Questions?
Fair enough.
Straight answers about YOH.
For owners
What happens when the internet goes down?
Each iPad keeps selling and catches up when the internet's back. Until then each iPad sees only its own orders. Cards carry on through a card machine with its own SIM. Kitchen screens need the internet for new tickets until the iPad app is out, so keep printed kitchen tickets as a backup.
And when the power goes?
The iPads run on their batteries. Put the router and the printers on a small UPS so printing keeps going.
What do I need?
An iPad on iOS 15 or later for each till, your card machine and Wi-Fi. For printed receipts and kitchen tickets, an Epson printer with ePOS built in, like the TM-m30III. Send us a photo of your printer's label and we'll check it. Waiters can use their phones. We don't sell hardware.
Can I use the hardware I have?
Often, yes. Your iPads, card machine and an Epson printer with ePOS built in all carry over, and the printer opens a cash drawer plugged into it. An Android tablet or a PC can be a kitchen screen in Chrome. If your iPads are rented or managed by your old provider, check you can change their settings.
Is YOH POS on the App Store?
Not yet. The till runs in Safari at pos.getyoh.com. Add it to your Home Screen and always open it from there. The iPad app is coming.
Does it run on Android?
Handhelds and kitchen screens do, in Chrome. The main till runs on an iPad.
Does it work with my card machine?
Yes, any card machine. Take the card on the machine, then record it on the till, even with no internet. For now the amount goes in twice. The till sending it straight to a Yoco machine is coming, then more card providers.
Is there a lock-in?
No. Month to month, with the terms in writing when you sign up.
What does it cost?
A monthly fee per store, in rand, and never a cut of your sales. We're finalising prices now. Ask us and you'll get a straight answer.
Can I bring my menu and stock across?
Yes. YOH knows Lightspeed and MarketMan files. From any other system, bring a CSV or Excel export and match the columns. You check it all before it lands, and any import can be undone.
Does it work with Uber Eats and Mr D?
Not automatically yet. Ring their orders up as their own order type, with their own prices if you like, and Profit by channel shows what each app really earns you.
Does YOH run payroll?
No. YOH Team tracks rosters and hours and exports them for SimplePay or Sage Payroll.
Can I run more than one store?
Yes. One back office for company stores and franchises. Franchisees and managers see only their own stores. For now every store shares one menu, with prices by order type. Menus and prices per store aren't in YOH yet.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Open pos.getyoh.com or office.getyoh.com and tap Try the demo. It runs a demo pizza shop with made-up trading on that device only.
Who makes YOH?
People who run restaurants in Cape Town.
Who do I contact when something breaks?
Email hello@getyoh.com with the restaurant, the store and what's on the screen. A photo helps. A person reads every email.
YOH POS supportYour data
Where is my data kept?
With Supabase, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, encrypted in transit. Each restaurant's data is kept apart. Each iPad also keeps its store's sales, guest details and scrambled PINs, so it can sell with no internet.
Can other restaurants see my numbers?
No. Each restaurant's data is kept apart, and staff see only what their role allows.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes, any time, from the back office. One ZIP of spreadsheets: every sale, payment, cash-up, guest, gift card, hour worked and stock count, with a README that explains each file.
Do you store card numbers?
No. They never reach YOH. We keep the last four digits and the payment reference.
Delivery
When can I order?
There's no date yet. Leave your email and you'll hear the day ordering opens.
Get told when it opensWhat will it cost restaurants?

Where will it deliver?
Cape Town first.

Every cent.
Guests
How do I delete my YOH card?
Open your card and tap Delete my card and details, or email us.
Does my YOH card work everywhere?
At every restaurant on YOH that runs YOH Rewards. Each one keeps its own points, and never sees where else you're a member.
Still stuck?
