Overview
Of the sellers on Google's first page for Perth, only two publish a fixed price: Access POS lists restaurant software at A$1,650 ex GST, then A$80 ex GST a month from year two, and OzPos lists A$1,499 with one year of software. A$449 is software only, so you bring or buy the hardware. Help is remote, on WhatsApp, 12:30pm to 9:30pm Perth time, Monday to Saturday.

Restaurant POS prices in Perth, checked 7 October 2026
On 7 October 2026 we went through the providers on Google's first page for 'restaurant POS system Perth'. Six of the eight ranking pages show no dollar figure; SwiftPOS, built for clubs and venue groups, and Unlimited Tech of Cockburn Central give nothing to compare, so they sit outside the table.
| Provider | Base and contact | Published price | What it covers | GST basis | From month 13 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Access POS, software only | NSW-based (Casuarina); sells into WA via (08) 6388 1118 and possystemperth.com.au | A$1,650 | Software, menu programming and set-up | Ex GST | A$80 a month for one terminal (A$120 for two), billed yearly in advance, 12-month minimum |
| Access POS Package B | As above | A$2,390 (was A$3,690) | 15-inch touch terminal, receipt printer, drawer, software, Windows 11 Pro, 12 months' phone and remote support | Ex GST | Same fee |
| Access POS Package D | As above | A$3,120 (was A$4,420) | Package B plus a kitchen printer | Ex GST | Same fee |
| Access POS Package I | As above | A$4,770 (was A$6,070) | Package D plus tablet ordering; you supply a Surface Go 3 | Ex GST | Same fee |
| Access POS modules | As above | A$300 each; Xero link A$1,500 | EFTPOS Link, stock, takeaway and delivery, loyalty, accounts, lay-by | Ex GST | +A$10 a month each |
| OzPos S1 | North Sydney address, (02) 7251 9712 | A$1,499 (was A$2,099) | 15.1-inch Android display, drawer, printer, 1-year software licence, menu set-up, training (free installation limited to the first 10 customers, per OzPos) | Not stated | Licence renewal not stated |
| MCR Point of Sale (Idealpos) | Perth, (08) 9240 2700 | Quote only | Idealpos software and hardware; Silver Chef finance | n/a | n/a |
| Triniteq | 1300 784 666 | Monthly estimate builder, no plan prices shown | Advertises zero transaction fees and no lock-in contracts | n/a | n/a |
| OrderMate | Sold through a West Perth reseller | Enquiry only | Advertises 24/7 support | n/a | n/a |
| Codingclave | Remote, from Lucknow, India | A$449 once, or A$45 a month hosted | Software only; the licence includes source code and 3 months of updates | No GST added (see the GST note with our prices) | Licence runs on unpaid; optional updates priced before you sign. Hosted: A$45 a month |

Module by module: what a Perth café pays Access POS vs A$449, years one and two
Take a Perth café that owns a working terminal and wants stock control, takeaway orders and an EFTPOS link on top of base software. Here is that bill on Access POS's published list, carried into year two, beside ours. The sums are our arithmetic, not a quote from either business; ask Access POS to confirm its month-13 fee applies to a software-only purchase too.
| What the café needs | Access POS | Codingclave |
|---|---|---|
| Base restaurant software | A$1,650 | A$449 |
| Stock control | +A$300 | Included: recipe-level inventory with low-stock alerts |
| Takeaway and delivery | +A$300 | Dine-in and takeaway included; Uber Eats or DoorDash feeds quoted as custom work |
| EFTPOS link | +A$300 | Staff key the total into your own card terminal; a direct link is checked per terminal model, or quoted |
| Kitchen display screen | No KDS listed (Package D adds a kitchen printer) | Kitchen display with ageing timers included |
| Loyalty | +A$300 | Not in our feature list; quoted if you need it |
| Xero | +A$1,500 | Custom work through our Xero and MYOB integration service |
| Software total, year one | A$2,550 ex GST (A$2,805 inc GST) | A$449. EFTPOS runs side by side, not linked |
| Year two: licence and support | A$80 + 3 × A$10 = A$110 a month, billed yearly: A$1,320 ex GST | Nothing required; updates optional, priced before you sign |
| Two-year software total | A$3,870 ex GST (A$4,257 inc GST) | A$449 on the licence, or A$1,080 over 24 months hosted |
The comparison flips if you have no hardware: Access POS Package B puts a terminal, printer and drawer in the box for A$2,390 ex GST, and A$449 buys none of that. National hardware prices and the longer-run cost comparison are on our Australian POS page.
No hardware yet? Send your counter layout and we'll list a terminal, receipt printer and drawer that work with our POS, to buy anywhere. Ask what hardware to buy.

What year two costs: Access POS publishes it, OzPos doesn’t
A first-year price tells you little alone. Here is what page-one sellers say about month 13 onwards, and our answer.
What Perth-ranked sellers publish for month 13
Access POS's licence and support page bills A$80 ex GST a month for one computer, yearly in advance after the first 12 months, with a 12-month minimum, no refund of unused months, possible small yearly rises and A$10 a month per extra module. OzPos doesn't price the second year. MCR, Triniteq and OrderMate publish nothing.
Four questions for any Perth seller
- The year-two software price: renewal, subscription or nothing.
- The year-two support price, and its hours on a Perth clock.
- Warranty terms. Access POS lists 24 months on terminals; ask about printers and drawers.
- How your menu, sales and customer records come out if you leave.
Our side of the same question
The A$449 licence has no renewal: your self-hosted copy keeps running without another payment. The first 3 months of updates are included; after that they're optional, at a yearly price set down on your confirmation list before you pay anything. The hosted plan is A$45 a month. Licence owners already hold the source code and database; on the hosted plan, the export you receive on leaving, and its format, is confirmed before you sign.

Café POS in Perth: the coffee counter, the brunch rush and the dinner floor
The top autocomplete for this search is 'cafe pos system perth', yet no ranking page is written for a café. From a Leederville espresso bar to a Northbridge dinner kitchen, this is what the software does through a trading day.
Oat, extra shot, half-strength
Milk, shots, strength and size sit on modifier sheets attached to each drink, so the barista reads the same ticket every time and the extra shot is charged, not forgotten. Food works the same way: gluten-free bread, no onion.
The 8am queue at the counter
Touch ordering keeps the till moving, and each staff member signs in with a personal PIN. Every void, discount and refund is logged against whoever made it, so the cash count reconciles faster.
Out of banana bread at 2pm
The sold-out toggle pulls an item off the ordering screen when the last slice goes. For lines you track, recipe-level inventory raises low-stock alerts before that point.
Coffee to the machine, food to the pass
Orders reach the kitchen as tickets the moment they're placed. Whether drinks and food split to separate stations is checked in the demo against your layout, not promised up front.
A table of ten after the Eagles at Optus Stadium
Split the bill by person or by item, merge tables when the group spreads out, and record tips against the right payment. The kitchen display shows each order with an ageing timer, so the oldest ticket stands out across the pass.
After close, daypart and top-dish reports show whether weekend brunch out-earns weeknight dinner. Need a café website too? Perth website prices are on our Perth page.

Perth’s service day against our hours and an east-coast support desk
WA stays on AWST all year, so our Monday-to-Saturday India working day of 10:00 to 19:00 is 12:30pm to 9:30pm in Perth every week. Access POS's contact page gives support hours of 9am to 5pm Sydney time, weekdays: 6am to 2pm in Perth while the east is on daylight saving (4 October 2026 to 4 April 2027), then 7am to 3pm.
| Perth time | Your venue | Access POS support | Us |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekdays 6am–12:30pm | Breakfast service and lunch prep | Open | Offline. A breakfast café trades mostly before we're online; a 7am till fault runs on the standalone card terminal and paper dockets until 12:30pm |
| Weekdays 12:30–2pm | Lunch | Open | On WhatsApp |
| Weekdays 2–5pm | The lull before dinner | Closed | Demos, set-up and menu-change calls |
| Weekdays 5–9:30pm | Dinner service | Closed | On WhatsApp |
| After 9:30pm | Late close and cash-up | Closed | Not covered; your message waits until we're back, from 12:30pm Perth time on our next working day (Monday, after a Saturday night) |
| Saturday | Trading | No cover | 12:30pm–9:30pm |
| Sunday | Trading | No cover | No cover |
Side by side, the two desks share only 12:30pm to 2pm on a weekday, and the east-coast one is gone before Perth's dinner trade begins. We have no 24/7 phone line and no technician on site; if the POS plays up mid-service, a standalone card terminal keeps taking payments and paper dockets keep the kitchen moving.

Replacing an ageing Idealpos, Aloha or Windows terminal
MCR has partnered with Idealpos for over 25 years, and Access POS sells its own Windows-based packages, its older possystemperth.com.au site still referring to NCR Aloha. If your venue runs one of these on tired hardware, the software can change before the kit does: ours runs in a web browser on touch terminals, PCs and tablets.
Bring these details to the demo
- Terminal make, model and Windows version
- Receipt and kitchen printer models
- How the cash drawer connects
- Your EFTPOS terminal and provider
- A menu export (ask your reseller for a CSV)
Each device is checked during the demo and the result goes on your confirmation list.
If the old kit has to go
The buy-new reference is Access POS Package B at A$2,390 ex GST, or Package D with a kitchen printer at A$3,120 ex GST. MCR still stocks cash registers and drawers if you're coming up from a basic register.
The sales-suppression ban
Making, supplying, owning or using electronic sales suppression tools has been an offence in Australia since 4 October 2018. How our audit trail fits that rule is on our Australian POS page.

EFTPOS after 1 October and delivery apps after Menulog
Card terminals now that surcharges have gone
The Reserve Bank confirmed on 31 March 2026 that surcharges on eftpos, Mastercard and Visa cards would end, and since 1 October 2026 a Perth café has had no way to add one to those payments. What matters now is which terminal talks to the POS: Access POS charges A$300 ex GST for its EFTPOS Link, and Triniteq advertises a choice of provider. Ours sits beside a standalone terminal from any provider, with a direct connection checked terminal by terminal. Card-fee arithmetic is on our Australian POS page.
Delivery apps without Menulog
Menulog shut its Australian ordering down at 11:59pm AEDT on Wednesday 26 November 2025. Uber and DoorDash, with 53.8% and 14.6% of the market on IBISWorld's 2024 figures cited by ABC News, are the two large national apps still operating. Access POS's Takeout & Delivery module still names Menulog, Uber Eats and Deliveroo (checked 7 Oct 2026), so ask any seller what its delivery link reaches today. Ours has no built-in app link: piping Uber Eats or DoorDash tickets into the POS or kitchen screen is a separate build, priced for your accounts first. For commission maths see our restaurants, cafés and takeaways page; a custom POS with commission-free ordering under your own name costs A$3,900–A$23,500 (see Perth app developers and Perth custom software).

When MCR, Triniteq or OrderMate’s West Perth reseller is the better buy
Someone at the door on a Friday night, or on Rottnest
If a dead terminal at 7pm on a Friday needs a person on site, talk to MCR in Perth or Triniteq, which advertises local technicians and names Rottnest and Margaret River in its WA coverage. We can't send anyone.
POS, EFTPOS, support and finance from one Australian business
A reseller bundle makes one Australian company answerable for till, card terminal and support, and MCR offers Silver Chef finance. With us, the terminal and its contract come from your own provider, and we don't finance hardware.
Phone help around the clock
OrderMate advertises 24/7 support by phone, SMS and online, sold through 21st Century Business Equipment in West Perth. We answer on WhatsApp in our hours only.
Breakfast-only cafés
If you close at 2pm, we're online for about 90 minutes of your trading day. For help in the morning rush, a Perth reseller or OrderMate's advertised 24/7 desk covers it, and we don't.
Clubs, stadium bars and venue groups
SwiftPOS claims 6,000+ venues, 26,000+ terminals and up to 30 days of offline redundancy, which suits a club or multi-venue group better.
Where we fit: an independent café, restaurant or takeaway with its own or newly bought hardware, wanting a software cost that doesn't climb with every module, and comfortable with WhatsApp-first help through Perth afternoons and evenings. That's you? Book a Perth-afternoon demo.

WA’s café and takeaway trade, council by council
ABS counts released on 16 December 2025 (Data cube 2) show WA's café and restaurant trade growing faster than any other state's: 4,467 at June 2025, up 5.0% in 2024-25 against 1.1% nationally, with the country's lowest exit rate, 15.0%. Takeaway food businesses grew 6.1% to 3,163. Of those cafés and restaurants, 957 employ nobody and 1,377 employ one to four people, so 52% have fewer than five staff: the one-terminal buyer that A$300 modules hurt most. An entry rate of 20.1% means about one newcomer for every five venues already trading, each buying a first POS. Statewide, trading businesses rose 4.6% to 278,520 by June 2026 (Data cube 1, Table 1).
| Council | Businesses |
|---|---|
| Stirling (takes in Scarborough) | 866 |
| City of Perth (CBD and Northbridge) | 658 |
| Wanneroo | 579 |
| Swan | 564 |
| Canning | 484 |
| Gosnells | 456 |
| Joondalup | 414 |
| Cockburn | 371 |
| Melville | 348 |
| Bayswater | 347 |
| Vincent (Leederville, North Perth) | 319 |
| Victoria Park | 269 |
| Fremantle | 248 |
| Subiaco | 130 |
Most of these are venues with fewer than 20 staff, where a software saving of about A$1,200 is real money. If yours is one of them, send us your set-up.
