Systems & Solutions
I don't sell systems. I recommend the right one for your business.
There's a question I ask before I recommend anything: does the till talk to the card machine?
That sounds obvious. It isn't.
Most pubs and restaurants run two separate systems from two separate companies. Your till does one thing, your card machine does another, and they don't share information. When something goes wrong, you ring one company and they point you to the other. You spend your morning bouncing between two support lines instead of running your business.
Every system I recommend solves that problem from day one.
One system. One set of reports. One call when something goes wrong. Integrated doesn't just mean the till and card machine are from the same brand. It means they share data in real time, so your end-of-day reconciliation is automatic, your reports are accurate, and there's no gap between what the till says and what the card machine processed.
Where possible I go further than that. With Square's Register product, for example, the card reader is physically built into the customer-facing display. No separate terminal. No wifi link to drop. No ambiguity about whose problem it is when something goes wrong.
That's the standard I work to. Every time.
Brands I trust
Vendor-neutral means I pick what's right, not what pays the most.
I'm not tied to one brand. I work with a small group of providers I've tested, used in my own businesses, and trust to deliver. When I review your setup, I'm choosing between them based on what your business actually needs, not what earns me the highest margin.
Square
Fully integrated till and card processing, with the option of the Register, where the card reader is built directly into the customer display. Clean, reliable, and ideal for single-site operators who want everything in one place.
Teya
Competitive card processing rates with reliable hardware. A strong option where cost efficiency is the priority.
Sunmi
Robust, affordable hardware that works across multiple platforms. Punches well above its weight for the price.
Loyverse
Free EPOS software that does the job well for smaller venues. I pair it with the right card processing solution for the business.
Elavon
One of the larger payment processors. Particularly well suited to businesses with higher transaction volumes.
Shift4
Hospitality-focused payments and technology with strong integration credentials.
Liberis / YouLend
Revenue-based business funding for when you need it. Not a bank, not a loan shark. Finance that works with your cash flow rather than against it.
Kuulseats
Reservation and table management that connects directly into your till, so front of house and back of house are always talking to each other.
This list isn't fixed. Providers earn their place by delivering. If they stop, they lose it. That's the point of being independent.
Nine times out of ten, it's your internet.
Before I look at your till or your card machine, I ask about your wifi. Most of the tech problems I get called about aren't hardware or software failures. They're connectivity. A weak or unstable connection drops card payments, freezes your till mid-service, and sends your kitchen printer offline at 7pm on a Friday. This is why I now offer dedicated Starlink satellite installations for hospitality venues as part of my managed solution. Fast, reliable, and completely separate from your venue's general broadband. It solves the problem most people didn't realise they had, and removes the single biggest cause of EPOS and card machine failures at source.
Not sure which system is right for you?
That's exactly why you should talk to me first. I'll go through your current setup, ask the right questions, and recommend something that actually fits.
With no obligation and no sales pitch.
