Takeaway EPOS system

One till. One menu. Every channel.

A fast, purpose-built EPOS for UK takeaways and restaurants. Walk-ins, phone, online, kiosks and aggregators all land in the same kitchen — and close the night on one report.

Most "restaurant POS" products are fine-dining tills with delivery bolted on. Andromeda started in fast-food. Large-button tills, keyboard-shortcut order taking, rapid driver dispatch, kitchen printing by station, postcode-based delivery zones — all native, not retrofitted.

Every order, in full detail.

Customer, items, modifiers, allergens, dispatch status, payment — one screen, no tabs to chase. The same view your team uses on the till, at the pass, on a tablet behind the counter or on a mobile when they're between sites.

Tap to accept, reprint, refund, transfer or dispatch. Every action is logged against the order so end-of-night reconciles itself.

Andromeda KDS

The kitchen on one screen.

Bin the paper. Tickets land on a colour-coded screen with elapsed timers, allergen flags and routing per station. Bump when it's up, recall if it isn't. The pass stays in sync with the floor and the drivers.

Routes by product, not by order — so the grill, prep bench, fryer and bar all run in parallel even when the queue is twenty deep.

Built for peak service, not for demo videos.

Fast where it matters

Under-one-second order entry. Offline-capable till. No spinners between you and the customer.

Designed by operators

Our team has worked every side of the counter. The layout makes sense because it was built in a kitchen.

One menu, everywhere

Change a price once. It flows to till, website, app, kiosk and every aggregator. No spreadsheet gymnastics.

A Friday-night order entered, totalled and sent to the kitchen in under ten seconds.

Take an order in six keystrokes.

Staff don't have time to hunt through menus on a Friday night. Number-pad shortcuts, modifier memory and repeat-order recall mean a trained order taker can ring a standard family order in under ten seconds. Cheap tills fall over here — Andromeda was designed for it.

Kitchen tickets print to the right station automatically. Driver dispatch is one button. End-of-night close is one report.

What an EPOS built for takeaways actually needs.

Fast order entry

Large touch targets, keyboard shortcuts, repeat-customer recall and modifier memory. Built for Friday-night volume, not leisurely service.

Kitchen printing by station

Hot food to the grill, cold items to the prep bench, drinks to the bar. Printers route by product, not by order — so the kitchen runs in parallel.

Driver & dispatch

Driver cash-in, reassignment, multi-drop, postcode-based delivery zones. Uber Direct and Stuart available when your drivers are maxed out.

Integrated card payments

Chip and PIN terminals push the amount from the till — no re-keying, no mismatched totals. Stripe powers online card fees under one reconciliation.

Pay by Link

Send a secure payment link by SMS or email for phone orders, deposits, catering and account customers. Lands straight in the till — no card-over-the-phone risk. See Pay by Link.

One menu, every channel

Till, online, app, kiosk and aggregators all run off the same menu. Change a 12" pizza price in one place — it updates everywhere at once.

End-of-day on one page

Cash, card, online, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat — consolidated into a single close report. No spreadsheet reconciliation, no end-of-night argument.

"We had three screens open every night — till, online, and the aggregator tablet. Moving to Andromeda meant one menu, one till and one end-of-night number. The kids who work weekends pick it up in an afternoon."

Questions takeaway owners ask.

Is Andromeda a proper EPOS or just ordering bolted onto a till?

It's a full purpose-built EPOS. The till, kitchen printer, driver dispatch, stock and payments all run on the same platform as the online ordering — one menu, one database, one set of end-of-day numbers.

How long does it take to install in a takeaway?

A single-site takeaway or restaurant is typically live in 1–2 weeks. We handle menu build, hardware configuration, card-terminal integration and staff training. Multi-site rollouts follow a staged plan.

Does the EPOS include integrated card payments?

Yes. Chip and PIN terminals integrate directly with the till — the amount is pushed from till to terminal, no re-keying, no mismatches. Stripe-powered online payments run through the same account so reconciliation is one report, not three.

Can the EPOS handle drivers, dispatch and delivery?

Driver dispatch, driver-cash-in, reassignment, delivery tracking and route summaries are all built in. Uber Direct and Stuart are available as on-demand courier fallbacks when your own drivers are maxed out.

Does the EPOS connect to Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat?

Yes — aggregator orders print to the same kitchen tickets as walk-ins and direct orders. You manage one menu and your reports consolidate every channel so you can see where the real margin comes from.

What does a takeaway EPOS system cost?

A low flat monthly fee per site plus transparent card processing — no percentage-per-order commission. Pricing depends on site count and hardware; we'll quote on a short discovery call.

What it connects to.

A proper takeaway EPOS. Not a fine-dining till in fancy dress.
