about most, alongside Apple Pay for anyone ordering through the app. See the full range on our integrations page.

Support after we fit it

Installation and training happen before you open, and menu programming gets your prices and categories loaded in ahead of time, so the till is ready for a full service, not a soft launch. We’re based in Runcorn and support pubs and bars across the North West, and if something needs fixing fast, our remote support gets a technician looking at the till over a secure connection. Ongoing cover runs through one of our support packages.

A shift in service

Doors open, the first rounds go through the bar terminal in seconds. As the evening picks up, floating staff log in on their own layout, orders from the app land straight at the bar or the kitchen screen, and happy-hour pricing switches itself off at the right time. At close, the manager pulls the night’s sales and stock report without touching a spreadsheet.
