The counter, under control.
The complete EPOS system for busy counters — 15.6" HD till and Air card machine, one transparent price.
Front of house
Built for the rush
When the queue is out the door, the till can't be the bottleneck. Countertop 2 runs three times faster than its predecessor on a 15.6" full-HD touchscreen — big targets, fewer mis-taps, table plans that load instantly.
Staff tap in with NFC to clock on or switch users mid-service, and new team members are ringing up sales after fifteen minutes, not a training day.

The hardware
Turn it over. Go on.
Metal chassis, 125° adjustable screen, built-in cable tidy and a wipe-down finish that survives real service. Drag the model to see every angle.
The bundle ships with the Air card machine — the same reader as Micro — so you take chip & PIN, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay from day one at 1.2% flat.
