Empowering Irish Businesses with Mobile Card Machines & Electronic POS Systems
If you run a café, bar, restaurant or retail shop in Dublin, Cork, Galway or anywhere in Ireland, the right EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) system will speed up service, cut errors and tie your card machines directly into sales, stock and reporting.

How to choose the right EPOS (5-Step Checklist)
1. Map your workflows
Do you need table service, split bills, modifiers, or advanced stock control? A café in Tipperary doesn’t need the same setup as a multi-site restaurant in Dublin. Build your EPOS around daily operations, not the other way around.
2. Decide on devices
Choose between a fixed till, iPad/tablet-based EPOS, portable handhelds, or Tap to Pay / softPOS for roaming staff. Match the devices to your floor plan — and make sure they connect seamlessly with your card machines.
3. Verify integrations
Look beyond the till: does the system link to your accounting software (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks), ecommerce site, or delivery platforms like Deliveroo and Flipdish? Integrations save hours of admin every week.
4. Pressure-test payments
Payments must be bullet-proof. Check for offline mode, 4G backup, and next-day settlement. Confirm the provider is PCI DSS compliant and supports Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) as required by the Central Bank of Ireland.
5. Check total cost of ownership
Don’t just compare licence fees. Factor in the cost of tills, integrated card machines, printers, training, support, and contract terms. Watch for long lock-ins and hidden fees.

EPOS vs POS vs softPOS — what’s the difference in Ireland?
When comparing POS systems in Ireland, it helps to understand the terminology. Many cafés, bars, and restaurants use these terms interchangeably, but there are key differences:
POS (Point of Sale):
The basic till or system that lets you take payments through card machines or cash. Think of it as the hardware and software needed to process a transaction at the counter.
EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale):
A full POS system with added software for inventory management, reporting, staff scheduling, and CRM. Most modern EPOS in Ireland are cloud-based, so you can access sales data remotely and sync with accounting software or delivery platforms.
softPOS / Tap to Pay:
Lets you accept contactless card and mobile wallet payments directly on a smartphone, with no dedicated terminal. It’s ideal for pop-ups, food trucks, events, or as a backup to your main card machine. Pair softPOS with a full EPOS to cover stock control and receipts.
Other terms worth knowing:
iPad POS: An iPad-based EPOS setup, popular for cafés and quick-service restaurants. Easy to install and scale.
mPOS (mobile POS): Small, portable card readers paired with a phone or tablet app. Best for delivery, market stalls, or on-the-go service.
KDS (Kitchen Display System): A screen in the kitchen that shows orders directly from the POS/EPOS, reducing errors and speeding up food prep.
QR Ordering: Customers scan a QR code to order and pay from their phones, with orders routed straight into your EPOS and card payment system.
If you’re running a café or restaurant in Ireland, you’ll likely need a full EPOS with integrated card machines, but knowing when to use softPOS, iPad POS, or KDS can make your operations faster and more flexible.
