- Most venues juggle separate POS, EFTPOS, ordering and booking subscriptions
- The Partnership Deal replaces them with one disclosed customer fee
- No hardware purchase, no subscription charged to the venue
- POS, hardware, hosting, payments, support and AI are all folded in
- Covers the full AI-Menu ecosystem end to end
Most venues don't run one system. They run four or five — a POS, an EFTPOS provider, an online ordering platform, maybe a kiosk and a booking tool on top — each billed separately, each on its own contract, each showing up as a separate line on the credit card statement.
What subscription stacking actually costs you
- Time spent chasing separate invoices, separate logins and separate support queues
- No single, clear number for what running the venue's tech actually costs per month
- Integration headaches when systems from different vendors don't talk to each other
A typical week under subscription stacking
Picture a mid-size venue running a POS from one vendor, EFTPOS through the bank, an online ordering page from a delivery aggregator, and a separate booking tool for functions. That's four logins and four invoices before anyone's poured a coffee. Update a price on the POS and the online ordering platform doesn't know until someone logs in separately and fixes it. Something breaks at 7pm on a Friday, and it's a different support number depending on which system it is.
The Partnership Deal removes the stack, not just the invoices
Instead of adding one more subscription to the pile, the Partnership Deal removes the pile altogether. There's no hardware to buy and no subscription charged to the venue for Ai-PosX, Ai-Pay, Ai-QR, Ai-Tablet, Ai-Kiosk or the rest of the ecosystem — the whole stack runs on one disclosed service fee, funded by the venue's own customers rather than billed to the venue.
What's actually included
- POS software — the ordering, sales and operational centre of the venue
- Hardware — supplied for the counter, not purchased outright
- Hosting and updates — platform uptime and software improvements bundled in
- Integrated payments — Ai-Pay connected directly into the stack
- Service desk support and on-site callouts where coverage is available
- AI services — including an included Ai-Phone minutes allowance
Why venues are making the move now
A lot of venues have been running "no-cost" EFTPOS, where the surcharge quietly covered the cost of accepting cards. From 1 October, the RBA ban removes that cover. The Partnership Deal was built for exactly this moment — one disclosed customer fee standing in for both the old surcharge and the old stack of separate subscriptions.
