POS system in the UK

Plenty of UK shops and cafés are well served by a packaged till from a card provider, and we will tell you if you are one of them. Operix builds custom POS software for the businesses those tills do not fit: trade counters with account customers, shops with unusual pricing or stock rules, and sites that need the till to feed their own ERP. Setup and training are done remotely from Karachi.

Set up for the UK

VAT on every receipt
Prices in pounds, VAT worked out per line from the code on the item, 20% for standard-rated goods, and a VAT summary in each day's closing report.
Card and contactless
Chip and PIN, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay are taken on your payment provider's terminal. We check what that terminal can connect to before promising the till will pass it the amount.
When a custom till earns its place
Trade accounts, customer price lists, deposits, repairs and made-to-order items: the jobs a standard till handles badly are the reason to build one.

POS system

What the POS does

The same POS system we build everywhere, with the local setup above for the UK.

Fast billing

Barcode scanning, quick keys for best sellers, discounts within limits you set, and receipts on thermal printers.

Restaurant orders

Tables, takeaway and delivery on one screen, with kitchen tickets that print by station.

Stock that moves with the sale

Every item sold comes off stock at that branch, and recipes deduct ingredients for restaurants.

Cash and card closing

Opening float, cash, card and wallet payments, and a shift closing report that shows what should be in the drawer.

Branches and head office

Each branch sells on its own; head office sees every branch's sales and stock live.

Works through a bad connection

Billing continues when the internet drops and syncs when it is back.

Questions

POS system in the UK: what people ask

Should we simply buy an off-the-shelf till?

If you sell standard products over one counter, usually yes: it is quicker to set up and the provider looks after the hardware locally. A custom POS is worth building when your pricing, stock or account customers do not fit a packaged product.

Who installs the hardware if you are not in the UK?

You or your local IT supplier connect the printer, scanner and card terminal while we guide the setup on a video call. We do not supply or repair hardware in the UK, so buy it from someone who can replace it quickly.
