Square was built for everyone. Fern was built for the independent café, restaurant, and bar owner who wants a platform that actually understands their day, and someone to call when it doesn't.
Split bills, allergens, table service, multi-site, offline resilience and a full audit trail. All built in, never a paid add-on.
Evenly, by item, or by free-form amount. The next card collects automatically once one is paid.
Tag once in the menu. Staff see them on every order, customers see them on every receipt.
Draw your floor plan once. The POS picks up where the previous shift left off, open tabs survive a tablet swap.
Open the admin panel from anywhere. Every metric updates as your POS rings transactions through.
EOD reconciliation built in. Variances are highlighted; history is searchable. No spreadsheet maths at midnight.
Every refund, role change, menu edit, and stock adjustment is logged with who and when. Filterable in the admin panel.
Compared with the typical entry-tier hospitality POS, the kind most independents shortlist when they're starting out.
"Entry tier" reflects the standard plans on the most common UK hospitality POS products in early 2026. Higher-tier plans may add some of these features at additional cost. We'll update this comparison as competitors evolve.
One low monthly fee for the whole platform, with Stripe's rate passed through at cost. Every feature is included: bookings, ordering, loyalty, vouchers and reporting. No minimum term.
Processing fees reduce as platform volume grows. Any savings are passed on to every venue on the platform.
Independent Welsh hospitality and retail deserve a POS built for them.
