EPOS systems for London shops, cafes and restaurants cost £1,199 to £2,499 inc. VAT with Ai Protech, supplied, installed and set up at fixed prices that include the hardware, the installation, the software setup and VAT: from £1,199 inc. VAT for a shop till (Shop Starter) and £1,299 inc. VAT for a cafe till (Cafe Lite). An EPOS system is the till, the software behind it and the kit around it: touchscreen terminal, barcode scanner, cash drawer, receipt printer and, for hospitality, the kitchen printer and waiter pad. We cover London and everywhere inside the M25.
Retail and hospitality tills do different jobs, so we keep two ranges. Shop Starter at £1,199 is the complete point of sale for an independent shop: a 15-inch touchscreen terminal, barcode scanner, cash drawer, receipt printer and stock management software, installed and ready to take the first sale. Retail Pro at £1,999 adds a higher-performance terminal, a customer loyalty programme, a cloud reporting dashboard, ecommerce integration and label printing, so one system runs the counter and the online shop. For food and drink, Cafe Lite at £1,299 pairs a splash-proof touch terminal with a fast thermal printer, simple menu management and staff timekeeping, built for the morning rush. Restaurant Plus at £2,499 adds a kitchen printer, a handheld waiter pad, table and tab management, order-at-table and QR ordering, and ingredient-level inventory.
The software is what you use every day, so we load it before the visit. Send your product list or menu with prices and we build the till from it: products, prices, VAT and staff logins. Stock management on the retail packages tracks what sells and what to reorder, and the Pro packages add cloud reporting so takings, best sellers and stock are on your phone wherever you are. Loyalty on Retail Pro keeps regulars coming back, and ecommerce integration keeps online and counter stock in step. In a restaurant, orders go from the waiter pad or the customer's phone straight to the kitchen printer, and ingredient-level inventory tells you when the stockroom is running low.
Most single-till installations are completed in one visit. We confirm the counter position, power and network beforehand, arrive with the products or menu already loaded, fit the terminal, drawer, scanner and printer, pair the card terminal, and run a live sale with you before we leave. The engineer photographs the finished setup and asks you to sign off, and your invoice and report follow. If the shop cannot close, we fit around opening hours. Multi-till setups, franchise rollouts and kitchen display systems are surveyed first and quoted as one fixed price. What sits inside each price and what adds to a quote is in our EPOS system cost guide for London, and opening a new venue is covered in the cafe and restaurant tech checklist.
Ai Protech's POS installation service covers the whole counter: the terminal, cash drawer, scanner and receipt printer fitted, the card terminal paired, the products or menu loaded and a live sale run before we leave, in one visit for a single till. For hospitality EPOS in London, Cafe Lite at £1,299 inc. VAT suits counters and takeaways and Restaurant Plus at £2,499 inc. VAT adds the kitchen printer, waiter pad, table and tab management and QR order-at-table. Retail counters start with Shop Starter at £1,199 inc. VAT. Multi-till, multi-site and kitchen display installations are surveyed first and priced in the written quote.
The tills integrate with a card terminal, so you keep your payment provider and its rates: tell us who you use and we set the integration up. A till also depends on a reliable connection, and a busy shop floor is a poor place for a consumer router, so many customers book business Wi-Fi and data networking at the same time. If you want a screen above the counter for menus and offers, digital signage runs from the same network, and a CCTV camera over the till, included with a till view in our Retail Essential package at £1,399, is the usual pairing for shops that handle cash.

Which EPOS system suits a London cafe?
For a counter-service cafe or takeaway, Cafe Lite at £1,299 inc. VAT: a splash-proof touch terminal, a fast thermal printer, simple menu management and staff timekeeping built in. If you serve at tables from a kitchen, Restaurant Plus at £2,499 adds a pro terminal with a kitchen printer, a handheld waiter pad, table and tab management, QR order-at-table and ingredient-level stock. Send the menu before the visit and the till is ready on the day.
Do I need to send my product list first?
Yes, ideally. Send a spreadsheet of products or a menu with prices before the visit and we load it so the till is ready on the day.
Does it take card payments?
The tills integrate with a card terminal; the payment provider and its fees are your agreement with them. Tell us who you use and we set the integration up.
Can I keep my existing card machine?
In most cases, yes. The tills integrate with a card terminal, so you keep the provider you already use. Tell us who you use and the model when you book and we set the integration up on the day; the provider and its fees remain your agreement with them.
Does the EPOS software include stock control and reporting?
Shop Starter includes stock management software. Retail Pro adds a cloud reporting dashboard, a customer loyalty programme and ecommerce integration, and Restaurant Plus tracks inventory at ingredient level. Cloud reporting on the Pro packages shows takings, best sellers and stock on your phone.
Do you install EPOS systems for restaurants and takeaways?
Yes. Cafe Lite suits counters and takeaways, and Restaurant Plus adds a kitchen printer, a handheld waiter pad, table and tab management and QR order-at-table, so orders reach the kitchen the moment they are taken.
How long does an EPOS installation take?
A single till is usually installed, tested with a live sale and handed over in one visit, because the products or menu are loaded before we arrive. Multi-till and kitchen display installations are planned at the survey.
Can you install around my trading hours?
Yes. We work Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:30, so we can plan an early start or a quieter day and the shop or restaurant does not lose a service.
Which areas do you cover for EPOS installation?
London and everywhere inside the M25, for independent shops, cafes, restaurants and small chains. Single tills are installed in one visit; for several tills or several sites we survey first and quote one fixed price.
What happens after the install?
The engineer runs a live sale with you, photographs the setup and asks you to sign off. Your invoice and completion report follow; a fixed-price package is already paid.
What is included in a POS installation in London?
The hardware in the package (touchscreen terminal, cash drawer, barcode scanner or kitchen printer, receipt printer), the installation at the counter, the card terminal integration, the product list or menu loaded before the visit, staff logins, a live test sale and the completion photos: Shop Starter £1,199 inc. VAT, Cafe Lite £1,299 inc. VAT, Retail Pro £1,999 inc. VAT and Restaurant Plus £2,499 inc. VAT. Jobs with several tills or sites are surveyed first and priced in the written quote.
