Who it is for

  • Pub and bar groups

    Sold for multi-site pubs and bars, with one back office across venues and stock, loyalty and rota tools that share data with the till.

  • Independent and multi-site restaurants

    Kobas says its EPoS is used by independent restaurants, dining groups and quick service venues, with stock, teams and insights in the same system.

  • Food halls

    One subscription per hall with a private account for each vendor, priced per vendor per month.

  • Small venues that want to start with EPoS only

    The entry plan covers EPoS and mobile POS with no per-user or per-device licence fees, and modules can be added later.

Less suited to: Venues that want to keep another vendor's EPoS. Kobas says it does not integrate with other EPoS systems, and its stock and loyalty modules need the Kobas EPoS.

What it does

  • EPoS and mobile POS

    Till and tablet ordering with menu management, split bills, modifiers, service charges, discounts, course management and drag-and-drop layout editing from the cloud.
