Hi guy's I've been googling for the last hour and I can't seem to find exactly the product I need they mostly seem to be for restaurants.

I'm opening up a small takeaway/delivery shop soon and rather than use pen/paper solutions to write my orders I am wanting to setup a EPOS system where a person can take the order front of house on a PC where the till is located or take the order on a phone and be able to input the data either into a laptop or a wireless tablet/phone device. I'm wanting there to be a printer at 2 locations one in the kitchen and one front of house.
A lot of these systems don't seem to allow customers details to be put in on the fly easy and they want payment instantly - in my situation if a customer is getting a ordered delivered the business will only receive the money once the driver has returned.

Anyone got any experience with this? Would be much appreciated i'd rather pay a one off cost even if it is high rather than a monthly fee.
 
They will just be small printing using one of those machines that prints things like card payments etc but my reason is not for pen costs lol it's for improved service being able to process orders better and more accurately.
 
Have a word with a company called torex they handled all the pos/tills/printers/PDQs at my old place. They're overpriced on hardware but have some solid software you can purchase on a one off I believe.
 
Kitchen printers tend to be dot matrix models as thermal print outs fade in the heat. Also allows for two-ply stationary.
 
All EPoS is overpriced, and all of it is terrible in different areas. The trick is finding the least terrible option for your requirements, and hoping that you can afford it.
 
You could use something like SalesVu which uses iPad hardware which can connect to network thermal printers. Don't know if you would consider the price expensive, but I know someone who uses it for their hotel bar and restaurant, and says it is the rest he found.

I own a few fast food outlets. I'm impressed with that. Seems far more streamlined and intuitive than epos
