Bristol cafés and restaurants
POS system for Bristol cafés and restaurants
Bristol is a city of independents: the shops and cafés along Gloucester Road, the coffee and street food in the shipping-container units at Wapping Wharf, and the brunch places of Clifton and Stokes Croft. Café QR is a cloud POS built for small venues like these: the till, kitchen display, tabs and floor plan, bookings and cash-up run on a phone, tablet or laptop you already own, with QR table ordering built in.
Space needed
One tablet, or just a phone
Full POS
£39 per venue, per month
Contract
None
Part of a full POS
The till, the floor and the kitchen in one system.
- Counter till on any tablet, phone or laptop: cash with the change worked out, or card
- Waiter app, tabs, split bills and a live floor plan
- Kitchen screens by station and printed tickets
- Refunds, time clock and cash-up against your float
- Table QR and your own online page feed the same kitchen and takings
Where we are
Café QR is run from Liverpool, a few hours from Bristol by train. Setup is a screen-share in UK hours, and we build the menu and till with you before your first service.
01
A full till in a very small space
A container unit or a narrow counter has no room for a till terminal, a printer and a separate kitchen screen. Café QR runs in a browser, so the till can be a tablet on a stand or a phone in an apron pocket, and the kitchen screen can be a second cheap tablet.
Card payments can go through a linked card reader, or you can keep the card machine you have and record the payment on the till.
- Till on any tablet, phone or laptop
- Kitchen screen on a second device, or a printer
- Keep your own card machine if you like
02
Weekend brunch in Clifton and Stokes Croft
Brunch is long, busy and mostly booked. The POS plan includes your own booking page and a diary, and guests at the table can order another coffee from the QR code without waiting to catch someone's eye.
Allergen details sit on every dish and show to guests as they order, which helps with the questions that come up at every brunch table.
03
What it costs, plainly
The POS plan is £39 per venue, per month: the till, kitchen screen, waiter app, tabs and floor plan, table bookings, online ordering, self-order kiosk and cash-up. Order & Pay, just QR ordering and the kitchen screen, is £9.99. No setup fee, no contract, and the first month is free with no card.
We charge no platform fee or per-order commission. Stripe's card processing applies to online and table payments and is paid to Stripe.

Questions
Cafés and restaurants in Bristol ask
Can I run the till on my phone in a small unit?
Yes. Café QR runs in a browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, so you don't need a till terminal. A second tablet or a printer can act as the kitchen screen.
Can I keep my current card machine?
Yes. Take the payment on your machine and record it as card on the till, or link a supported card reader so the amount is sent for you.
What does it cost in Bristol?
The same as anywhere in the UK. The POS plan is £39 per venue, per month: the till, kitchen screen, waiter app, tabs and floor plan, table bookings, online ordering, self-order kiosk and cash-up. Order & Pay, just QR ordering and the kitchen screen, is £9.99. There is no contract and no commission.
Pricing
One price. Every table. No commission.
You pay the same each month whether guests order fifty times or five thousand. We never take a share of your orders, and guest payments go straight into your own account.
What a 5% commission per order would cost you
| Monthly table sales | 5% commission | Café QR |
|---|---|---|
| £5,000 | £250 | £9.99 |
| £10,000 | £500 | £9.99 |
| £20,000 | £1,000 | £9.99 |
Card and wallet payments go through your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard rate, paid to Stripe. We add nothing on top.
