Core
POS Software
The ordering, sales and operational centre of the venue.
New commercial model 
Zero upfront. One service fee. Everything included.
The Partnership Deal folds POS, hardware, payments, hosting, support and AI into one disclosed fee, funded by the venue’s customers.
The shift
From separate bills to one connected deal.
From 1 October 2026, the RBA removes card surcharging. Venues on no-cost EFTPOS start paying for something that used to cost nothing. The Partnership Deal keeps venues at zero: no hardware to buy, no subscriptions, no fee charged to the venue at all.
The old way
- Upfront hardware plus weekly subscription
- Transaction fees plus surcharge complexity
- Separate support and service charges
