Restaurant EPOS in London
A restaurant POS for London, with the service charge where it belongs
Brindola is a restaurant POS for London venues that keeps a 12.5 % service charge and card tips out of your takings, works alongside the card terminal you already rent with no fee of its own, and keeps the whole service running on the venue's own hardware when the broadband goes down.
What a London restaurant asks of a POS, answered
Service charge, tips, card fees and a broadband line that picks Friday night to fail: Brindola is built for how a London restaurant trades.
Service charge and tips on the same bill
An optional service charge is its own line on the bill under the name you give it, struck off when a guest asks. A card tip is recorded on the payment, never inside the sale. Both are reported on their own, per member of staff and per day.
Tips and service charge in the FAQCard fees you choose
Keep the card machine you already rent, from whichever provider gives you the best rate. Brindola takes no card fee and puts no markup on anyone's rate.
Card terminals in the FAQA table of six, split four ways
Open the table on the floor plan and split the bill by seat, by item or by amount, each part with its own receipt, its own payment and its own tip.
The floor plan and the billTrading when the broadband goes down
The terminals, the kitchen screens and printers, phones on your Wi-Fi, payments and the cash-up all run on your own network. Pull the cable at seven on a Friday and nothing on the floor changes.
What keeps working offlineYour bookkeeper and your accounts
The Z reading at close gives takings by payment method, refunds, cash tips and grand totals nothing rewrites, and every receipt keeps its VAT by rate. There is no direct link into Xero or QuickBooks today.
Accounting in the FAQNo approval to obtain
Nothing in the UK certifies a terminal or requires a device under the counter. Every sale, refund and void is kept as its own entry, for the six years VAT record-keeping expects.
Records and HMRC in the FAQThe cost over a year
One price per venue in pounds, VAT added at checkout, with no share of your sales and no hardware bundle: it runs on a Windows or Linux computer you already own.

Six things to test before choosing a POS in London
Before you sign with anyone, us included, ask to see these six on the vendor's own equipment. In Brindola's fourteen-day trial you can try every one yourself.
- A service charge and a card tip on the same bill The service charge has its own line and the tip sits on the payment; both are kept out of takings and reported by staff.
- A table of six split four ways The bill splits by seat, by item or by amount.
- An order reaching the kitchen screen Tickets appear on the kitchen screen.
- Service with the internet cable pulled Unplug the router and nothing changes on the floor.
- A payment on the card terminal you will actually use, and its rate Your own terminal works alongside, its receipt number recorded; Brindola adds no fee to its rate.
- The total price over a year, hardware, add-ons and card fees included One price per venue in pounds, with no cut of your card sales.
