Perth EPOS and Commission-Free Online Ordering System
The rush in Perth comes suddenly, unlike other places where it starts slowly. Within a few minutes, the quiet shift becomes hectic, and before you know it, you are juggling many tasks, including attending to the counter, online customers, and calls. That’s when messy systems and scattered orders start to show their cracks.
That’s where Grub Direct, a reliable EPOS software for Perth, comes in. It gives restaurants a simpler way to han

Running a Restaurant in Perth Is Different
Perth isn’t Edinburgh or Glasgow. There’s no festival spike to offset a slow February, and there’s no wall-to-wall tourist trade to absorb bad margins. What Perth restaurants have is a loyal, local customer base and that base notices when you’re good, and remembers when you’re not.
The pressure here is quiet and consistent. Weekend lunch, Friday night takeaway rush, the mid-week dinner trade that keeps the lights on. Most Perth restaurants manage this on tight teams, which means every system you use either helps or gets in the way.
That’s what Grub Direct is built for: making the ordinary running of your restaurant simpler, so you can focus on the food and the people, not the software.
What Does Commission Actually Cost a Perth Restaurant?
Perth’s average restaurant order value sits between £18–£28. At 13% commission on a platform like Just Eat or Uber Eats, that’s £3.60–£5.60 gone from every single order before you’ve covered ingredients, wages, or overheads.
Run 40 online orders a week and you’re handing away £150–£220 every seven days. That’s over £8,000 a year leaving your till and going to a platform that doesn’t know your name, your food, or your regulars.
With Grub Direct, those orders come directly to you. Zero commission. Fixed monthly cost. The maths speaks for itself.
Why GrubDirect?
Everything Your Perth Restaurant Needs, In One System
Unlike other EPOS tools that handle one thing well and leave gaps everywhere else, Grub Direct is a complete platform. Here’s what’s included for Perth restaurants:
Commission-Free Online Ordering
Your own branded ordering page, your name, your domain, your checkout. Customers order directly from you. You keep 100% of the order value.
Branded Mobile App (Apple & Google Play)
A fully branded app in your restaurant’s name, listed on both app stores. Perth customers can reorder their favourites in seconds and they’re your customers, not the platform’s.
Full Point of Sale (POS)
Dine-in, takeaway, phone, and online orders managed from a single screen. No switching between tablets or systems when the Saturday rush hits. Everything in one place, in real time.
AI-Powered Reservation System with Google Integration
Customers can book a table directly from your Google listing. The tables will then be allocated automatically by the system; maximising the number of covers, decreasing waiting times and having the front of house running smoothly, without juggling tables.
Loyalty & Marketing Automation (SMS/Email)
Build a Perth customer database and actually use it. Send automated SMS campaigns for quiet Tuesday nights, email promotions for special menus, loyalty rewards for regulars. The tools are built in with no separate marketing platform needed.
Payment Terminal Integration
Accept card payments, split bills, and track VAT from the same system. One reconciliation at the end of day, not three.
Easy Menu Management
Update prices, add specials, or pull items when you run out from any device, in real time. Useful for Perth’s seasonal menus and daily specials boards.
UK-Based Support (24/7)
Our support team is based in the UK. When something goes wrong mid-service on a Saturday night, you’re not waiting for an offshore helpdesk to come online.
A System That Understands How Perth Restaurants Actually Work
Perth’s hospitality trade doesn’t follow one pattern. You’ve got the weekday coffee-and-lunch crowd along the High Street, the Friday night curry trade in Kinnoull, the Sundays-only family dining restaurants near Scone Palace, and the seasonal uptick that comes with the Perthshire tourism months.
Grub Direct can cope with all of it. If it’s a quiet Tuesday afternoon working with two members of staff or a fully booked Saturday night service, the system scales with you, you don’t have to change how you work to suit the software.
⭐Specifically useful for Perth’s mix of restaurants:
- Independent cafes and coffee shops: Click & collect, loyalty rewards, and a lunch ordering system that handles the midday spike without adding front-of-house pressure.
- Takeaways and delivery kitchens: Direct ordering, kitchen display, and zero commission on every order
- Dine-in restaurants: AI reservations, Google booking integration, full POS, and marketing tools to fill quiet covers
- Multi-course and event dining: Menu management, deposit handling, and pre-order capability for special menus
