Takeaway EPOS cost:
what to compare.
The price of a takeaway EPOS is more than the monthly fee. Compare the hardware, the monthly charge, card processing rates, contract length, what happens if you leave and whether online ordering costs extra. We quote per shop, so ask every supplier the same questions.
The six things that make up the real cost
Hardware
Bought, rented or included, and who replaces it when it breaks.
Monthly fee
What it covers, and whether each extra till, screen or app is charged on top.
Card processing
The rate and whether you are tied to one provider.
Online ordering
Whether it is included, or a separate fee, or a percentage of each order.
Contract length
Minimum term, notice period and what automatic renewal means.
Leaving
Whether your menu and customer list can be exported and who owns them.
Questions to ask every supplier
Is there any percentage of my orders, on any channel? What happens to my customer data if I leave? Does the till work offline? Who do I ring at nine on a Friday night, and how fast do they answer?
Put the same questions to every supplier and write the answers down side by side.
