Your SumUp reader still works
We integrate directly with SumUp for card payments out of the box. Same reader, same merchant account, same processing rates. We just hand the amount to the reader at the end of the order.
vs SumUp
Keep your SumUp card reader. Upgrade the till on top.
SumUp's card reader is a brilliant little device, and many of our pilot venues already own one. SumUp's own till app is fine for a corner café, but a restaurant with reservations, kitchen tickets and multiple waiters quickly hits its limit. brasio sits on top of your existing SumUp reader — you keep the card processing you know, and gain a real restaurant till.

Why teams switch from SumUp
Plus Stripe for online payments
Want to take a deposit for a big booking, or sell a gift voucher on your website? Stripe is wired in too — alongside SumUp for in-person, not instead of it.
Real restaurant features
Reservations with a 'Next 2 hours' panel, kitchen tickets grouped by course, staff hours and breaks, sub-menus, per-line notes. Things SumUp's till app doesn't try to do.
Considering a switch?
If your venue is outgrowing SumUp's free till app, we're the natural next step. Bring the card reader, leave the rest.
