Choosing a card machine
Which card machine is best for a pub?
A fixed machine such as DOJO Wired suits a permanent bar till. A portable machine such as DOJO Go Max lets staff take payment at a table or outside, where there is a usable connection. A pub with both counter and table service may need a combination.
If you want to connect the card machine to your existing till, check which DOJO devices your EPOS supplier supports. That connection determines how the amount reaches the terminal and how the payment returns to the till.

Go Max connects over Wi-Fi or 4G, so payment can happen away from the bar. Choose a location below.
DOJO Go Max · portable card payments
At the bar
Use Go Max at the counter, or choose a fixed machine such as Wired for a permanent bar till. With a supported EPOS connection, the till can send the amount to the machine.

Your existing till
Will DOJO work with
my pub’s EPOS?
DOJO supports connections to a range of EPOS systems. With a supported integration, the till sends the amount to the card machine, so staff don’t have to enter it twice.
Your EPOS supplier needs to confirm the connection for your software and version. Tabs, stock, order entry and accounting remain separate features of the wider till system; a payment connection alone does not establish how they work.

Card payment fees
How much will my pub pay?
The cost includes more than the rate on each card payment. Your quote should account for the machines you need, recurring charges and any EPOS costs, as well as transaction fees.
A recent merchant statement lets you compare a new quote using your pub’s actual transactions, rather than someone else’s turnover or card mix.
Card processing fees explained ↗Compare the complete cost
- Processing rates
- Compare rates for the card types your guests use, authorisation fees and any minimum monthly charge.
- Machines and software
- Include every terminal, recurring platform charges and any fee for connecting the EPOS.
- Refunds and disputes

- Contract terms
- Read the term, notice period, renewal and exit charges, including any separate terminal agreement.
Switching to DOJO
Can I switch before
my contract ends?
You can review a new quote while your existing agreement is active. Before arranging the change, check its notice period, cancellation charges and any separate terminal rental.
Agree the installation date, EPOS connection and responsibilities with the new providers before ending the old service. Any offer to contribute towards exit fees needs to be confirmed for your pub in writing.
How we help with the switch ↗What helps us prepare your quote?
- A recent card-processing statement
- Your EPOS supplier and software version
- The number of tills and terminals you use
- Your contract end date and notice period

Trades & servicesCan customers split the bill or leave a tip?
DOJO lists bill-splitting and tipping among Go Max’s features. Confirm the workflow with your EPOS supplier, including how tips and part-payments appear in the till and payment reports.
Can staff take orders and payments on the same device?
DOJO Pocket combines orders and payments through selected EPOS integrations. Your supplier needs to confirm support for your software and configuration. It is a different option from simply using a portable terminal to collect payment.
How many card machines does a pub need?
The number depends on your bars, tills and table service. Count the places taking payments at the same time on a busy shift. A pub may combine fixed machines at its tills with portable machines for the floor or garden. Include every device in the cost comparison.
Can I take card payments in the beer garden?
A portable terminal can be used outside where it has a usable connection. Go Max supports Wi-Fi and 4G, but coverage needs checking at the actual tables and service points. Plan charging and safe storage as well.
What happens if the pub’s Wi-Fi goes down?
Go Max supports both Wi-Fi and 4G, so an available mobile network can provide an alternative connection. DOJO Wired uses Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Neither description establishes that a payment will work without a network; agree an outage plan for the devices you choose.
Will connecting DOJO to my EPOS also manage tabs and stock?
A payment connection sends the transaction amount between your till and card machine. Tabs, stock control and ordering depend on the EPOS software and the features enabled. Confirm those functions separately rather than assuming they are included with any card machine.
How do I compare a new quote with my current provider?
Use a recent merchant statement and compare the total using the same transaction volume and card mix. Include device and platform fees, authorisation charges, EPOS costs, refunds and contract terms. A lower headline rate does not establish a lower total bill.
Can I switch provider before my existing contract ends?
Review your current notice period, cancellation charges and terminal rental before booking a switch. Agree the new installation and EPOS connection first. Any contribution towards exit fees needs confirming in the written offer for your pub.
