Frequently Asked Questions
Do your terminals work with my existing EPOS system?
In most cases, yes. We are compatible with over 50 EPOS systems used across UK hospitality, including Lightspeed, Square, Tevalis, Zonal, Access Hospitality, Aloha and more. We confirm compatibility with your specific system before you sign anything.
Can customers split the bill at the terminal?
Yes. Split-bill payments are natively supported on all our hospitality terminals – customers can divide the bill between any number of cards without any manual workarounds.
Do you offer QR code table ordering?
Yes. Our Order & Pay add-on allows customers to scan a QR code at the table, browse your digital menu and pay directly from their smartphone – reducing staff pressure during busy services. Ask about this when requesting your quote
How quickly can we be up and running?
Most hospitality businesses are fully set up and taking payments within 48 hours of signing. We handle delivery, configuration and EPOS integration – you do not need to do the technical work.
What happens if our terminal breaks during a Friday night service?
Call our UK support team – available 24/7 – and we will arrange a replacement terminal to reach you within 24 hours. We understand that downtime in hospitality is not just inconvenient, it is revenue lost.
Can we add a service charge automatically at checkout?
Yes. Our terminals support configurable optional or automatic service charges, displayed clearly on the payment screen before the customer confirms payment.
