The right POS for your bar or restaurant, set up for you.
PaySetup sells, installs and supports point-of-sale systems for bars, restaurants and cafés. We help you pick between CueSportAi POS, Aldelo and Clover, then load your menu, connect your printers and card payments, and train your staff.
Three systems, one installer
Every venue runs differently. Tell us how yours works and we'll recommend the one that fits, not the one we happen to sell.
CueSportAi POS
A modern, tablet-based POS that runs in the browser or on an Android tablet, and keeps working when the internet drops.
- Tabs, bar seats and a floor plan
- Ordering from the table by QR code
- Kitchen and bar screens and printers
- Stock counts, staff PINs, reports
- Timed tables and rooms
Best for: bars, pubs, pool and snooker halls, karaoke and venues that rent time.
Price: $500 once. No monthly or setup fees. See pricing
Aldelo
A long-established restaurant POS that runs on Windows or iPad, with deep restaurant features.
- Dine-in, takeout and delivery
- Table service and coursing
- Kitchen display and printers
- Online ordering options
Best for: full-service and quick-service restaurants.
Clover
All-in-one countertop and handheld hardware with built-in card payments and a large app market.
- Station, Mini and Flex devices
- Tap, chip and swipe built in
- Order at the table, pay at the table
- App market add-ons
Best for: counter service, cafés and venues that want one-box hardware.
CueSportAi POS, in more detail
Built for venues where people stay a while and run up a tab. It runs on the tablets you already have, or ones we supply.
CueSportAi POS pricing
Own it once. Pay nothing every month. You buy standard hardware, pay a one-time licence, and our cash discount program covers your card fees.
Takes orders offline
The POS runs on the tablet, so a dropped connection doesn't stop service.
- Ring up orders and open tabs
- Print receipts and kitchen and bar tickets
- Open the drawer and take cash
- Everything syncs when the connection is back
Kitchen screens and QR ordering need the internet.
Cards, even when you're offline
Pair a $59 Square Reader to the tablet and take cards right at the POS.
- Tap, chip, Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Tip on screen, paid straight onto the tab
- Offline mode keeps taking cards; they go through when you're back online
- A reader per server for pay-at-table
Offline cards need Square's offline mode on your account and upload within 24 hours.
Table lights that run the clock
Turn a table's light on and its time starts. Turn it off and the time goes on the tab at that table's rate.
- Switch lights from the POS, the website or the wall
- Pause turns the light off, resume turns it back on
- Alerts for a light on with no tab
- Works with Shelly and Tapo switches
Offline, the wall switch still works and staff start and stop time on the POS.
