And all the little things that matter

  • Shifts & PINs

    Staff start a shift with their own PIN, and several people can be on shift at once. Tap a name to take the till, and Log out ends just that person's shift. Every sale, void and refund is linked to who did it, and manager-only actions need the manager PIN.

  • Receipts & cash drawer

    Prints to standard 80 mm thermal receipt printers and opens the cash drawer.

  • Floor ordering pad

    Staff on shift tap their name on a phone over the shop Wi-Fi, take orders, and they go straight to the till. Switch hands or log out from the phone.

  • Your brand

    Your venue name and logo on screen and on every receipt.

  • Your data stays local

    Sales are stored on your computer, not someone else's server, with automatic backups.

  • Auto favourites

    Best sellers join Favourites on their own once they've sold enough. You pick how many sales.

  • UK & SA starter menus

    Start from a ready-made UK or South African drinks menu, then edit prices, items and categories.

  • Any card machine

    Pick yours from a list grouped by region, such as SumUp, Zettle, Square, Dojo, Verifone or Clover. Take the payment on the machine as usual and confirm it on the till. No need to change provider.

  • Mixer prices

    Charge a different price when a drink goes in as a mixer, set from the Mixers category. The till price stays as it is, and the floor pad uses the mixer price too.

  • Fits your screen

    The till sizes itself to your screen, from a small touch screen to a big monitor. Drag it by the top bar, and it remembers where you put it.

  • Quiet-till timer

    After 60, 90 or 180 seconds without a tap, the till asks who's serving next. Everyone stays on shift, and the tab and order stay open.

  • Stock by the litre

    Bottle stock shows in litres and millilitres, such as 6 × 750 ml · 4.5 L. Wine comes off by the glass, spirits by the shot.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How many computers can I use it on?

One licence activates TillOwn on one computer. Running more than one till? Buy one licence per till.

How do I move it to a new computer?

In TillOwn, open Settings and press Deactivate licence. Then install TillOwn on the new computer and enter the same key. You can do this whenever you change computers.

Do I get updates?

TillOwn is actively developed by ICAREngine. When a new version comes out, download it and install it. Your licence key and your sales data stay as they are. Questions about a release? Email [email protected].

Which card machines work?

Any. Pick yours from the list in settings (grouped by region, with SumUp, Zettle, Square, Dojo, Verifone, Clover and more) or choose Manual. Take the payment on the machine as usual and confirm it in TillOwn as a card sale. TillOwn doesn't take the payment itself, so you don't have to change provider.

Can more than one person use the till?

Yes. Each person starts a shift with their own PIN, and several people can be on shift at once. Tap a name to take the till, and Log out ends only that person's shift. Staff can also take orders from a phone on the shop Wi-Fi.

What size screen do I need?

TillOwn adjusts itself to your screen, from a small touch screen to a large monitor, and remembers where you put the window. A touch screen is recommended but not required.

Does it need the internet?

Only to activate, and for a quick licence check now and then. Selling works offline, and the till keeps running for 7 days without a connection.

Does it run on Windows and Mac?

Yes, both. TillOwn runs on Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 12 or later, and on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Your licence works on either, so you can choose when you download. On Windows you may see a one-time "unknown publisher" prompt: choose More info, then Run anyway. A touch screen is recommended but not required.

Is there really no monthly fee?

Yes. You pay £149 once and the software is yours.

Can I get a refund?

Payments and refunds are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our checkout provider. If something isn't right, email [email protected] with your order details and we'll help.

How do I get support?

Email [email protected]. You'll hear back from the people who make TillOwn.
