EPOS systems in London
London counters are smaller and busier than anywhere else we install. That changes the hardware conversation before it changes anything else — footprint first, then speed, then everything else.
What we set up in London
The single most common thing we get asked in London is whether it will fit. Counter depth in a Zone 2 coffee shop or a high-street takeaway is often under 500mm, which rules out a lot of all-in-one terminals with deep bases. It is worth measuring before anyone quotes you hardware.
The second is speed. A lunchtime rush in the City or Canary Wharf is a different problem from a steady day in a market town — you are optimising for seconds per transaction, contactless throughput and a queue that does not spill onto the pavement.
The third thing, and it catches people out, is what happens when you open a second site. London owners expand more often than anywhere else we work, usually into a unit that trades quite differently from the first. It is worth asking any supplier now whether adding a second till means a second system and a second product list, or one product file with two counters reporting into it.
What London businesses ask for most
- Compact terminals for shallow counters
- Fast contactless throughput at peak
- Delivery platform orders landing in one queue
- Multi-site reporting for owners with two or three shops
A typical London setup
London setups are decided by the counter before anything else. Where depth is tight we specify a compact terminal rather than a deep all-in-one base, and we will tell you if what you want physically will not sit properly. Beyond that it is about throughput: a scanner positioned for one-handed use, a card machine taking the total straight from the till, and a layout arranged around your fifteen fastest-selling lines rather than alphabetically.
- Compact terminal for shallow counters
- Card machine integrated to the till
- Barcode scanner sited for one-handed use
- Second payment point for peak trade
- Multi-site reporting where you run more than one shop

Install and support in London
London is a drive rather than a hop, so most people here start with an online demo and only book an on-site visit if they want to handle the hardware before deciding. Hardware is configured, paired and tested before it ships, so an install is a plug-in rather than a build. Support is a UK phone number with a person on it, which matters more than proximity once the system is running.
Whichever way you start, a free demo runs your own products on screen, and you get an itemised written quote afterwards with the term and the exit terms stated plainly. If you are moving from another supplier, our guide to switching without closing sets out the week.
London questions, answered
Do you supply EPOS systems in London?
Yes, across Greater London. Most London demos start online because owners cannot leave the counter mid-service, and we arrange an on-site visit if you want to handle the hardware first.
Will an EPOS terminal fit my London counter?
Measure the depth before you buy anything. Plenty of London counters are under 500mm and some all-in-one terminals will not sit properly. Tell us your measurement and we will tell you honestly what fits.
Can you connect Deliveroo and Just Eat orders in London?
In many setups, yes, so platform orders print in the kitchen alongside your counter orders instead of arriving on separate tablets. Ask us to confirm your specific platforms before you commit.
