POS for take-away restaurants
EPOS systems can be tailored to suit specific restaurant or take away business requirements, though not many company owners are made aware of this when they sign up to a merchant account.
Once company owners and managers know what their business requirements are, there are a number of options available to help stream line operations. We have put together a comprehensive guide to EPOS systems for takeaways or restaurants that covers all the ‘must know’ elements and added benefits these systems can bring to your business.
Customer Information
An EPOS system for takeaways can store customer information such as name, phone number and delivery address to speed up transactions and improve customer service. Incoming calls can be connected to existing customer data from previous orders to streamlining transactions, save time and ultimately improve customer relationships. This data is valuable and can allow business owners to understand their consumer demographic and build out marketing strategies based on this insight.
Menu Systems and Stock Control
Having a pre-programmed menu system included in your takeaway EPOS will save time and some companies charge extra fees for this service however, it’s worth the cost. Plus, if done correctly this will help you manage stock control. For example, when using a EPOS for a pizza takeaway, the user selects a Hawaiian – all ingredients will be reduced from current stock levels.

We can also help set you up with a merchant account for your take-away, which is essential for anybody to start taking card payments. Many EPOS companies make a good portion of their money by cross-selling merchant accounts, payment gateways and card readers along with their system – all as part of their “package” and done for you. The issue with this is that they will usually prioritise the merchant account provided with the company that offers them the most referral commission, rather than the company that is ideal for your business.
