Zeller
Zeller combines business payments, accounts, cards, invoicing, and financial reporting in a platform for businesses. Its POS includes item and inventory management, receipt and kitchen docket printing, discounts, refunds, and real-time sales reporting. Businesses can create and send unlimited online invoices without a monthly subscription fee, or use a browser-based virtual terminal to key in card payments and create free payment links. Listed in-person rates are 1.3% for Visa and Mastercard and 1.99% for other cards. The POS software and Business Account, app, and dashboard are each listed at free; POS use requires a Zeller Terminal and transaction fees apply. Zeller also lists Expense Cards at £5 a month (first card free) and a terminal at £99, paid once, excluding VAT. Kitchen display, tabs, table mapping, inventory tracking, and complex order routing are marked as coming soon. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web, with 24/7 phone, email, and SMS support.
