EPOS Systems for Pubs

An Epos System for your pub not only should be a necessity, but will likely prove the best investment that you make for your public house

The great British institution, the PUB!

If you walk into a great British pub you will be guaranteed a few things.

You’ll be met usually by a bubbly barmaid/barman, you’ll be offered some real ale, you’ll be able to soak up the British pub atmosphere whilst sipping on your new pint and the Pub would have processed your order through an EPOS system.

EPOS systems for pubs are an integral part of ensuring the smooth running of an establishment, think of it as an extra pair of hands or 10, your pub EPOS system will work out your stock, tell you when to re order, let you know what lines are selling well and what lines just are not worth continuing with. What flavour of crisps are most popular, build marketing lists, ensure you know your customers favourite orders and much much more.

If you combine your pub Epos system with one of our mobile payment terminals you can also benefit from lightning order speeds reducing queuing times to ensure more drinks are poured.

Yes – all our EPOS systems can integrate with our payment providers and our collection of payment devices also. Being able to try all our epos software together with the payment devices that integrate is a big plus for customers looking for the right solution.

Where does the order print to?

Most of our EPOS has the option to split the printing between Wet and dry tickets, this allows you to divert tickets to the bar or the kitchen or keep them all together on one ticket. We can give you a demo of how these EPOS platforms work.

Can my waiter have a mini EPOS that speaks with the till?

Yes – most of the modern-day EPOS systems have Waiter mode so that the waiter or waitress can take orders at the table and send the order back to the bar or kitchen. This speeds up service and offers efficiency within the business.

What's the best EPOS system for my business?

We like to do things a little differently at Modern World Business Solutions, we will not shove one type of EPOS System down your throat, we will work with you to identify the best product for your requirements.

Do EPOS systems give me reports?

Yes – All of our EPOS systems have portals and dashboards that deliver all your important management information and keep you up to date with vital information to keep your business operating and optimum levels. You can look at your EPOS system as an extra staff member as it delivers you essential information daily.

What is the connectivity required for EPOS?

All our EPOS needs to be connected via WIFI or a LAN connection, the same applies for the printers – Whilst most EPOS systems need to be connected to transact, some work offline for up to 30 days so if you had any connectivity problems the EPOS will still synchronise with the reporting and stock management.

What support do I get for EPOS?

All our EPOS brands offer fantastic support levels, but again this is tailored to each independent merchant. We can offer light support of full 24/7 support, all of this is discussed when putting together your EPOS package at Modern World Business solutions.

Who supports the EPOS?

Our EPOS is supported by software providers. You will have a direct line into the most suitable support team for your EPOS. However, we at Modern World will be on hand to help you with any additional support on hardware and other issues.

What does EPOS stand for?

EPOS stands for Electronic Point of Sale.

What businesses usually need an EPOS system?

You will most likely see EPOS systems behind the bars or counters of hospitality or retail stores, restaurants, pubs, clubs, and bars, coffee shops, and bistros would be ideal candidates to get set up with an EPOS system. Also, all retail stores that have an emphasis on stock reporting and speed of service would benefit from an EPOS System.

How long is the contract on my EPOS system?

We have lots of different options for our EPOS Systems at Modern World Business Solutions, we can offer you contract length as short as a 30 day rolling contract or we can build you something that fits and put you into a 48 month contract – whatever you feel comfortable with is the contract length that you should sign into.

Does my EPOS system help with stock control?

Yes! – this is one MAJOR benefit to all EPOS systems and should be implemented by any user of EPOS systems, especially in the world of hospitality, managing your stock can all be done through your EPOS system. So much so that your EPOS can even be programmed to send purchase orders to your suppliers once a product is running low enough to reorder. Now that is efficiency!

How long does it take to set my EPOS system up?

If you just need EPOS without the payment element, then we can set you up within a week usually, if you need it quicker it is always worth a quick conversation to see if we can support you. If you require payments, then we need to put you forward for a MID – this sometimes takes a week to 10 days to get approved. But we can always get your EPOS populated whilst we are waiting for the payments.

Will my EPOS system have table ordering?

Most of our EPOS systems also now have table ordering apps that integrate. The recent pandemic has sped up the inevitable need for self-ordering and table ordering whether stand-alone or integrated is here to stay. We also have developed our table ordering software called Tapldoo that our partners and merchants can either have stand-alone or they can integrate into the EPOS system Smart Volution.

Is there a setup fee for my EPOS system?

There is no setup fee for our EPOS systems as we can set you all up remotely, however, if you would like either an engineer to visit to set you up or like us to build your menu for you then a setup fee would apply.

Who sets up the menu on my new EPOS system?

All our EPOS systems are user-friendly – so you can add the menu yourself. After training of course. But if you want to get it set up super quick and would like us to build your menu for you then we can do this for you also – a set up fee will apply.

Do I get training on my new EPOS system?

Yes of course – we will ensure that you are given adequate training by the team most suited for your new EPOS system before you are left to your own devices to start using it. The team will support you until you are comfortable to be left to operate it alone.
