The takeaway and fast food POS built for peak-hour speed
Counter, collection, QR and delivery orders in one queue, routed straight to the kitchen. Built for independent UK takeaways, fast food venues and QSR, from £79/month on the devices you already own.
What a takeaway actually needs from a till
A takeaway lives or dies on the twenty minutes either side of peak. The system has to take an order in seconds, get it to the right person in the kitchen without anyone re-keying it, and keep every channel in one place so nothing is missed while the counter is three deep. Everything else is secondary. Servio runs the counter till, QR ordering, the kitchen display and owner analytics as one system in the browser, so there is no proprietary terminal and no separate app to watch.
Fast at the counter
Short menus, quick modifiers and repeat orders keyed in seconds, on a tablet your staff already know how to use.
One queue, every channel
Counter, collection and QR orders land in the same queue. Delivery orders can be managed there too, so the kitchen watches one screen instead of three.
Straight to the right station
Tickets route to the fryer, grill or prep station that needs them, with modifiers attached. No paper to lose, nothing shouted twice.
Built for how independents actually operate
Chicken shops, pizza and kebab takeaways, halal grills, burger bars, chip shops, bubble tea and dessert counters, and small QSR groups all run the same shape of service: high volume, short menus, a lot of collection. Servio is priced and built for that operation rather than for a national chain — £79 Starter or £199 Growth, no hardware to buy, no contract, and live the same afternoon because we import your menu from a file or URL. If you are weighing the market, the 2026 comparison ranks the main UK systems honestly and the cost guide works through the all-in monthly figure.
What it costs
Most takeaways start on Starter at £79/month, which includes the till, QR ordering and a single-station kitchen display. Growth at £199/month adds multi-station kitchen routing, inventory and owner analytics for busier kitchens. Both run on your own devices, so hardware is £0, and card payments go through Stripe at Stripe’s published UK rates with no markup. Every price is on the pricing page — there is no quote to request and no sales call to sit through.
Common questions
What is the best POS system for a UK takeaway?
For most independent takeaways and fast food venues the deciding factors are counter speed at peak, keeping every order channel in one queue, and not paying for hardware you do not need. Servio runs the till, QR ordering and the kitchen display in one system on tablets you already own, from £79/month with no contract. Larger multi-site chains with deep franchise reporting needs may prefer an enterprise platform, and we say so plainly in our comparison guide.
How much does a takeaway EPOS system cost in the UK?
Software runs from £0 app tiers to £199+/month for a full platform, but the real bill includes add-ons, hardware and card fees. Traditional takeaway EPOS bundles add a terminal and often a multi-year contract. Servio publishes its pricing — £79 Starter, £199 Growth — runs on your own devices so hardware can be £0, and processes payments through Stripe at Stripe’s published rates with no markup.
Can delivery orders come into the same queue as counter orders?
That is the point of running one system. Counter, collection and dine-in orders already flow into the same queue and route to the right kitchen station. Delivery orders can be managed in the same queue today through manual delivery management; aggregator webhook support is in beta, and direct Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat integrations are on our roadmap. We publish the current status rather than promising integrations that are not live yet.
Do I need a special till or terminal for a fast food venue?
No. Servio runs in the browser on the tablets and phones you already own, so there is no proprietary terminal to buy, replace or repair. Card payments are handled by Stripe. For a busy counter that usually means one tablet at the till, a screen in the kitchen, and nothing else to buy.
Will it keep up at peak?
That is what it is built for. Orders from the counter, QR codes and staff devices land in one queue and route straight to the kitchen display, so nobody re-keys a ticket or shouts an order across a hot line. Short internet drops do not stop service — the system re-syncs automatically when the connection returns.
