We are pleased to announce a great new feature supporting Take Away and Delivery businesses. Kobas EPoS now supports Order Tracking, which allows orders to be marked as In Preparation, then Ready and finally Dispatched.
Orders placed on a till or using our online ordering partner Preoday will appear in the “Preparation” section, which will automatically update in real time. This […]
As a QSR customer, I’m used to being asked whether I’m going to eat in or takeaway. There are two main reasons why we are asked this.
The first is that a sale item’s recipe might change slightly if it is to be taken away. For instance, plastic cutlery may be added to a boxed salad, or a paper cup to […]
Cash continues to fall from favour across the UK economy as a whole, and the hospitality sector is no exception. Cash now accounts for only 20% of takings in the average Kobas venue, down from 38% in 2016.

Kobas EPoS has always required users to log in using a four digit PIN. This method of authentication was chosen because it was ubiquitous. Any device, from an iPad to a giant touch screen, can support PIN authentication.

Kobas Virtual EPoS is a new product for hospitality operators running “cloud”, “ghost” or “dark” kitchens that only serve delivery customers. With initiatives such as Deliveroo Editions becoming increasingly popular, the challenge of running a delivery-only kitchen in harmony with the rest of the business is rising up the agenda.
Any delivery kitchen still needs many of the services Kobas provides: […]
Q2 has seen steady 3% compound growth (15% so far this year), in a climate where operators are seeking to exert greater control upon their expenses than ever before.
Industry Heartbeat
Every quarter we review anonymised averaged information from all Kobas venues to compare the year to date against previous years.
Average turnover in the first half of 2019 has been on […]
We’ve enjoyed a strong start to 2019 at Kobas with 12% net growth in EPoS venues. Our all-new stock system has launched and is now running 10 client groups; we hope to complete that upgrade for everyone this coming quarter.
Industry Heartbeat
