Pricing questions
Is Starter really free?
Yes. Starter costs $0 a month when you take card payments through APOS Payments. Add kitchen displays for $25 a month each, or move to Essential when you need courses, seats or more devices.
What’s an add-on, and what’s always included?
Reservations, waitlist, table management, deposits and guest profiles are always part of Premium, and there are no cover fees on any booking. Add-ons are for extra hardware on smaller plans and for high-end tools like ticketing, a Voice AI host or advanced marketing. Turn them on or off any month.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly plans run month to month and you can cancel before your next billing date. Yearly plans are paid upfront, give you two months free and aren’t refundable if you cancel part-way through the year; you keep access until the year ends. Enterprise runs on a 12-month agreement. See our Merchant Terms of Service.
What happens to a table when the bill is paid?
On Starter and Essential the table goes straight back to Available, ready for the next walk-in. On Premium it turns green when paid and stays with the party until you mark it for bussing, so hosts know it isn’t free yet.
Is there a setup fee?
No setup fee for self-serve accounts. Launch Partners get 3 months free and their plan price locked for two years.
What counts as a place?
A place is one venue with its own menus, floor plan and devices. A hotel with a restaurant and a rooftop bar would usually set them up as two places under one company.
Do I have to use APOS Payments?
It’s the simplest option and the one we recommend. If you’re in a contract with another provider, APOS connects with most Australian banks and payment providers, so you can keep your terminals until it ends.
What does hardware cost?
Hardware is quoted with your plan based on how many registers, screens and printers you need. You can also use Android tablets you already own if they meet the minimum spec.
