Best POS System for Vegan Restaurants UK 2026

The UK vegan dining scene has exploded. Brighton leads with the highest density of vegan restaurants per capita, but London, Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh all have thriving plant-based scenes. Running a vegan restaurant comes with specific POS requirements that generic systems simply miss.

Why Vegan Restaurants Need a Specialist POS

Vegan restaurants handle complex allergen interactions, cross-contamination disclosure requirements, and Natasha's Law labelling that standard POS systems weren't designed for. Add plant-based menu categorisation, ingredient-level stock tracking, and the growing demand for transparent sourcing information — and you need a system built for this.

Key Features for Vegan Restaurant POS

1. Allergen Labelling — Natasha's Law & FIR 2014

UK allergen law has two regimes. Natasha's Law (October 2021) covers food pre-packaged for direct sale (PPDS) — such as pre-made sandwiches or baked goods packaged on-site. Made-to-order dishes (cooked fresh when a customer orders) are governed by the UK Food Information Regulations 2014 (FIR 2014), which require allergen information to be available for every dish either on the menu or on request. Bill Feeds handles both: attach all 14 declared allergens per item for FIR 2014 disclosure, and display them clearly on the customer-facing QR menu before any order is placed.

2. Plant-Based Menu Flags

Bill Feeds supports custom menu tags: Vegan, Vegetarian, Raw, Gluten-Free, Organic. These display on the customer-facing QR menu and the kitchen display — reducing order errors and supporting servers who may not know every ingredient.

3. Ingredient-Level Stock Management

Vegan kitchens often use a higher volume of fresh produce with shorter shelf lives. Bill Feeds tracks stock at item level, sends low-stock alerts, and integrates with purchase orders — so you're not 86'ing the jackfruit burger mid-service.

4. QR Table Ordering

Many vegan restaurants attract health-conscious diners who want full transparency before ordering. Bill Feeds' QR menu shows full ingredient lists, allergen flags, and nutritional notes directly on their phone — reducing server queries and improving confidence.

5. Making Tax Digital (MTD) VAT

All UK food businesses above the £90,000 VAT threshold must submit via MTD-compatible software. Bill Feeds handles VAT billing, daily sales reports, and generates ledger data formatted for HMRC compliance.
