Quick answer
What does a restaurant POS cost in Brisbane over three years?
Of the Brisbane suppliers on Google's first page, only Access POS prices a whole restaurant package. Package B is $2,390 ex GST on its current sale (list $3,690) with a terminal, receipt printer, cash drawer, menu programming and 12 months' support, then $80 ex GST a month. A one-terminal café pays $4,310 ex GST over 36 months, or $5,390 with the EFTPOS-link and stock modules. Triniteq starts at $55 a site a month and POSApt at $66 a month inc GST, neither with hardware. Ours is A$1,620 over 36 months on hardware you already own, or about A$3,619–A$4,626 ex GST with new retail kit.
- Access POS Package B, 36 months: $2,390 + 24 × $80 = $4,310 ex GST
- Software only, 36 months: Triniteq from $1,980, POSApt $2,376
- Our hosted plan plus new café kit: A$3,619–A$4,626 ex GST
- Year 4 at today's prices: $960 on Access POS, A$540 with us

Brisbane POS suppliers and the prices they actually publish
On 7 October 2026 we read the restaurant and terms pages of each POS supplier ranking for Brisbane searches and copied every price and GST basis as printed. A dash means nothing is published. No one publishes Brisbane market-share figures, so this shows who competes for your search, not who sells most.
| Supplier | Stated presence | Published price | GST basis | What the price covers | After year 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Access POS Package B (restaurant and café) | Brisbane QLD 4000 address | $2,390 on sale (list $3,690) | Ex GST | 15-inch all-in-one terminal (24-month warranty), receipt printer, cash drawer, software, menu programming, set-up before delivery, 12 months' phone and remote support | $80 a month for one computer, invoiced a year in advance, 12-month minimum |
| Access POS Package D (adds a kitchen printer) | Same company | $3,120 on sale (list $4,420) | Ex GST | Package B plus a kitchen/order printer | $80 a month for one computer ($120 once you add a second). Modules $300 each, then $10 a month per computer |
| Triniteq PowerEPOS | Brisbane page; in hospitality since 1997 | From $55 per site per month | Not stated | Software, with no transaction fees and no lock-in contract | Hardware and add-ons unpriced. Live 7–14 days after the deposit |
| POSApt Hospitality 'POS Only' | Ranked first in a Brisbane listicle | $66 a month | Inc GST | POS software; card rates from 0.99% | POS plus online ordering: $185 a month inc GST |
| Idealpos | Pinkenba QLD 4008 | On request; no pricing page | – | Supply, installation, set-up | – |
| StarPOS | Says its base is Brisbane | On request | – | Not published | – |
| Codingclave hosted | Remote, from Lucknow, India; no Brisbane address | A$45 a month | No GST charged (see GST note) | We run the server and the updates; stock control included | Device and outlet limits confirmed in writing for your business before you sign |
| Codingclave licence | Same | A$449 once | No GST charged (see GST note) | Self-hosted licence, full source code, first 3 months of updates | Update price after month 3 confirmed in writing for your business before you sign |
Access POS's prices include a $1,300 discount; ask whether it still applies on the day you order. Its licence terms also allow 'small yearly price increases' once the first 24 months are up. The Brisbane listicle ranking POSApt first gives an unsourced $60–$180 a month for small-business software, and its footer carries 'Advertise With Us'.

Three-year POS cost for a Brisbane café and a two-terminal restaurant
A $2,390 package and a $55 subscription aren't the same purchase: the first includes a terminal, printer, drawer and a year's support, the second is software only. Over 36 months, Access POS Package B costs $4,310 ex GST including its hardware; our hosted POS costs A$1,620 plus any hardware you buy.
| Scenario and option | Software and support, 36 months | Hardware | GST basis | Left out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Café, one terminal: Access POS Package B | $2,390 + 24 × $80 = $4,310 | Terminal, receipt printer and cash drawer included | Ex GST | Modules; any yearly rises after month 24 |
| Café: Package B with EFTPOS-link and stock-control modules | $2,390 + $600 + 24 × $100 = $5,390 | As above | Ex GST | Other modules |
| Café: Codingclave hosted | 36 × A$45 = A$1,620 | A$1,999–A$3,006 ex GST of new retail kit (list below), or reuse compatible kit | No GST charged on our software | Contractor cabling |
| Café: Codingclave licence, hosted by us | A$449 + 36 × A$80–A$240 = A$3,329–A$9,089 | As above | No GST charged | Updates after month 3 |
| Restaurant, two terminals and kitchen printer: Access POS Package D, two-computer licence | $3,120 + 24 × $120 = $6,000. With EFTPOS-link and takeout modules (+$600, then +$40 a month): $7,560, before volume discounts | One terminal, receipt printer, drawer and kitchen printer; second terminal not priced | Ex GST | Second terminal |
| Restaurant: Codingclave hosted | A$1,620, if two terminals fit the plan's device limit | A$4,315–A$5,914 ex GST (A$4,747–A$6,505 inc GST) | No GST charged on our software | Contractor cabling |
Buying everything new, our hosted plan and Package B finish within a few hundred dollars of each other over three years. We come out ahead when you reuse compatible hardware (A$1,620 against $4,310), when you need stock control (included with ours, a $300 module plus $10 a month there), and after year 3, when the Access POS licence alone is $960 a year against our A$540 at today's prices. The licence hosted by us costs more than the A$45 plan because one licence gets a server of its own; choose it to own the code, and use the hosted line to compare like with like.
Square, Zeller and Lightspeed over five years, with card fees, are on our Australia-wide restaurant POS comparison. Renewal due soon? WhatsApp us the bill and we'll run these sums on your figures.

POS hardware for a Brisbane venue: shopping list with retail prices
We don't sell hardware. With us, POS installation in Brisbane has two halves: a Brisbane electrician or IT contractor runs the cabling and mounts the kit, then we configure the system remotely outside your service times, within our Mon–Sat 2:30pm–11:30pm Brisbane window. Send model numbers before you spend anything; compatibility is confirmed in writing for your business before you sign. Prices are from Cash Register Warehouse because it prints every figure; buy wherever you like.
| Item | Price | Café counter | Restaurant with kitchen | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NeoPOS CA255W touch POS bundle | $2,199 | One option, printer and drawer in the box | One per station | Terminal, Epson TM-T82IV USB printer, cash drawer, keyboard, mouse, rolls and its own NeoPOS software |
| HP Engage One Pro G2 15.6-inch touch terminal | $2,849 | The other option, plus printer and drawer | One per station | Terminal only |
| Epson TM-T82IV Ethernet printer | $349 | With the HP terminal | Yes, at the pass | Wired, so it suits the kitchen |
| Vpos EC-410 cash drawer | $109 | With the HP terminal, if you take cash | Yes | – |
| 24 × 80x80 thermal rolls | $59.95 | Yes | Yes | Receipts and kitchen dockets |
The kitchen screen and EFTPOS terminal are left off on purpose: the right display and whether your card terminal links to the POS depend on your models. Already own a compatible terminal, printer or drawer? Keep it and take that line off the bill.

Which features matter for which Brisbane venues
These describe how parts of the city trade, not client stories.
Brisbane CBD weekday lunch counters
Office workers arrive in one burst between noon and 1:30pm. A kitchen display with ageing timers puts the oldest order first, modifier sheets capture 'no onion, extra shot' at the till, and send-to-kitchen means nobody walks dockets to the pass.
Fortitude Valley and West End bars
Tabs held open for hours, one bill split five ways, two tables merging: split, merge and tip handling cover that, and PIN logins with an audit trail show who voided what at 11pm. After 11:30pm our day has ended, so late trade falls back on standalone EFTPOS and paper dockets.
New Farm, Bulimba and Paddington weekend brunch
The floor plan shows which tables are seated, waiting on the bill or free, with reservations alongside, so a host can turn a two-top without walking the room. For WhatsApp bookings without answering the phone, see booking automation for Brisbane venues. Brunch is outside our hours, so set-up finishes before the weekend.
Sunnybank and Woolloongabba multi-cuisine menus
Long menus need modifiers per dish, a searchable menu catalogue, and a sold-out toggle that marks a dish sold out across the POS and kitchen screens. Daily reports and recipe-level stock with low-stock alerts show what to reorder before a busy week such as the Ekka.
Opening a second venue? The multi-outlet menu runs both from one place. A pub with rooms upstairs also needs hotel management software. For venue website costs, see our Brisbane website prices.

Queensland set-up before your first service
Card surcharges on eftpos, Mastercard and Visa ended on 1 October 2026 (RBA), so the surcharge line in the POS, your receipts and any menu mentioning a card fee need changing. The RBA's FAQ says weekend, Sunday and public-holiday surcharges still apply, and discounts for paying a particular way are still allowed. Queensland has no daylight saving, so timestamps never jump an hour. Card-fee arithmetic is on our national POS page.
| Date | Holiday | Applies to | POS set-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thu 24 Dec 2026, 6pm–midnight | Christmas Eve part-day | All of Qld | Time-window rule, not all day |
| Fri 25 Dec 2026 | Christmas Day | All of Qld | Full day |
| Sat 26 and Mon 28 Dec 2026 | Boxing Day, plus the substitute Monday | All of Qld | Two full days; the Monday is easy to miss |
| Fri 1 Jan 2027 | New Year's Day | All of Qld | Full day |
| Tue 26 Jan 2027 | Australia Day | All of Qld | Full day |
| Fri 26 to Mon 29 Mar 2027 | Good Friday to Easter Monday | All of Qld | Four full days |
| Mon 26 Apr 2027 | Anzac Day, observed | All of Qld | 25 April is a Sunday, so Monday is the holiday |
| Mon 3 May 2027 | Labour Day | All of Qld | Full day |
| Wed 11 Aug 2027 | Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) | Brisbane area only | Full day, if your suburb is inside the show-holiday area |
| Mon 4 Oct 2027 | King's Birthday | All of Qld | Full day, held in October |
| Fri 24 Dec 2027, 6pm–midnight | Christmas Eve part-day | All of Qld | Time-window rule |
Delivery tablets. Getting Uber Eats and DoorDash orders straight into the POS is custom work: whether it can be done for your venue is confirmed in writing before you sign, then quoted inside our restaurant ordering band of A$3,900–A$23,500. Menulog closed in Australia on 26 November 2025 (ABC), even though the Access POS takeout module still names it. For commission-free direct orders, see online ordering for restaurants, cafés and takeaways; for an app under your own brand, see Brisbane app developers.
Grants. On 7 October 2026 the Business Queensland grants schedule listed no open grant covering POS or software, so budget without one.

Brisbane dinner service is covered; breakfast, lunch and Sunday aren’t
Triniteq and Pratham both sell support in an Australian time zone, and for a venue opening at 6:30am that's a fair point. Our day runs Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 19:00 India time. Queensland keeps AEST all year, so in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast that is always 2:30pm to 11:30pm.
| Brisbane service period | Typical time | Inside our hours? | What keeps you trading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breakfast, brunch and lunch | 6:30am–2:30pm | No | Standalone EFTPOS terminal, paper dockets |
| Afternoon prep | 2:30–5pm | Yes: the 2.5 hours we share with a 9–5 office day | Menu and price edits during our working hours |
| Dinner, Mon–Sat, including Saturday 7pm | 5–9:30pm | Yes | Remote help on WhatsApp or video |
| Bar trade, Mon–Sat | 9:30–11:30pm | Yes | The same |
| Valley late trade, and all of Sunday | 11:30pm to close; Sunday all day | No | Standalone EFTPOS, paper dockets |

Leaving a Brisbane reseller contract without paying twice
Access POS bills a year in advance, so switching a month after renewal wastes up to 11 months of fees. Five steps avoid paying for two systems.
Find your licence anniversary
The renewal date is on your last licence invoice, and the unused part of a prepaid year isn't refunded. Plan the move for the weeks before it.
Export what you’ve already built
Ask your supplier for your menu, items, modifiers and sales history, and the file format. The menu matters most: re-keying 200 dishes with modifiers is a long night.
Reuse your terminal and printers
Send the model numbers of your terminal, printers and cash drawer. Each is cleared for reuse or flagged for replacement before you buy anything.
Run both for one quiet night
Pick a Monday or Tuesday dinner inside our hours. Ring sample orders through both systems, compare end-of-night figures, and keep the old one until they match.
Get the move priced in AUD first
Migration is one fixed AUD figure, with your go-live date in the same written quote, before work starts. Bespoke reports or new integrations go to custom software for Brisbane businesses.
Send your renewal invoice before the anniversary date. We reply with a side-by-side 3-year cost, yours against ours. Moving before the next year is billed is where the saving is.
08of 9
Choose Idealpos, Triniteq or StarPOS instead if…
If any of these describe your venue, pick one of the suppliers competing for Brisbane venues: Idealpos, Triniteq, Access POS or StarPOS from the price table, or H&L and SwiftPOS, which the Brisbane listicle also ranks.
You run a retail shop
Our POS is for hospitality only. A boutique, newsagency or bottle shop needs barcode-led stock and returns from a retail supplier.
You’re a club with gaming or memberships
Gaming and membership systems need a POS supplier that already connects to them. We don't.
You want someone on site
We make no on-site visits. If a technician at the door matters, choose an installer with people in Brisbane.
Your busiest trade is Sunday, breakfast or round the clock
Live help at 7am, at any hour on a Sunday, or round the clock across a franchise group falls outside our working day.
Who ours suits. Owner-run cafés, restaurants and bars that trade mostly Monday to Saturday evenings, want to own the code and want a fixed 3-year software cost.
Marketing a new venue? See getting a new Valley bar found on Google or paid search for a Brisbane opening. Nobody can guarantee rankings or bookings, and we won't.

Who builds and supports your POS from India
The POS is built and supported by Codingclave Development LLP in Lucknow, India, founded in 2017 and still run day to day by its founder, Ashish Sharma. There is no Australian office, ABN or staff. Before trusting a system you'll ring sales through every night, weigh the record we can show: ★ 4.9 on Google (76 reviews), 200+ projects since 2017, Top Rated on Upwork, and founder-led delivery. Read the reviews and past projects.
What protects you. Card payments go through your own EFTPOS provider and never touch us, and a licence comes with the full source code, so any developer can maintain it later. Payment stages and any warranty or bug-fix period are set out in writing before you sign.
Seeing it first. Watch the restaurant POS walkthrough, then ask for a live demo on a video call.

Optional extras
Hosting, backups, monitoring and support
For licence owners who would rather we ran the server, backups and monitoring. A single licence gets its own server, which is why this costs more than the A$45 plan.
Custom restaurant POS + commission-free online ordering
Commission-free online ordering for your venue, or custom POS changes. Whether Uber Eats or DoorDash orders can feed the POS is confirmed in writing before you sign.
- Fixed price in AUD
- Free scoping call
- No obligation
No GST is charged on these prices; the GST note explains why. You buy the hardware, your Brisbane contractor bills the cabling, and card fees stay between you and your EFTPOS provider.
Settled in writing before you sign: devices and outlets on the hosted plan; the licence update price after month 3; whether your EFTPOS terminal links to the POS; your kitchen display and reused hardware; GST item set-up, surcharge rules and hosting region; a fixed AUD price and go-live date for migration and delivery-app work; payment stages and any warranty or bug-fix period.
Prices are in Australian dollars and do not include GST: Codingclave is an overseas (India-based) supplier and is not registered for Australian GST. If your business is GST-registered, check with your accountant whether the reverse-charge rules apply to imported services.
