EFTPOS Solutions for Restaurants
Tableside payments, split bills, POS integration, and no-cost EFTPOS — APS gives Australian restaurants fast, reliable payment solutions that keep service moving and more revenue in your pocket.
The Real Payment Challenges Restaurants Face
High transaction volumes, busy peak periods, and customers who expect to pay however and wherever they want — payment friction costs you table turns, tips, and repeat visits.
Slow processing during peak service
When the Friday dinner rush hits, every second at the counter costs you a table turn. Outdated terminals with slow connection times create bottlenecks that frustrate staff and customers alike.
Split bills handled manually at the counter
Splitting a bill between four people at the register ties up your counter, delays other customers, and risks errors. Without tableside EFTPOS, your team absorbs that pressure every service.
No tableside payment capability
Customers increasingly expect to pay at the table — especially at full-service restaurants. A fixed terminal at the counter doesn't suit modern hospitality floor service.
High merchant fees eating into margins
With food costs and rent already squeezing margins, paying 1–2% on every card transaction adds up fast. A restaurant processing $50,000 per month loses up to $1,000 monthly in merchant fees alone.
POS and EFTPOS don't talk to each other
Manually entering amounts from your POS into a separate EFTPOS terminal slows down every transaction and introduces keying errors. Integrated payments eliminate this double-handling entirely.
Terminal downtime during service
An EFTPOS terminal going offline mid-service is a hospitality emergency. Poor support response times and single-connection terminals leave you exposed when it matters most.
How APS Solves Payments for Australian Restaurants
Portable EFTPOS terminals, integrated POS payments, and flexible pricing designed around the realities of hospitality — not office hours.
Portable Tableside EFTPOS
APS portable terminals run on 4G and WiFi, so your team can take payment at any table. Customers tap, insert, or swipe tableside — no queuing, no counter congestion. Accepts Visa, Mastercard, eftpos, American Express, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Tableside Split Bill Payments
Use your POS's split bill feature to divide the total, then process each customer's portion on the APS portable terminal at the table. No manual keying at the counter, no queuing, no errors — each payment handled separately at the table.
POS Integration
APS connects with leading Australian restaurant POS platforms via Linkly, so your terminal automatically pulls the correct amount from your POS. No double-keying. Faster service. Fewer errors.
No-Cost EFTPOS Option
With APS no-cost EFTPOS, you pass card processing fees to customers as an ACCC-compliant surcharge and keep 100% of every sale. Note: the RBA is banning surcharges on Visa, Mastercard, and eftpos from 1 October 2026 — speak to us about your options before that date.
Integrated Sales Reporting
When APS connects to your POS, your reporting system captures every transaction in real time — shifts, staff, revenue trends, busiest periods. APS integration ensures the data from every table and terminal flows into your POS dashboard accurately.
Australian-Based Support
APS support is based in Australia. When a terminal goes down mid-service, you reach a real person who understands the urgency of a hospitality environment — not an offshore call centre.
EFTPOS That Works With Your Restaurant POS
APS connects with the POS systems Australian restaurants already use via Linkly — so your terminal reads the total directly from your POS. No manual entry, no keying errors, faster table turns.
Compatible Restaurant POS Systems
APS integrates with 1,000+ POS systems via Linkly. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your current setup before switching.
