The system we’d recommend.

We’re independent and sell four EPOS systems. For cafés, this is the one that fits best.

Best fit for most cafés

Pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels and venues

TouchPoint lite runs on a tablet, so it suits a café counter, with room to add handhelds, kitchen screens and loyalty.

Café EPOS questions.

The questions café owners ask us most.

What is the best EPOS system for a café?

For most cafés we recommend ICRTouch, often TouchPoint lite on a tablet. Café groups with three or more sites should also look at Boss It. We’re independent, so we recommend what fits.

Can customers order from their phone?

Yes. With ByTable, customers scan a code, order and pay from their own phone, and the order goes straight to the till.

Can I run a loyalty scheme?

Yes. Loyalty points, discounts and promotions are built into the till.

Will it work with my card machine?

Yes. We link Dojo or Teya card machines to the till, so the amount goes across without retyping. SumUp readers are an option for smaller set-ups.

How much does it cost?

It depends on how many tills, handhelds and screens you need, and which system suits you. Our EPOS cost guide explains what drives the price, and a free demo gets you a clear quote.

Do you cover my area?

Yes. We install and train across Northern Ireland, and look after businesses in the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain too, with Belfast-based support 24/7.
