ready2order

ready2order makes a cloud cash register and point-of-sale system for small businesses. It began as a hobby project aimed at cutting the paperwork that entrepreneurs face, and it has grown into software, hardware and payment services under one name.

What ready2order offers

• Cloud POS software — a register app that runs on Windows, Android, Mac and iOS devices, so an existing tablet, phone or computer can serve as the till.
• Hardware terminals — tablet registers, an all-in-one unit with a built-in receipt printer and card terminal, and larger counter units with two displays.
• Industry packages — a base package for retail and service work, plus a hospitality package with table service functions.
• Payments and banking — card acceptance and newer products added alongside the register.
• Support — help for users is offered at no extra charge.

Who it works with

The system is aimed at cafes, restaurants, food trucks, shops and service providers such as hairdressers and beauty businesses. The stored profile says thousands of small-business owners use it.
