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 PAX A800 sits at the counter and handles the queue - fast contactless for walk-ins, Chip & Pin for larger orders, and over-the-phone payments for call-ahead orders. Rental-free for your first terminal.

Delivery payments

The 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 within 3 seconds 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.

What you get from uno

  • Counter and portable terminals on one account
  • Competitive rates compared across providers
  • 4G connectivity for delivery payments
  • Robust hardware for hot, busy kitchen environments
  • On-site setup and ongoing support

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 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.

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 models have 'all-day battery life' to last 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?

The right card machine depends on how the business trades. A fine-dining restaurant in Covent Garden, a market trader at Glasgow's Barras and a pub beside Cardiff Arms Park take payments in completely different ways, and no single machine suits all three. uno starts by understanding how a business actually operates, and only then recommends - from a range of providers rather than from one.

Do all the card machines uno recommends take contactless?

Yes, every one of them. Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless cards are accepted as standard on every machine uno recommends; contactless is how most UK customers now pay, and every machine features it as standard.

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

For most merchants, yes - available on-screen along with contactless and Chip & Pin. The small minority of high-risk business-types that are not offered over-the-phone payments by default are the exception - for the vast majority, 'over-the-phone' payments will be offered as standard.

How can we process refunds?

From the card machine, in a few taps. Refund a sale on the same day and it is cancelled outright, with the money never leaving the customer's account; refund it after the provider's daily cut-off and the customer's bank typically takes 3-5 days to return it. Every machine uno recommends handles both, and the difference is only in how quickly the customer sees the money.

Is PCI compliance as much of a chore as it is with my current provider?

With several of the providers uno works with the merchant does nothing at all, because the provider handles PCI on their behalf; with the others it is a few minutes once a year. Nobody uno works with makes it complicated, and uno tells a merchant which they are getting before anything is signed.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most businesses are up and running within a few days. uno handles the installation and configuration, then walks the merchant and their staff through everything.

We make the effort to understand how you operate, and only then recommend the solution that's right for your business - not the provider's.
