What is SumUp POS?

SumUp pairs cheap, reliable card readers with an increasingly capable point-of-sale suite aimed at small hospitality businesses. It suits counter-service cafés, market traders and small pubs that want flat-rate processing and minimal monthly commitment rather than a heavyweight EPOS contract.
