About CubePOS

A restaurant POS system built for Cambridge's mix of college, café and tourist trade

Cambridge hospitality has a rhythm all of its own — student term-time rushes, weekend tourist crowds along the river, and a thriving independent café and brunch scene that runs at full pace every single day. CubePOS is a cloud-based restaurant EPOS system designed specifically for the demands of independent Cambridge restaurants and cafes, from punt-side picnic spots near the Backs to busy lunch counters around Market Square and King's Parade.

Unlike legacy EPOS systems that tie you to expensive proprietary hardware and multi-year contracts, CubePOS runs on any iPad you already own. Setup takes less than a day. Your menu, floor plan, and staff accounts are configured through a simple web-based back office, and the moment you activate the app, you're ready for service.

CubePOS connects your front-of-house and kitchen seamlessly. When a server takes an order on the floor — whether using the main iPad terminal or the mobile waiter app — that ticket appears instantly on the kitchen display system. Course timing, modifier notes, dietary flags: all transmitted in real time, reducing miscommunication and improving the consistency of every plate that leaves the kitchen, even during a packed Saturday lunch service.

At the end of each shift, CubePOS gives you a clear picture of performance. Sales by table, by item, by server, by time period. Stock levels updated automatically as dishes are ordered. Z-reports generated in seconds. All of it accessible from your phone or laptop, whether you're on site or checking in remotely from outside the city.

Cambridge restaurant and cafe operators choose CubePOS because it combines the features of enterprise EPOS systems with the pricing and simplicity of a small-business tool. At a flat monthly rate with no per-transaction fees and no hidden charges, it's one of the most cost-effective restaurant POS systems available in Cambridge today.

Key features

Everything a Cambridge restaurant or cafe needs from an EPOS system

Designed for independent restaurants and cafes, not enterprise chains. Every feature in CubePOS is built to solve real problems on a busy Cambridge floor.

Table management

Mirror your exact floor plan in CubePOS. Manage walk-ins, track table status, handle split bills and course timing — all from one intuitive screen.

Kitchen display system (KDS)

Orders are sent to the kitchen screen the moment they're placed. Reduce ticket errors, manage course timing, and communicate allergen alerts without a printer.

Ingredient-level inventory

Track stock at ingredient level. Get real-time alerts before you run out mid-service, and reduce wastage with consumption reports after every shift.

Mobile waiter app

Servers take orders tableside on iPhone or iPad without returning to the terminal. Orders go straight to the KDS. Faster service, fewer steps, happier guests.

Handle busy brunch and lunch rushes with ease. Dietary requirements, substitutions, allergy notes and special requests are captured in taps — not written notes.
