Foodhub, the all in one venue platform that does not clip your tickets.

Most hospitality tech makes money two ways: a fee to use it, and a slice of every order on top. Foodhub is built differently. You pay a flat fee to run the system and keep the commission that the marketplaces would otherwise take. Here is our honest read on what that means for an Australian venue.

Our verdict in one line

For a growing cafe, restaurant or takeaway doing real volume, Foodhub is the option we point to most often. The flat fee model means your cost stops scaling with your success, which is the exact opposite of how percentage based systems behave. It is not the right fit for everyone, and below we lay out plainly where it shines and where it does not.

What it actually is

One connected system instead of five separate bills

The pitch behind Foodhub is consolidation. Rather than paying one company for your point of sale, another for online ordering, another for a booking widget, and a delivery aggregator skimming a quarter of every order on top, Foodhub bundles the lot into a single platform that talks to itself. Orders from the counter, your own website, the phone, and their marketplace all land in the same place and print to the same kitchen.

In practice that means fewer screens behind the counter, fewer invoices at the end of the month, and fewer moments where two systems disagree about what a customer actually ordered. For an owner who is sick of reconciling four dashboards, that simplicity is the real product.

Foodhub EPOS point of sale terminal

The EPOS terminal

The hub of the system. Takes orders in store, online and over the phone, pushes them to the kitchen, and runs your reporting from one screen. Built in caller ID pulls up a returning customer and their order history the moment the phone rings.

Foodhub self serve ordering kiosk

Self serve kiosks

Touchscreen ordering that cuts queues at peak and quietly lifts average spend, because a screen upsells every single time without ever forgetting. Tap to pay built in. Strong fit for quick service and high footfall venues.

Foodhub integrated payment terminal

Integrated payments

The payment terminal talks directly to the POS, so there is no keying totals twice and no end of day mismatch. Pay by link and QR are supported, and the transaction rates sit competitively against the big names.

Foodhub marketplace ordering app

The marketplace listing

EPOS partners get a free listing on the Foodhub consumer app and portal. The only cost on those orders is payment processing, the same rate as your own website, rather than the heavy commission a delivery aggregator would charge.

Foodhub for business

Their official channel runs through the hardware and the ordering flow far better than a screenshot can. Worth two minutes if you want to see how the pieces fit together before you talk to anyone.

The honest read

Where Foodhub wins, and where it does not

We rate suppliers independently, and we earn a fee from some of them, including Foodhub. That is exactly why we put the weak spots in writing. Here is the balanced picture.

What we like

  • Flat fee model means your cost does not climb every time you have a good week.
  • One platform for POS, ordering, kiosks, payments and delivery, so fewer bills and fewer systems fighting each other.
  • Free marketplace listing for EPOS partners, with only payment processing to pay on those orders.
  • Caller ID and customer recognition are genuinely useful for phone heavy takeaways.
  • Strong value for venues past roughly five hundred thousand dollars in revenue, where percentage fees really bite.

Where to be careful

  • Pricing is quote based, not published, so you need to actually get numbers before comparing.
  • The flat fee is harder to justify for a very low volume venue where a percentage system stays cheap.
  • Australian support is solid but the company is global, so set expectations on response times.
  • The all in one approach is a strength only if you genuinely use most of it. Buying the suite to use a third of it is poor value.
Pricing, plainly

What it costs, and why we cannot just publish a number

Foodhub does not publish a fixed price list, and we will not invent one. The fee is set on a usage based model, so a single terminal cafe and a three site group pay very different things. What we can tell you is the shape of it, and the rough range venues report.

These are indicative figures based on what venues report and the published model, not a formal quote. The real number depends on your terminals, volume and which parts of the suite you take. Getting you that accurate, negotiated number is exactly what we do, free.

Is it right for you

Who Foodhub actually suits

Busy cafe or restaurant
Strong fit. Once you are doing real volume, the flat fee beats a percentage model comfortably and the single system saves admin.
Phone heavy takeaway
Strong fit. Caller ID, the marketplace listing and integrated delivery were built for exactly this.
Quick service / high footfall
Strong fit. The kiosks pay for themselves through faster queues and higher average spend.
Multi site group
Good fit. Consolidated invoicing and consistent pricing across sites, with reporting in one place.
Very low volume / brand new venue
Maybe not yet. At low card volume a no monthly fee percentage system can stay cheaper until you grow into the flat fee.
