What It Is

Cash Control Services is an EPOS solutions provider for offline business environments in the UK. Its website focuses on showcasing an ICRTouch-based product ecosystem covering industries such as bars, restaurants, nightclubs, takeaways, members’ clubs, hotels, retail, venues, and events. It is not a standalone cloud SaaS tool, but rather a combined software-and-hardware solution for till operations, ordering, and business management.

Core Capabilities

Its core product, TouchPoint, provides features such as POS, promotions, membership, table plans, and reporting. TouchPoint lite is designed for lightweight and mobile use cases, running on handheld devices, tablets, or phones, with support for payment terminals, receipt printing, and cash drawers. For hospitality scenarios, multi-channel ordering and real-time order output can be achieved through PocketTouch handheld ordering, ByTable self-service ordering, SelfService kiosks, TouchTakeaway web-based takeaway stores, and TouchKitchen kitchen display screens. For retail and membership scenarios, the emphasis is on inventory management, customer loyalty, points, prepaid accounts, renewal tracking, SMS/email engagement, and supplier ordering.

Pricing and Deployment

The website does not disclose plans, pricing, subscription periods, or implementation fees, nor does it state whether a free version or trial is available. In terms of deployment, TouchOffice Web is described as a back-office system accessible anytime, anywhere, and some ordering products are web- and app-based. However, the overall boundaries between cloud, self-hosted, and on-premise deployment are not clearly defined.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are broad industry coverage and a complete EPOS ecosystem, with dedicated modules for front-of-house POS, customer self-service ordering, kitchen operations, inventory, membership, and reporting. The interface also emphasizes ease of use, making it suitable for reducing staff training costs. The downside is the lack of key enterprise software information: there is no public information on security compliance, permission management, APIs, integration lists, or pricing, which increases the evaluation cost for chains or customers requiring deep system integration.

Who It’s For

It is better suited to UK-based restaurants, bars, members’ clubs, hotel F&B operations, retail stores, event stalls, and similar businesses looking to adopt a mature EPOS and ordering management system. If a business prioritizes open APIs, international compliance, or pure cloud SaaS management, it should make further inquiries with the vendor.

Access from China

Access from mainland China is unknown. Judging from its industry positioning and descriptions of payments, hardware, and hotel system integrations, the product is clearly more focused on the local UK market.
