Questions
How much does Posso cost?
Per Posso's EPOS pricing page (checked 5 November 2026), a complete EPOS system is from £499 + VAT up front, and software is from £25 + VAT a month. Online ordering hosting is free with a 60p service fee per web or app order paid by the customer. Card processing via Posso Pay is from 1% + 10p. A branded website build is listed at £450 (£750 for the SEO build). Delivery-app integration is £45 a month; AI phone ordering is £1 per order.
What is the 60p Posso service fee?
Posso adds a 60p service fee to each web or app order, paid by the customer. The store does not pay that 60p; the customer does. On 400 orders a month that is £240 a month added to customers' bills (worked example, not a claim about your shop).
What does Chefzi cost?
Plans from £9 a month per location billed annually (£12 if billed monthly), with the first month free. Every plan includes your own domain, 0% commission ever, no setup fee and free migration. Prices exclude VAT. There is no per-order customer service fee from Chefzi.
Do I need to buy a till for Chefzi?
No. Chefzi POS runs in the browser on a tablet, laptop or phone you already own. There is no required hardware purchase from Chefzi. The Chefzi Orders staff app is on Google Play for Android now; the iOS staff app is coming soon. The restaurant's own branded customer Android app comes with the Pro plan.
Is Posso commission-free?
Posso's online ordering pages say hosting is free and the store pays no percentage commission on web or app orders. The customer pays a 60p service fee per order, and the store still pays card processing. Compare that total with a flat monthly fee on your own order count.
More detail
Updated 5 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
Posso is a hardware-led UK EPOS and ordering provider. Chefzi is ordering-first software on a flat monthly fee, with a browser till and no required hardware purchase. This page compares them using Posso's own published figures (checked 5 November 2026) and Chefzi's live plans.
The short version
- Posso (EPOS pricing page, 5 Nov 2026): Complete EPOS system from £499 + VAT; software from £25 + VAT a month. Online ordering hosting free, 0% store commission, but a 60p service fee per web/app order paid by the customer. Card processing via Posso Pay from 1% + 10p. Website build £450 (£750 SEO build). Delivery-app integration £45 a month; AI phone £1 per order.
- Chefzi: From £9 a month per location billed annually (£12 if billed monthly), excluding VAT, first month free. Ordering on your own domain, 0% commission ever, no per-order customer service fee from Chefzi. Browser Chefzi POS on devices you already own. See Chefzi pricing.
VAT: Posso quotes hardware and software + VAT; Chefzi quotes excluding VAT.
The 60p customer fee (worked example)
Posso's model moves a fixed fee onto the customer rather than taking a percentage from the store. On a busy month that still adds up on the bill the guest sees.
Worked example (not your shop's figures): 400 web or app orders × 60p = £240 a month paid by customers in service fees. At 200 orders that is £120 a month; at 100 orders, £60 a month.
Chefzi does not add a per-order customer service fee. You pay the monthly plan; card fees are charged by your chosen payment processor (Stripe Connect, Square, Worldpay or PayPal on Plus and above). Use the commission calculator with your own order count when comparing marketplace commission to a flat fee.
Posso pricing (from Posso's UK pages)

Posso might suit you if
- You want a full till and hardware package with warranty, printers and cash drawer included in one upfront system.
- You are comfortable with a 60p customer service fee on each web or app order as the way online ordering is funded.
- You want Posso's Posso Pay rates and marketplace integration as named add-ons on the same stack.
- Hardware finance and an on-site-style EPOS setup matter more than starting on devices you already own.
Chefzi might suit you if
- You want a flat monthly fee with no per-order customer service fee from the ordering provider.
- You prefer to start on phones and tablets you already own, without buying a £499+ till package first.
- Online ordering, your own domain and a browser till on the same plan are enough, with the restaurant's own branded customer Android app available on Pro.
- You want a choice of payment processors rather than one in-house merchant service.
