Pub EPOS System
The pub EPOS system built for British landlords.
Shift4 Dine is the all-in-one pub EPOS — wet-led, food-led, or both. Open tabs, split rounds, KDS, integrated card payments and 24/7 UK support, with £0 upfront and bundles from £39/month.
Why pubs choose Shift4 Dine
Every feature a landlord actually needs — none of the bloat.
Open tabs & split rounds
Bar staff fire drinks in seconds. Tabs hold across staff changes. Split a round across cards, cash and Apple Pay without the maths.
Friday-night fast
Sub-second order fire to KDS or printer. Smart menus, modifiers and quick-keys mean fewer taps per pint.
Integrated card payments
Pay-at-table handhelds powered by Shift4. Chip & PIN, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay — one reconciliation at close.
Staff control & tronc
PIN logins, permissions, clock-in/out, and tip splits that actually balance. Full audit trail for the manager.
Stock, GP & wastage
Track every keg, bottle and dish. Real-time GP, low-stock alerts, and supplier orders straight from the till.

What landlords say
Trusted behind the bar at UK pubs every night.
"Friday nights used to be carnage on the old till. With Shift4 Dine the bar staff fire rounds in seconds and the split-bill stuff just works. Card rates dropped too — paid the kit off in weeks."
Landlord, wet-led community pub"We run food and drink off the same system now. Orders fly to the kitchen, tabs hold across shift changes, and tronc finally balances. Support actually picks up the phone at 11pm on a Saturday."
General Manager, gastropub"I've used three EPOS systems in twenty years and this is the first one the team learned in an afternoon. GP reporting by the keg is a game changer — wastage is down, margins are up."
Owner, country innPub EPOS FAQs
Straight answers from Carl Daniel, Senior Shift4 Partner & team.
What is the best EPOS system for a UK pub?
Shift4 Dine (powered by SkyTab) is purpose-built for UK pubs — open tabs, split rounds, dual food + bar service, integrated card payments and 24/7 support, with £0 upfront and bundles from £39/month.
How much does a pub EPOS system cost?
Shift4 Dine pub bundles start from £39/month with £0 upfront on the hardware. Card processing is quoted per venue based on volume and card mix — usually below what UK pubs are paying their current acquirer.
Does the EPOS handle both wet and food-led trade?
Yes. Bar staff can fire drinks fast on the main till while food orders flow straight to a kitchen display screen (KDS). One platform, one report, one settlement.
Can I keep my existing card machine?
We always recommend integrated payments via Shift4 — a single till reconciliation, fewer mis-keys, and almost always a better rate. We'll quote against your current statement before you switch.
