At WaiterOne, we’re constantly looking for innovative ways to empower independent hospitality businesses. Today, I’m excited to announce a game-changing initiative that will make our powerful POS platform more accessible than ever before in 34 countries across Europe, Latin America, and Australia.
WaiterOne Now Free with SumUp Integration
We believe that every hospitality business deserves access to enterprise-level technology, regardless of size or location. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that WaiterOne is now available completely free when integrated with SumUp payment processing in selected markets where we’re expanding our presence.
This initiative allows hospitality businesses in these regions to access our complete platform—including inventory management, staff scheduling, reporting, and our recently enhanced Kitchen Display System—without any monthly subscription fees when they process at least €5,000 per month through SumUp.
How It Works
Getting started with free WaiterOne access is simple:
- Order a SumUp terminal directly from www.sumup.com
- Activate the terminal inside the WaiterOne app with a few taps
- Process at least €6,000 per month using your SumUp terminal
- Automatically receive one free month of WaiterOne for every month you meet the minimum
There’s no complicated rebate process or hidden fees—the system automatically tracks your payment volume and applies the free license when you reach the threshold.
Why We’re Making This Move
This strategic partnership with SumUp reflects our commitment to three core principles:
1. Success-Based Business Models
We’ve always believed that our success should be tied directly to our clients’ success. By offering WaiterOne free with SumUp payments, we’re taking this philosophy to its logical conclusion—we only benefit when our clients are processing significant transaction volumes.
This aligns perfectly with our broader vision of success-based pricing that scales with our clients’ businesses rather than imposing fixed costs regardless of business performance.
2. Market Expansion Through Strategic Partnerships
The hospitality industry is increasingly moving toward integrated solutions that eliminate the complexity of managing multiple disconnected systems. By partnering with SumUp, we’re creating a seamless experience that combines powerful POS capabilities with reliable payment processing.
This partnership model represents the future of hospitality technology—consolidated platforms that provide end-to-end solutions rather than fragmented point products.
3. Removing Barriers to Digital Transformation
In many of the markets where we’re launching this initiative, independent hospitality businesses face significant barriers to adopting modern technology. By eliminating the upfront subscription cost, we’re making it possible for these businesses to access the same powerful tools used by larger chains.
This democratization of technology is central to our mission of empowering independent businesses to compete effectively in an increasingly challenging market.

The Power of Integrated Financial Platforms
This partnership with SumUp builds on the trends we discussed in our recent post about integrated financial platforms. By combining POS functionality with payment processing, we’re creating a seamless financial operating system that provides a single source of truth for all business operations.
The benefits of this integration include:
- Simplified reconciliation: Payments automatically match with orders
- Reduced administrative overhead: No need to manually compare POS reports with payment processor statements
- Enhanced reporting: Comprehensive financial insights in one place
- Streamlined operations: Staff only need to learn one system
For businesses in these 23 countries, this integration now comes with the added benefit of eliminating monthly subscription fees entirely when meeting the minimum processing volume.
What This Means for Existing Clients
For our existing clients in other markets, we remain committed to our current pricing model, which has proven successful in creating sustainable partnerships. This new initiative is specifically designed for markets where we’re looking to build our presence.
However, the SumUp integration is available to all clients who wish to take advantage of the streamlined payment processing capabilities, regardless of location.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Hospitality Technology
This partnership with SumUp represents just one aspect of our broader vision for the future of hospitality technology. We continue to believe that the most successful platforms will be those that:
- Align costs with client success
- Integrate all aspects of operations
- Provide enterprise capabilities through intuitive interfaces
- Scale seamlessly from single locations to complex multi-site operations
As the industry continues to evolve, we remain committed to leading this transformation and ensuring that independent hospitality businesses have access to the tools they need to thrive.
