Zeller POS review

Zeller POS is a newer option from Zeller, the Australian EFTPOS and business banking provider, and its pitch is price. The POS software has no setup fee and no monthly fee, and when you sell through Zeller POS with a Zeller Terminal, the in-person card fee drops to 1.2%, compared with Zeller's standard 1.4% for all cards. The feature set is aimed at cafes, coffee bars and quick service: items with modifiers and add-ons, discounts, tabs, variable pricing, kitchen dockets routed to coffee, bar or kitchen stations, and a free kitchen display system. Team roles control what staff can see. Zeller says it can go live in hours without an on-site technician, and that more than 110,000 businesses trust Zeller. The gaps are real for now: table assignment and inventory tracking are both marked coming soon on Zeller's own page. Retailers that need stock control, purchase orders or lay-by should look at Hike or Lightspeed Retail.
