What payment processing systems are reliable for point-of-sale operations in drinks businesses?

Members recommend evaluating payment processors based on both functionality and uptime reliability, as system downtime directly impacts sales.

**Square** — Currently in use by at least one member; supports card payments and point-of-sale functions.

**Zettle** — Long-established option (used reliably by members for years) with built-in EPOS system integration, though recent reports indicate reliability issues in some cases; consider this if stability becomes a concern.

**Dojo** — Emerging alternative with reportedly excellent coverage, though members note it lacks built-in EPOS functionality like Zettle, which may require separate systems integration.

Key consideration: Members emphasise that payment system downtime is critical—there is nothing worse than being unable to complete a sale. If switching from an established provider like Zettle due to recent unreliability, ensure the alternative has proven uptime before committing.
