Eposvo

Choosing a till is one of the few decisions in a restaurant you make once and then live inside every shift for five years. What makes it hard is that the three things you are actually buying arrive priced separately: the till on the counter, the ordering that comes in from your own site rather than a marketplace, and the code on the table that lets a guest order without waiting for anybody. The sheets here work the arithmetic on the parts nobody quotes plainly, and the guides say what each system does before a salesperson gets to say it.

Eposvo is two things. The free half is a set of sheets that work the arithmetic behind a till decision on the page: what it costs to put a code on every table and keep it there through a menu change, and what one order actually carries. The paid half is the till itself, which keeps every order against its table or collection slot with its items, covers, status and total, prints the menu as a table card and exports the record. It is published by Ellul Solutions Ltd.

Who it is for: For the owner or general manager of one restaurant, cafe, bar or takeaway choosing a till and an ordering flow
