The Mosey Till: Take the Order, Take the Money, Close the Day

Most tills are a box you buy, a contract you sign, and a screen that does one thing well. The Mosey till is a browser tab.

That is not a compromise. It means you can open one on the laptop you already own, run a second one on an iPad when a queue builds, and close the day from your office without going back out to the counter.

Who it is for

Cafés, takeaways, delis, food trucks, bars and restaurants that want a real till without buying a real till. It is particularly useful if you are running a second counter for an event, a market stall, or a pop-up where hauling hardware around is the actual problem.

Taking an order

The till is built around the menu you already have on Mosey, so there is nothing to set up twice.

• Lines and modifiers. Add an item, choose its options, change the quantity. Extra shot, oat milk, no onions.
• VAT per item. Food and drink do not sit at one rate, and the till carries the right one per line rather than applying an average and hoping.
• Custom amounts. For the thing that is not on the menu.
• Open orders. Start one, leave it, come back to it. A counter with three people mid-order is normal.

Tables, rounds and splitting the bill

Table service is a different job from a counter, and the till treats it as one.

Open a table, add rounds to it through the evening, and settle at the end. When the bill comes, it splits two ways and you can use both on the same table:

• By item — this person had the steak and two glasses of red
• By an equal share — divide what is left between however many are paying

The second one always divides the remaining balance, so paying for your own items first and then splitting the rest works exactly as people actually do it.

The kitchen sees tickets as rounds are sent, on the Kitchen Display, rather than waiting for the bill.

Taking the money

Every way a customer might pay, on one screen:

• Cash, with change calculated
• Card reader — record it on the till, settle on the terminal you already have
• Mosey Pay — the customer confirms on their phone, at 1.5%
• Vouchers, loyalty rewards, membership perks and Deal Hours discounts, applied the same way they apply anywhere else

Tips are 0% and go to you in full. Mosey takes nothing from a tip, ever.

Closing the day

A shift opens with a float and closes with a cash count.

• X report — read the state of the shift without closing anything
• Z report — close the day
• Expected cash — the float, plus cash taken including tips, minus cash refunded. Change is not subtracted, because a tender's amount is what it applied to the bill.
• Adjustments — a correction is recorded, and the owner is told

Order history holds the day, and refunds come off it. Refunding an entire order also undoes what that order gave: a loyalty visit, a voucher it consumed. A partial refund leaves those alone, because the customer still ate most of the meal.

When the internet goes

Broadband drops. It drops at seven on a Friday.

Offline selling keeps the till taking cash and card-reader sales when the connection is gone, stores them on the device, and sends them up when you are back. Each sale carries an identifier the till generates, so a sale that was already received is recognised and not counted twice — which is the difference between a queue that keeps moving and a day you spend reconciling.

It is off by default, and switching it on asks you to accept what it means in writing. That is deliberate. Selling without a live connection has real trade-offs: stock counts and customer balances cannot be checked while you are offline, and a card-reader sale still has to be settled on the terminal. Anything that cannot be sent up afterwards lands in a Needs attention list rather than disappearing quietly.

It should be your decision, made on purpose, not a default somebody discovers during an outage.

What it costs

• Platform fee — 1% of what you sell through the till
• Mosey Pay — 1.5% on an in-store card payment
• Cash — nothing
• Tips — 0%, paid to you in full

No monthly fee for the till, no per-terminal charge, no hardware to buy.

A worked example

A café taking €3,000 a week through the till, with roughly two thirds on card through Mosey Pay and a third in cash.

The platform fee is 1% of €3,000, so €30. The card half is 1.5% of €2,000, so €30. Cash costs nothing. Total for the week: €60, against €3,000 of sales.

The same café would pay a monthly subscription to most till providers whether it sold anything that month or not.

What it connects to

The till is not a separate product bolted on — it reads the same menu, the same customers and the same money as everything else:

• Mosey Tap — who is standing at the counter, and what you owe them
• Take payments in store with Mosey Pay — the card half of the till
• Deal Hours — a discount that applies on the till as well as online
• Kitchen display — where the tickets land
• What Mosey costs — every rate on one page
