Designed for cafés, bars and restaurants, SumUp POS helps you manage tables, streamline orders, and optimise kitchen operations all in one place.
Organise your space, streamline your orders, speed up your service. One solution for floor plans, provisional bills, and dine-in/takeaway orders
Map your store and create your table or floor plan directly in your POS.
Go to Profile > Orders > toggle on ‘Floor plan’.
Then, go back to your checkout screen and set up your floor plan by adding the number of tables with the ‘+’ button and dragging them onto the plan.
You’ll be able to view your new layout by clicking the floor plan icon, where you can take orders by clicking on each table.
When an order is placed at a table, it will turn white and display a timer showing how long the order has been active.
Once your floor plan is set up, you can easily transfer open orders to another table, for example, if a customer changes seats.
To move an order, go to Parked Orders or tap the three dots on the POS checkout screen and select “Move”. Then choose the new table to complete the transfer.
You can set up different prices and VAT rates for take away orders directly in your product catalogue. Simply open the item editor, select the item you want to update, and toggle on ‘Set up different prices and VAT for takeaway’ to enter the adjusted price and VAT rate.
When taking an order, you can switch between order types by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner of the checkout screen and selecting the type, such as Eat-in, Take away, or Pick-up. The system will automatically apply the correct price and VAT, and the chosen order type will appear on the order ticket to ensure accurate preparation.
Let customers review their order details before payment by printing a provisional bill.
You can enable this feature in your printer settings. Simply go to your profile > Printer settings, and under ‘Bills’, activate or deactivate the option using the toggle.
To print a provisional bill during checkout, open the shopping cart and tap ‘Print bill.’
All connected devices stay perfectly in sync, so your entire team can see table occupancy, open orders, and real-time updates across the floor. This ensures smoother service, fewer errors and faster turnaround during busy hours.

If you’d like to print dedicated tickets (sales receipts, reports or order tickets) in specific areas of your store (e.g. bar/kitchen), you can connect unlimited printers.
In addition to routing tickets like sales receipts and order tickets to specific printers, you can assign printer roles and control which product categories are printed at each preparation station.
For example, you can send drinks to the bar printer, food items to the kitchen and desserts to a separate station, ensuring each team receives only the tickets relevant to them.
Upgrade your kitchen operations with the SumUp Kitchen Display System (KDS). Route tickets to different prep stations, track orders in real time, and update their status to ‘In preparation’ or ‘Completed’ with a single tap.
The KDS helps you streamline workflows, reduce paper usage and gain full visibility over your kitchen operations.
To get started, simply log in to the KDS tablet with your SumUp profile to automatically sync POS orders. You can also display QR Order & Pay and Kiosk orders; just enable the toggle in the Storefront Builder on your dashboard and they’ll appear instantly.
