What your venue is losing every month without VenueCore.

Skim, voids, and overpriced card terminals quietly bleed UK independents. Move the sliders to match your venue — the right column is real money you're walking past.

That's 1.5× the subscription, paid back every month. Most operators are funding their POS, KDS, CRM and finance stack out of money they didn't know they were losing.

Claim launch pricing
one system, not eight

Most restaurants pay for several separate systems.

VenueCore replaces the typical stack with one integrated operating system — one login, one dataset, one bill.

faq

Questions operators actually ask.

Do you charge per cover or per booking?

No. We charge a flat monthly platform fee. Your bookings, your data, your margin.

What's included in the trial?

All Professional-tier features for 14 days. We'll import your existing menu, sections and last month of bookings so you can run a real service on day one.

Can VenueCore replace my POS?

Yes — we ship an iPad POS and KDS. You can also keep an existing POS (Toast, Square, Lightspeed) and connect it; finance and menu still flow through VenueCore.

How does Group billing work?

Group is billed per venue with a cross-venue dashboard included. Pricing is annual and includes onboarding for each new opening.

Is my data portable?

Always. One click exports bookings, menu, staff, and finance to CSV or JSON. We don't lock data behind tier upgrades.

Where is my data hosted?

EU (Frankfurt) by default. Card data is out-of-scope and handled by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are on the roadmap, not yet certified — we don't claim badges we haven't earned.
