Point of sale for small hospitality
Zeta is the till, kitchen screen and customer book for cafés, takeaways and bistros — for one honest flat price. No per-transaction fees. No lock-in. Ever.
Tax never sleeps
Every Budget, hospitality holds its breath. When rates change, every till in the country has to be right by morning — wrong VAT on a receipt is your problem, not your accountant's.
Zeta manages it for you: update a rate once and every item, receipt, and report is correct — eat-in, takeaway, the lot. You'll spend Budget day serving, not re-programming a till.
One tap

Always correct
eat-in vs takeaway rates applied automatically at the till
HMRC-ready
VAT broken out on every report, ready for your return
One system, tuned to how your kind of shop actually runs — over the counter, down the phone or at the pass.
Chinese takeaways, kebab shops, grills
The phone rings, the customer pops up, the kitchen sees the order the instant it’s placed. Two receipts print — one for the kitchen, one for the bag.
Promenade kiosks, snack bars, ice cream counters
Sunny Saturday is the whole season. Tap-tap-done ordering, held tickets for the big family order, and a collection screen that keeps the crowd off the counter.
Coffee shops, brunch spots, sandwich bars
A touch surface fast enough for the morning queue — tap to add, extras and sizes per item, eat-in and takeaway VAT handled automatically.
30-cover bistros, wine bars, pub kitchens
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery share one menu, one kitchen screen and one set of reports. Station routing sends the grill its own work, and allergy notes never slip past.
Food trucks, market stalls, beach shacks
No phone line, no broadband, no problem. Zeta runs entirely on your own kit — take orders at a festival field or a lay-by, and the day’s numbers are ready when you park up.
Bakeries, cake makers, dessert lounges
Thursday’s call for Saturday’s birthday cake, handled. Pre-orders park themselves and surface exactly when the kitchen needs to start — with the lead time done for you.
Caller-ID, in the box
A small device sits on your phone line and watches up to four lines at once. Before you've picked up, the customer's address, allergies and last order are in front of you. A phone order takes 30 seconds, start to finish.
Kitchen display
Every ticket is saved the instant it changes. If the kitchen screen reboots mid-service, it picks up exactly where it left off — nothing bumped twice, nothing forgotten. Allergy orders carry a banner the cook can't miss.
Zeta runs fully offline — every sale, every time. Your data never leaves your store.
Nothing in the cloud means nothing to hack, leak, or hold hostage.
From the counter
“Zeta was built at our counter. The phone rings, the customer’s on screen, and the kitchen already has the ticket. It’s just how we work now.”
“The broadband went down on a Friday night and we didn’t miss a single order. That alone paid for the year.”
“No percentage of my takings. I did the maths against my old till and stopped paying £200 a month I didn’t need to.”
The maths of owning it
Tax rises, prices rise — and a percentage-fee till takes more from you every year, because it's a cut of more expensive food. Zeta's price is flat. What you pay today is what you pay next year.
Planning to still be open next year? Buy it once and it pays for itself in months — then it's yours for life.
Cost over 3 years
Based on £110/mo subscription plus a 0.5% transaction cut on £5,000/week takings vs. Zeta one-time purchase. Your numbers may vary.
Never a percentage of your takings. Card payments go through whichever processor you choose — Zeta never takes a cut.
One till, the full ordering surface, customer book and reporting. Everything a single-counter shop needs.
