    The Reality of Pricing

    What you actually pay to get a modern takeaway system up and running.

    ServeMate

    £47/mo
    • £0 upfront costs. No licence fees, no forced hardware bundles.
    • Self-serve setup. Up and running without needing a reseller or an engineer.
    • Flat monthly fee. Includes POS, back office, online ordering, KDS, website, loyalty, and scheduling.
    • Built-in AI tools. Access to the most advanced AI phone ordering and management tools in the UK.

    ICRTouch

    £89+/mo

    Plus £400+ upfront costs & reseller fees

    • £400 upfront licence: Required before you can even take your first order.
    • £40/mo back office: Without this, you cannot make menu changes or access settings.
    • £25/mo online ordering: Plus £15/mo for KDS and £9/mo for reporting.
    • Complex legacy tech: Requires a reseller to set up and provide training, adding even more upfront fees.

    Who ICRTouch is for

    ICRTouch suits larger operations or multi-site venues with dedicated IT support, complex legacy requirements, and the budget for significant upfront investment. If you want an established legacy system and prefer relying on a local reseller for setup and support (and don't mind paying for it), it's a solid, traditional choice.

    Who ServeMate is for

    ServeMate suits independent takeaway owners who want a modern, affordable, AI-powered platform they can set up themselves. If you want everything — from POS and online ordering to staff rotas and AI phone answering — without paying £400 just for a licence or relying on an engineer to change a menu price, ServeMate is built for you.
