Hardware
NFS provides purpose-built hardware to withstand the demands of a busy hospitality environment.
In addition, NFS offers a range of integration and implementation services. We ensure that our clients achieve the best return on their tech investment.
EPoS terminals
Robust terminals built for busy service.
Your EPoS terminal is the heart of the front of house. NFS supplies integrated terminals which are built for high-volume hospitality and designed to last for years of daily use.
Key points:
- High-performance all-in-one terminals: fast, responsive touchscreens in a choice of screen sizes to suit counters, bars and server stations
- Fanless, energy-efficient terminals: no fan to pull in grease and dust, ideal for bars and compact counters
- Peripherals to complete the station: receipt printers, cash drawers, customer-facing displays and programmable keyboards for one-touch actions
- Supported, not just supplied: NFS handles installation and configuration and provides ongoing support, so your terminals are ready for service from day one.
Handhelds and tablets
Aloha handhelds, iPads, and approved third-party devices.
Take Aloha EPoS to the table, terrace, or queue. With Aloha Mobile, staff can take orders and payments wherever guests are, and orders go straight to the kitchen or bar as soon as they're entered.
Key points:
- Order and pay at the table: orders fire instantly to the kitchen or bar, and guests can pay without waiting for a card machine
- Familiar for staff: the Aloha Mobile interface mirrors the fixed Aloha EPoS, so training is quick
- Guided selling: built-in prompts suggest add-ons and modifiers to lift average spend and improve order accuracy.
- Device choice:
- Rugged Aloha handhelds: Android devices with a built-in chip and contactless and swipe card readers. They're PCI certified, their batteries last a full shift, and charging bases are available.
- Apple iPad and iPhone: these run the Aloha Mobile app, which suits venues that prefer a consumer-grade device.
- Rugged Android and Windows tablets: for managers, line-busting and hosts.
- Orderman handhelds: hard-wearing kit for managers on the move, hosts on the door and staff working the queue.
Kiosks
Self-service ordering that adds capacity at peak times.
Kiosks let guests browse, customise and pay at their own pace, so your team can focus on making and serving food. Aloha Kiosk connects directly to Aloha EPoS, so orders and payments flow straight into your operation.
Key points:
- More covers without more staff: kiosks add ordering points during the lunch and evening rush without extra headcount
- Bigger baskets: automated upsell prompts never forget to offer a side or upgrade, increasing average spend
- Accurate orders: guests build their own orders, which eliminates errors and remakes
- Integrated payments: card and contactless payment are built into the ordering journey
- Flexible formats: freestanding, wall-mounted and countertop units to fit your floor space and brand
- Ideal for: QSR, fast casual, food halls, leisure venues and stadiums.
Kitchen displays and bump bars
Clear, fast order flow to the kitchen.
Replace paper tickets with a kitchen display system (KDS) that shows every order in real time, routes items to the right station, and keeps front- and back-of-house in sync. Aloha kitchen hardware is built for heat, steam, grease and round-the-clock service.
Key points:
- Kitchen touch displays: large full HD touchscreens in stainless steel enclosures that resist typical kitchen contaminants. Flexible mounting lets chefs see several orders at once.
- Kitchen controllers: solid-state units with no moving parts. They keep the kitchen running even if the connection to back-office systems drops, and you can mount them on a wall, pole, ceiling, or radial arm.
- Bump bars: aluminium-cased control pads with rubber end caps for tough kitchens. They have programmable keys to bump, recall and prioritise orders, plus an adjustable-volume speaker for alerts in noisy kitchens.
- Aloha Kitchen software: routes orders by station, tracks ticket times and lets you add or change stations without rebuilding your set-up.
- The result: fewer lost tickets, faster ticket times and better consistency on the pass.
Payment terminals
Integrated terminals from your chosen provider.
Payments should be quick for guests and easy for you to reconcile. NFS integrates Aloha EPoS with payment terminals from your chosen provider, so the bill amount goes straight to the terminal. No rekeying means fewer errors and faster table turns.
Key points:
- Every way to pay: chip and PIN, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Pay at table: portable terminals and Aloha handhelds let guests pay at their seat, split the bill and add a tip without leaving the table.
- Secure by design: point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and PCI-compliant devices protect card data.
- Integrated reconciliation: payments are recorded against the right check, which keeps end-of-day cash-up and reporting accurate.
- Provider flexibility: keep your existing acquirer or let NFS recommend a partner that suits your rates and operation.
