Questions
How much does Posso cost?
Posso's pricing page (read 12 November 2026) says a complete EPOS system is £499 + VAT up front and software is from £25 + VAT a month, with the exact figure on your quote. Online ordering on your own site is included, with a 60p service fee per order paid by the customer. Card processing through Posso Pay starts from 1% + 10p.
Is Chefzi cheaper than Posso?
For online ordering alone, usually yes: Chefzi Starter over 36 months is £432 (£324 billed annually), against a Posso total from £1,399 + VAT before card fees. Posso's figure includes till hardware that Chefzi does not supply, so compare like for like with the kit you need.
What is the Posso 60p fee?
Posso adds a 60p service fee to each web or app order at checkout, paid by the customer. On 400 orders a month that is £240 a month on your customers' bills. Chefzi adds no per-order fee for customers.
Does Chefzi sell a till like Posso?
Chefzi has the Chefzi POS browser till on Pro, currently in beta, but it sells no hardware: no printers, cash drawer, kiosks or kitchen screens. Orders arrive in the Chefzi Orders app on a phone or tablet you already own.
Can I take phone orders with AI on either?
Posso lists AI phone ordering at £1 per order. Chefzi offers an AI phone agent as a separate service; ask us for details.
Is there a contract with Chefzi?
No. Chefzi plans are month to month with no contract, so you can cancel anytime. The first month is free and no credit card is needed.
What happens if my tablet goes offline?
Chefzi orders ring until someone accepts. If the device is offline when an order arrives, Chefzi texts the restaurant and auto-calls your mobile or phone line.
More detail
Updated 12 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
In short: Posso is a hardware-led UK EPOS: a complete till system is £499 + VAT up front, software is from £25 + VAT a month (exact figure on your quote), online ordering on your own site is included with a 60p service fee per order paid by the customer, and card processing runs through Posso Pay from 1% + 10p. Chefzi is ordering-first with nothing to buy: your ordering website at 0% commission from Starter £12 a month (£9 billed annually), card payments through your own processor and SMS and email marketing on Plus £22 (£19), and the Chefzi POS browser till, your own branded Android app and customer loyalty rewards on Pro £49 (£39). All Chefzi prices are per location, excluding VAT, first month free, no credit card needed, month to month with no contract. Posso figures are from its own pages, read 12 November 2026.
Which one fits your shop
- You want a full till with printers, cash drawer and a 2-year warranty: Posso's £499 system is built for that. Chefzi sells no hardware; its till is a browser till on Pro, in beta.
- You want Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo orders on one screen: Posso offers that for £45 a month. Chefzi does not.
- Online orders are the priority and you already have a till or card machine: Chefzi Starter or Plus has no upfront cost and adds no fee to your customers' bills.
The 36-month cost (worked example)
Posso's own pricing page says the useful number is the 36-month total, not the headline. Here it is from each side's published prices, before card processing and VAT. Posso's software figure is its "from" price; your quote may be higher.
| Over 36 months | Posso (from its pricing page) | Chefzi |
|---|---|---|
| Up front | £499 + VAT complete EPOS system | £0; runs on an Android phone or tablet you own |
| Monthly software or plan | From £25 + VAT × 36 = from £900 | Starter £12 × 36 = £432 (£324 billed annually); Plus £22 × 36 = £792 (£684); Pro £49 × 36 = £1,764 (£1,404) |
| Total to the shop | From £1,399 + VAT | Starter £324 to Pro £1,764, ex VAT |
| Paid by your customers (400 web orders a month) | 60p × 400 × 36 = £8,640 | £0; Chefzi adds no customer fee |
| Marketplace orders on one screen | £45 a month × 36 = £1,620, if you use it | Not offered |
Our arithmetic on an example shop, not your figures. The £499 Posso system includes the till hardware, printers and a 2-year warranty, which Chefzi does not supply, so compare it with the kit you would otherwise buy.
Line by line
| Posso (own pages, read 12 Nov 2026) | Chefzi | |
|---|---|---|
| Up front | Complete EPOS system from £499 + VAT; finance from £24.92 a week, subject to status | Nothing to buy |
| Monthly | Software from £25 + VAT, exact figure on quote | Starter £12 (£9 billed annually), Plus £22 (£19), Pro £49 (£39), ex VAT |
| Commission | None taken from the store on web or app orders | 0% on every plan |
| Customer fee per order | 60p per web or app order, paid by the customer | None added by Chefzi |
| Card payments | Posso Pay from 1% + 10p, quoted on card turnover | Plus and Pro, through Stripe Connect, Square, Worldpay or PayPal |
| Till | Touchscreen till, kitchen printer, cash drawer, receipt printer | Chefzi POS browser till on Pro (in beta) |
| Kitchen display and kiosks | 21-inch kitchen screen £399 + VAT; kiosks from £699 + VAT (Fast Lane kiosk £399 + VAT) | Orders arrive in the Chefzi Orders app; no kiosk or kitchen screen hardware |
| Ordering website | Included; branded website build £450 one-off (£750 with SEO build) | Ordering website on your own domain on every plan |
| Own drivers | Driver app and dispatch, 30p per delivery | Delivery zones with their own fee, minimum and time; no courier integrations |
| Phone orders | AI phone ordering, £1 per order | AI phone agent available as a separate service |
| Branded customer app | Web or app orders mentioned; app not itemised on the pricing page | Android app on Pro; customer iOS app coming soon |
| Missed orders | Not described on these pages | Orders ring until accepted; if the device is offline, Chefzi texts you and auto-calls your mobile or phone line |
| Contract | Not stated on the pricing page; check your quote | Month to month, no contract, cancel anytime |
Where Posso is stronger
- A full hardware package you own, with a 2-year warranty, menu build and training included.
- Marketplace orders on one screen for £45 a month, which Chefzi does not offer.
- Kitchen screens and kiosks at published prices.
Where Chefzi is stronger
- No upfront cost and no customer fee: nothing to buy, and no 60p added to each order.
- Your choice of card processor on Plus and Pro, rather than one merchant service.
- Your own branded Android app and loyalty rewards on Pro.
- Month to month with no contract, first month free and no card to start.
How to choose
Ask Posso for a written quote with the exact software figure and contract term, then work out your 36-month total next to the Chefzi plan you would use. If you are replacing your till and want marketplace orders on one screen, Posso is built for that. If online orders on your own site come first, Chefzi costs less and adds nothing to your customers' bills.
