Food and drink
Speed at the hatch, not depth in the back office.
Bars, food trucks and kiosks sell forty things, fast, to a queue that can see you. What matters is how few taps a round takes and whether the card machine argues. Table maps and course timing are not what we do — the till is.
Always the same deal
$5 a month, per business
0.4% + 1¢ on top of Stripe
The reader is yours, bought once
Free shipping with a plan
A day on this counter
What the job actually asks of a till, before anyone talks about features.
The lunch rush
A grid of your actual menu, one tap per item, tap to pay. No searching, no scrolling through categories you do not use.
Rounds and tabs
Open a tab, add to it, close it on card or cash. Split the bill across two cards when the table asks.
Modifiers
Oat milk, extra shot, no ice — priced or free, attached to the line rather than shouted down the counter.
Cash-up at close
One shift report: cards, cash, tips and voids, against the drawer, before you lock the shutter.
What a hatch usually runs
One screen on the counter, one handheld for the terrace or the queue outside.
Free shipping when you buy hardware with the plan. Compare all three readers.
What it costs
No monthly per-till charge to swallow.
Hospitality POS is usually sold per terminal, per month, with a hardware lease on top. A truck with two points of sale should not be paying twice for the same software.
Account
$5 / month
Covers the counter screen, the handheld and the owner’s phone. Per business, not per till.
Per payment
0.4% + 1¢
On top of Stripe’s rate. Small tickets are where the flat cent matters — it is one cent, not fifteen.
Tips
Kept in full
Prompted on screen and paid out with the rest of your takings. We take nothing extra from a tip.
Stripe rates vary by country, card type and payment method. The 0.4% + 1¢ does not change, and neither does the $5.
Useful once you have a second site
Trucks and kiosks tend to want the location tools before anything else.

Questions from this trade
Do you do table service?
Open tabs and splitting, yes. Table maps, course timing and kitchen display screens, no. If you need those, a hospitality-specific POS will serve you better and we would rather say so.
Can I take tips?
Yes, prompted on the reader before payment, and paid out with your takings. We do not take a cut of them.
How fast is a round of four drinks?
Four taps and a tap to pay, on a menu grid you lay out yourself.
What about a printer for the kitchen?
The counter printer plugs into the S700. A second one can be added through the order wizard.
Will it work parked with bad signal?
On mobile data, yes. Sales queue through dropouts and sync when the signal returns.
Two hundred and forty-nine dollars, and the queue moves.
A WisePOS E works on its own. Add the counter terminal when the pitch becomes permanent.
