What is a full-service restaurant EPOS?
A till system built around table service rather than a counter. Orders are taken at the table on a handheld, sent to the kitchen or bar by course, and the bill is settled where the diner is sitting. Items that sell out are marked unavailable before the next table orders them. The card machine, the till and the kitchen screen are one system, so the end-of-night figure matches the takings.
We set restaurants up on Square for Restaurants, then fit it on your tables and at your pass, in person across the East Midlands or remotely anywhere in the UK.
Give your restaurant the edge.
Take orders and payment at the table
Servers take the order on a handheld and it reaches the kitchen before they've left the table. The bill is paid tableside, split however the diners want, with tipping on screen. Fewer trips to a till, faster turns, no handwritten dockets to misread. Kit: Square Handheld, Square Terminal.
Front of house and kitchen in sync
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders route to the right station automatically. Courses fire when you send them, not when the ticket was taken. Ticket layouts, timers and alerts are set to match your kitchen. Kit: Square KDS, kitchen printer.
See the numbers that matter
Sales by item, by server and by hour. Comps and voids. Covers per shift against labour. Staff hours tracked on the till so payroll prep takes minutes. Kit: Square Dashboard, Square Shifts.
Treat regulars like regulars
Connect OpenTable or SevenRooms so bookings and table status sit next to the order. Gift cards for the quiet months, and email campaigns to the customer list you build with every payment. Kit: booking integrations, Square Marketing (add-on), Square Gift Cards.
Why restaurants choose Atlas.
- Your menu is built before we arriveEvery dish with its modifiers, every course set, every allergen noted. Staff train on the real menu, not a demo.
- Fitted on site, not posted in a boxAcross the East Midlands we come out, place the kit and train whoever is on shift. Elsewhere in the UK we ship it configured and set it up with you on a call.
- One number afterwardsThe person who specced it is the person who answers. Not a ticket queue, not a call centre.
What we’d fit.
A Register at the pass or host stand, a handheld per section, and a kitchen screen. Smaller rooms swap the screen for a printer.
Works with what you already use.
We check the apps you already pay for before anything is ordered.
Restaurant questions, answered.
Can my servers take orders and payment at the table?
Yes. A Square Handheld takes the order, sends it to the kitchen and takes the payment, including split bills and tips, without the server leaving the table.
Does it do courses and table plans?
Coursing, floor plans and seat numbers are on the Square for Restaurants Plus plan; table management is on the free plan. We tell you which plan you actually need before you commit; many smaller rooms run well on the free plan.
What happens when the internet drops mid-service?
Square Terminal, Register and Handheld keep taking payments offline and upload them when the connection returns, within 24 hours to be safe. Contactless cards need a connection, phone wallets don't, which is why we check the signal in your building before we spec anything.
Can I keep my kitchen printers and cash drawer?
Often, yes. Many printers, cash drawers and routers are compatible. We check what you have before quoting anything new.
How long does it take to switch?
Days, not weeks. Send your menu as a PDF or photo and we build it. We fit on a quiet day, run through a service with you, and you can be live the same week.
Will it work for more than one site?
Yes. One dashboard covers every location, with menus, reporting and gift cards shared or kept separate as you choose.
