iPad POS solution for UK

Hi All,

I am investigating using the iPad as the core of an EPOS system. I see that companies like Revell (http://revelsystems.com/) cator for the US markets but do we have anything like this in the UK. I am a business owner opening a new bar and am looking for better, newer and cost effective solutions to our till needs. We already have two iPads so it would be good not to have to spend on costly touch screen pc's when we have half the hardware already!


Any thoughs would be great 🙂

Thanks,

Phil

iPad, iOS 4.3.2

Hi Phil


I am looking for the same products as you describe, so far I've found if it helps;

however both have monthly subscription fee's, does anyone know of a similiar product that has a single one off payment that would suit me better?


Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,


I just came across this thread and would like to reiterate what TMGieske has said. POSLavu is a fantasic bit of software that, in conjunction with iPad features, offers a complete, all-in-one solution. Not only does it operate as a till, allowing access to real time data from any number of sites, but also allows you to control your audio, lighting, heating and security through a single device, from anywhere with an internet connection.


There are a limited number of distributors in the UK, and currently the only distributor in the South of England currently is The IT Guys (http://www.the-itguys.co.uk/?page_id=121). Not only can we provide the hardware at discounted rates, but we will also upload your menus/product lists, install the hardware, provide training and ongoing support.


We have completed installations in the City of London Distillery, The Lazy Cow in Solihull and several other sites. Please contact sales@the-iyguys.co.uk for a quote, more information or a free demo. We operate a "No Hard Sale" policy, so if you just want to have a chat and learn more, that's fine!

If you are looking for an iPad point of sale for a small restaurants or coffee shop, you should check out Lavu Lite. They are the only Free iPad point of saleon the market that is geared towards restaurants, with all the features you need. It is really intuitive and takes about 2 minutes to get the account set up, including credit card processing and you can start using it right away! I hope this helps.

Well, it looks like I'm a bit late to this party; however I'd like to give my company a mention as well.


We have folks across the UK selling Ambur POS - an affordable iPad based system built for restaurants. We integrate with Epson and Star Micronics printers, any RJ-12 compatible cash drawer, and all Apple touch devices, whether it be the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, or iPod Touch.


We're soon to launch Ambur 2.0, here's a screen shot of our new interface:

Although this thread is getting a little old now, I think we should throw in our tuppence worth. Intelligent Point of Sale (iPos) is the first UK home grown iPad POS software. It's a native iPad application and works offline. We cater for retail and hospitality operators with two different operating modes. The system can handle modifiers, promotions, drag and drop button layouts, drag and drop table plans, integrates with till drawers and kitchen/receipt printers plus loads more. We have free, UK based support included with every package.


For more info please check out www.i-pos.co.uk, you can now download iPos from the app store and sign up at www.iposwebservices.co.uk for a free trial account.


Thanks for your time.

We're a small business and we decided to go on iPad POS deployment and started researching. We chose Maclocks iPad POS stand since it is the most secured way to use your iPad as a POS plus its design is awesome and takes 2 minutes to set it up! They have it for iPad mini too.


You can also see Maclocks iPad POS stand in action right here: http://youtu.be/0GaFCt-JDyg
