Cost-saving point of sale technology firm supply UK’s first Canadian Coffee chain
Intelligent Point of Sale Limited, one of the fastest-growing electronic point of sale (EPOS) providers has supplied its cost-saving technology to the UK’s first Second Cup cafe in Manchester.
Second Cup’s international expansion started in 2003 and now Second Cup cafes are located in 26 regions worldwide. Second Cup opted to fit its flagship UK shop with intelligentpos® technology to keep pace with the growing demands of its fast moving business.
intelligentpos® technology is used on iPads which are pre-loaded with the cloud-based point of sale application. The portable system allows operators greater flexibility to process transactions wherever they occur.
The flexible system is the next generation in EPOS technology, offering increased capability while retaining the fundamental features expected of a traditional EPOS system.

“As the coffee shop will cater to such a large volume of consumers, we know that intelligentpos® will allow the operation to work flexibly and efficiently.”
intelligentpos® significantly cuts point-of-sale set-up costs.

“intelligentpos® is an affordable, flexible and easy to install point of sale business solution.
“Our product allows business owners to remotely monitor their commercial activity and with no contracts or hidden costs and software updates and tech support included, our customers feel assured that they are maximising their own profitability when trading.”
