Goodtill

While there have been reports of features being limited, technical issues getting started and usability challenges, EposNow offers a good range of essential functions for restaurants and the option to integrate with ecommerce and Deliveroo. You can also rent touchscreen PC terminals in equipment bundles if you can’t afford to purchase it upfront.

Goodtill – core features with multiple add-ons

 


  • Works online and offline
  • Customer support available
  • Runs on iPad only
  • 12 months’ commitment minimum

Goodtill – previously referred to as The Good Till Company – offers modular POS plans so you only get the features relevant to your business. First off, you subscribe to a hospitality EPOS software which you then add optional modules to. The Hospitality Module is most relevant to restaurants. The system works only on iPad, and the dashboard with analytics is accessed in a browser.

 

Goodtill gets good user reviews, but it is less clear when their support lines are open – we just know they offer customer support. Their online help section covers a good amount of topics, and they support a number of third party integrations.

Initially, it can seem like a cheap system at £29 a month per iPad, but the additional modules for a restaurant could make the final cost high. The core module includes decent reporting and basic POS features suitable for a variety of face-to-face businesses.

Restaurants would definitely need the Restaurant Module (£9) and possibly Kitchen Display (£9/month), Loyalty (£18), Advanced Promotions (£18), Customer-Facing Display (£9) and Goodeats online ordering (5% fee per transaction). Also note that all these prices are per month, and possibly on an annual plan (monthly plans are typically more expensive).

Pricing

Core POS Module: £29 + VAT/mo per till

Hospitality Module: £9 + VAT/mo per site

Optional Modules: £9-£29 + VAT/mo each

Goodtill can be used with several card machines from Square, Barclaycard, iZettle, SumUp and Paymentsense. Hardware can be purchased from Goodtill’s online store, but using your own equipment is also fine provided it is compatible.

Can you try it before committing? Yes, you can request a demo and free trial from the website. After submitting contact details, Goodtill will get in touch to discuss trial options.

iZettle Food & Drink – suits quick-service restaurants

 

Our rating

Works online, no offline mode

Support every day during work hours

Only runs on iPad

No contract, cancel any time

iZettle Food and Drink is a straightforward EPOS system made for small eateries, coffee shops and bars, but can be ideal for quick-service restaurants that don’t need to keep a tab on orders between tables. It runs on iPad and is synced in the cloud, but doesn’t work offline. It is easy to get started, and you can cancel it any time.



The POS system lets you add detailed food items, modify orders, analyse wastage, distinguish between eat-in and take-out VAT, send orders to a kitchen printer, and more. It does not include table plans and cannot (yet) connect with external food delivery platforms.

Food & Drink can send payment links directly from the checkout screen – ideal for socially distanced transactions. iZettle Reader is the only card terminal that integrates with the software, but the fixed 1.75% transaction fee for card reader payments suits many startups. Neither the POS system nor card reader come with contractual commitment.

iZettle offers customer support on weekdays between 8am-8pm and weekends between 9am-6pm through phone, email and live chat. The online help section provides some guidance on features, but doesn’t cover all feature topics yet. The company generally ranks highly for their service and products. In fact, it is the most popular mobile card reader provider in the UK.

Pricing

£29 + VAT/mo per iPad

1.75% card transaction fee with iZettle Reader

Compared to other restaurant till systems, the £29 + VAT licence per month is a low-cost subscription per till. However, additional iPad licences each cost the same, as opposed to other providers who typically reduce the price for extra registers. The costs can therefore easily rack up for a small business with many tills, making this solution economical mostly for small restaurants, cafés and bars.

Can you try it before committing? Yes, you can sign up for a commitment-free 7-day free trial.
