Restaurant EPOS system
Restaurant EPOS system — browser-based, no POS licence
A restaurant EPOS should run your whole front of house, not just take card payments. VoiceMenu's browser-based EPOS handles tills, table and QR ordering, kitchen and bar screens, bookings and reporting — on affordable hardware you own, with no per-till licence and your own payments. It's one platform, set up and supported by us.

| Kitchen and bookings | Extra modules or integrations | Kitchen screens and bookings built in |
| Payments | Often tied to their processor | Your own provider, next-day funds |
| Setup and support | DIY or paid install | Set up and run by us |
What a restaurant EPOS should actually do
Taking payment is the easy part. A modern restaurant EPOS should run the whole front of house: take every order type into one queue, send tickets to the kitchen and bar screens, manage tables and bookings, take payment, and give you reporting you can act on. If those live in separate systems, your staff become the integration.
Why browser-based wins
A browser-based EPOS needs no per-till licence and runs on affordable hardware you own — a touchscreen mini-PC or a laptop. It updates automatically, and adding a till (or a whole new station) takes minutes, not a hardware order. You're not locked into one vendor's terminals.
One platform, not a stack of tools
The hidden cost of most setups is the seams between tools. VoiceMenu keeps the till, ordering, kitchen, bookings, delivery and AI on one platform with a single menu — so an item you 86 is gone everywhere, and your numbers reconcile because they come from one place. See the all-in-one approach.
Commission-free ordering built in
Your EPOS should also be your ordering channel. VoiceMenu includes your own commission-free ordering site, so direct orders land in the same queue as the till — no marketplace cut. See what going direct would save you.
