Commercial terms

No long-term software contract.

The platform is £199 per venue per month (ex VAT), month-to-month with no minimum term: cancel on 30 days' written notice, effective at the end of the current billing period. The £900 hardware package is a separate one-off payment. Hardware is customer-owned from purchase — never leased, rented, or remotely locked because of subscription status. VenueCore does not tie you into exclusive hardware arrangements; whether a device works with another provider depends on the device and that provider.

  • →No minimum term on the platform — 30 days' written notice, any time.
  • →Notice takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no partial-month refunds.
  • →The hardware payment is separate from the subscription.
  • →Hardware is never leased, rented or remotely locked.
  • →VAT is shown and charged at checkout; card processing fees are separate.
  • →Your data exports in full on the way out — bookings, menu, staff, finance.
Hardware ownership

You own the hardware.

Hardware bought from VenueCore is owned by your venue from purchase, subject to the purchase terms. There is no lease, no return clause, and no remote lock tied to your subscription. Compatibility with other EPOS providers depends on the specific device and provider — we don't promise every device works everywhere.

  • →Hardware is purchased, not leased — owned by you from purchase.
  • →No remote lock, kill switch, or subscription-dependent disablement.
  • →No return clause if you leave.
  • →Compatibility with other providers depends on the device and provider.

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.

Can I try it before committing?

Yes — with evidence rather than a countdown clock. Send us last week's sales, labour and stock and we'll return a free Leakage Audit in writing, showing exactly where VenueCore would look for margin in your venue. There's no free software trial: VenueCore needs hardware installed and your menu migrated to be worth judging. Instead you get the strongest possible exit — no long-term software contract, cancel on 30 days' written notice, and the hardware is yours outright either way.

Can VenueCore replace my POS?

Yes — we ship an iPad POS and KDS. You can also keep your existing till and connect it; finance and menu still flow through VenueCore.

How does Group billing work?

Every venue is billed the same £199 per month ex VAT. A group with three venues has three subscriptions; there is no separate Group tier.

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.

What's the Founding Partner rate?

A limited founding rate of £149 per venue per month ex VAT is available only to venues we agree it with in writing. The agreed rate and how long it lasts are set on your venue account before you subscribe — it is never applied automatically and never changes silently. The hardware package stays at £900.

How do card payments work commercially?

Card processing fees are separate from the platform fee. They are charged by the payment provider, and we'll show you the exact rates in writing before you sign up. They are not included in the monthly price.

How long am I tied in for?

You aren't. The £199 platform fee renews monthly until you cancel on 30 days' written notice, effective at the end of your current billing period. The hardware package is a separate one-off payment, and the hardware stays yours if you leave.

What does hardware & implementation actually cost?

£900 one-off per venue, ex VAT, paid separately from the subscription. It covers: 1 touchscreen till; 1 commercial Ethernet receipt printer (Epson TM-T20IV class); 1 cash drawer, cabling and starter receipt rolls; Network setup with fixed printer addressing. Larger or multi-room builds are quoted after a short site survey.

Do I own the hardware, or is it leased?

You own it, from the point of purchase, subject to the purchase terms. It is never leased, rented or remotely locked because of subscription status. VenueCore doesn't tie you into exclusive hardware arrangements, but whether a device works with another EPOS provider depends on the device and the provider.

What hardware do you install?

Commodity Windows touchscreens, commercial Epson thermal printers on Ethernet, standard cash drawers and proper wired networking. We deliberately save on the computer — easy and cheap to replace — and spend on the printer, because that's the part that gets hammered every service.
