The problem

Why a restaurant needs ePOS built for service

Restaurant software is judged at eight on a Saturday, not in a demo. A restaurant ePOS earns its place by making service faster and the numbers honest.

Check your approval odds

The bill is part of the meal

A great evening ends flat when the bill takes three trips, a card machine hunt and a queue at the till. Order and payment on the same portable device means the table settles in one visit, tips prompted, splits handled, done.

Mistakes live in the gaps

Orders re-keyed between a pad, a till and a card machine pick up errors at every hop, and the wrong bill at the wrong table costs more than money. One device carrying the order from seat to settlement removes the hops.

Close should take minutes

When sales and payments are the same record, the end of service is one report that already agrees with itself. One report, checked in minutes, is how the whole team gets home on time.

The fix

Service, from first order to final bill

The setup is scoped with your specialist around your floor, your menu and how your team actually runs service.

Pay at the table

The A920 Pro travels to the guest, presents the bill, prompts the tip and takes the payment, contactless, Chip and PIN or wallet, with a printed or digital receipt on the spot.

QR ordering and kitchen displays

Guests order and reorder by QR code from the table, orders flow straight to the kitchen display, and the round of drinks nobody had to flag a server for lands on the bill automatically.

Tips and splits, civilised

Tipping prompts guests understand and split bills handled at the device in seconds, with gratuities captured cleanly in the reporting for your accounting.

Deposits and functions attached

Pay by Link takes table deposits and function payments on the same account, so the diary and the floor settle together.

Phone and online orders joined

The virtual terminal covers phoned-in collections and online ordering runs alongside, every channel landing in the same end-of-day.

Disputes handled for you

Clear descriptors guests recognise and real chargeback support behind them, so the rare dispute is fought with evidence while you run service.

What our merchants say

Fair. So here is what UK merchants say after switching to eCom Pay, in their own words.

★★★★★

No hidden fees, best so far

It was such a pleasure working with eCom Pay for my company, very straightforward to set up and the team were so helpful. No hidden fees, cost efficient, and from using other platforms before I can say this has been the best so far.

★★★★★

Simpler than the big names

We found eCom Pay to be a simple, efficient payment system to integrate, with a lot of support behind it. Would recommend them over competitors who charge far too much.

Set up fast, better rates

Great customer service from eCom Pay. Needed a card reader for my business, they had me set up fast and gave me better rates than the last company. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

Always answers when I need help

Would highly recommend. Easy, simple, and always answers when I need help. The best payment gateway I have come across, with a wide variety of packages available.

Approval, prepared

Getting set up is refreshingly simple

Restaurant ePOS applications are straightforward when they are processed properly. Three things cover most of it, and your specialist walks you through each one.

Start your application

The business basics

Company or sole trader details, your premises and your food business registration where it applies. Paperwork a trading restaurant already has to hand.

Your takings, roughly

Card turnover if you know it, honest estimates if you are opening. Rates are agreed against your real numbers, the way River Spice halved theirs.

Where the money should land

Your business bank details, so next working day settlement has somewhere to go. That is genuinely most of it, and approval takes 24 hours once your documents are in.

Staying protected

Fitting the ePOS to your service

Every floor runs differently, and the configuration follows yours.

01

Table service

Portable devices carry the whole journey to the seat, order, bill, tip and payment, with the kitchen fed as orders land.

02

Counter service

A fixed device at the counter takes the order and the payment in one exchange, keeping the queue at coffee-shop speed.

03

The mixed floor

Counter at lunch, tables at dinner, the same account runs both, and your specialist scopes the device mix that fits.

04

Busy season, priced in

December bookings and summer terraces are written into the account at underwriting, so your best weeks read as your best weeks.

FAQs

Restaurant ePOS, straight answers

What does a restaurant ePOS do?

It runs service, orders, the bill, tips, splits and the card payment, on one system, with eCom Pay putting all of it on portable PAX Android terminals. The sale and the payment become one record, so service is faster and the close already agrees with itself.

Can guests pay at the table?

Yes, that is the heart of it. The A920 Pro travels to the guest with the bill, prompts the tip, handles splits and takes contactless, Chip and PIN or wallet payments, with a receipt printed or sent on the spot.

How are tips handled?

Prompted at the device in a way guests understand, and captured cleanly in the reporting behind it, so gratuities and service charge flow into your accounting without a spreadsheet argument at the end of the month.

Does it work for counter service too?

Yes. A fixed terminal at the counter runs the same system, and mixed floors combine portable and fixed devices on one account, scoped with your specialist around how you actually serve.

What does it cost?

Hardware is bought outright with £0 minimum monthly billing and one transparent software fee, and transaction rates are agreed against your actual takings. A specialist sets out the whole offer in plain terms before you commit.

How quickly can we go live?

Approval takes 24 hours once your documents are in, and the configured hardware typically arrives within the week, set up for your menu and tested before first service.
