Why pizza and kebab shops choose uno

Pizza and kebab shops need card payments in two places - at the counter for walk-ins, phone orders, and collection, and on the doorstep for deliveries. You need speed during the Friday night rush, reliability through a long shift, and rates that make sense on orders averaging £12–£20.

We set you up with terminals for both counter and delivery, on one account, at competitive rates.

Counter payments

The Shift4 PAX A800 sits at the counter and handles the queue - fast contactless for walk-ins, chip and PIN for larger orders, and over-the-phone payments for call-ahead orders. Free for your first terminal.

Delivery payments

The Dojo PAX A920 is portable with 4G connectivity - your delivery drivers can take card payment at the door without needing the customer’s Wi-Fi. Safer than carrying cash, faster than waiting for bank transfers.

Speed when it counts

The late-night rush is relentless. Between phone orders, walk-ins, and delivery drivers cycling back, payments need to be instant. Contactless processing in under a second keeps everything moving.

Rates for your order values

With average order values of £12–£20, a lower transaction rate saves real money over a busy week. We compare every provider to find the pricing that protects your margins.

One account, multiple terminals

Counter and delivery terminals on the same account, same provider, same rate. No managing two separate contracts or providers.

Common questions from pizza and kebab owners

We need a terminal at the counter and one for delivery - is that two contracts?

No. We set up both terminals on the same merchant account at the same rate. One bill, one settlement, one point of contact for support. The countertop PAX A800 handles the shop, the portable PAX A920 goes with your driver.

The kitchen environment is hot and greasy - will the terminal survive?

We position the terminal at the counter, not in the kitchen. The customer-facing side of a fast food shop is a standard retail environment. The terminals are touchscreen devices used in thousands of food businesses daily. Contactless means neither staff nor customers need to physically handle the device during most transactions.

Can I take card payment for phone-ahead orders?

Yes. Over-the-phone payments are supported on the terminals we supply. A customer calling in a £12 fish supper order can pay by card on the phone and collect when it's ready. Saves time for them and eliminates the risk of no-shows.

We trade until 3am - will the terminal last?

The countertop terminal runs from mains power and doesn't have a battery to exhaust. For the delivery terminal, the PAX A920 battery lasts a full shift — charge it during the day when deliveries are quiet and it'll last through the late-night rush.

We get orders through Just Eat and Uber Eats - do I still need my own card machine?

Yes, for walk-ins, phone orders, and your own delivery service. Platform orders are paid through the platform. But walk-in customers, phone-ahead collection, and your own delivery runs all need a card machine. Many takeaways find that their own delivery service - without platform commission - is more profitable when they can take card payment at the door.

General questions about uno

Which card machine is right for my business?

It really does depend on how your business operates - there's no one 'best solution' for all, as a Fine Dining restaurant in Covent Garden has completely different operational requirements to a Market Trader in Glasgow's bustling Barras, or a Cardiff Arms Park pub. We make the effort to truly understand how your business actually operates - before recommending the best solution from a range of providers, not just one.

How much does a card machine cost?

It varies by provider and model. With some providers, your first card machine comes with no upfront cost, no monthly rental, and no per-transaction fees - so your only cost is the processing rate on each sale you make. Additional terminals - or those from other providers - may well carry rental or per-transaction fees. The exact cost depends on your terminal type, provider, and monthly card turnover. Because uno works across multiple providers, we compare the real-world, overall costs and then find the most competitive deal for your specific situation.

How long will it take for me to receive my takings?

We know for many UK independent buinesses cashflow is a daily struggle. We can offer various options, with settlement times ranging from just a few hours, to the full three days it takes providers to actually receive your customers money. Whatever your working requirements are, we'll find the ideal solution to match those needs.

Do all uno card machines accept contactless payments?

Yes. Every payment terminal we recommend accepts contactless payments, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and standard contactless cards. Contactless is now the default way most customers pay in the UK.

Will I be able to take 'over-the-phone' payments?

For most merchant-types this will be offered as a default payment option, available on-screen along with contactless and Chip'n'Pin. There are a small number of exceptional businesess operational-types where this is not the case - but for most, 'over-the-phone' payments will be offered as standard.

How can we process refunds?

Any terminal uno suggests would allow you to easily identify the original transaction. If still within the same day as the sale, then the transaction could then be 'voided'(aka 'reversed'). Voids/Reverses are typically instantaneous. However, if that trading day's 'banking window' had closed (typically at Midnight) then it would technically be classed as a 'refund' - which would be subject to the bank's standard 3-5 processing timeframe to complete.

Will we need to do complicated PCI compliance like we do with our current provider?

The great news for you is none of the providers uno works with have complicated anything! For those that require PCI of any sort atall, it really is a simple, painless process that just takes a few minutes per year!

Am I locked into a contract?

Not with every provider. Several of the solutions we offer have no long-term contract - you can switch or cancel without penalty. We'll always be upfront about contract terms before suggesting you commit to anything.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most businesses are up and running within a few days. We handle the supply, installation, and configuration so you can focus on serving your customers. We walk you through everything on-site - so you're confident from day one.

Why go through uno instead of going direct to a provider?

Going direct means you only see a single provider's products, at a single provider's prices. Because uno works across multiple providers, we can genuinely compare options and recommend the solution that suits your business - not just the only one we happen to sell! You also get a dedicated point of contact for ongoing support.

Ready to find the right card machine?

We make the effort to your business, understand how you take payments, and recommend the solution that genuinely fits - not the one with the biggest commission.
