Allvio vs Bepoz: Comparing POS, Bookings and Back Office

Bepoz vs Allvio: compare POS features for pubs, clubs and bars, plus the 16 rows for bookings, rostering and back office that sit outside Bepoz.

Bepoz is a Sydney built till for pubs, clubs, bars and multi-venue groups, and this page puts it next to Allvio across the same 43 capabilities an owner needs covered. The shape is unusually clean. Bepoz includes 25 of the 43 outright, does part of the job on 2, and the remaining 16 are not what the product sets out to do. There is nothing behind a paid tier and nothing that needs a second signup, which is worth noticing on its own. Saying it once, plainly: a not what it does row is not a mark against them, it is a statement of scope.

What Bepoz does, it does the whole way

All nine selling and payment rows of a proper bar POS system are included: the touchscreen till for counter and table service, card, cash, split and part payments, table plan and open tabs, kitchen screens and dockets, stock counts with low stock alerts, discounts and happy hour and price levels, gift cards, refunds and voids, and cash up at end of day. All seven online ordering rows are included as well, with their own ordering page carrying split payment so a group can each pay for what they ordered, item modifiers and allergen flags maintained in the back office, promo codes, and orders arriving in the kitchen without anyone retyping them.

Credit where it is properly due, though. Bepoz sends both email and SMS out of the system itself, segments off almost anything you can hold about a member, triggers messages on visits and spend including a birthday campaign and a win back to members who have not been in for six months, and then tracks what those activities returned against sales. That is four marketing rows included, and it is more than most tills in this comparison manage at any price. Their loyalty and membership depth for licensed venues is the reason people buy them, a positioning confirmed by their own payments partners, and the table reflects that: segments, loyalty and rewards, visit and spend history, and reporting on your phone are all yeses.

The handful of rows that change your week

The booking diary and everything around it, the job most owners actually mean when they say they need a restaurant booking system. All eight booking rows are outside what Bepoz does. The diary, the booking page on your own site, deposits, guest confirmations and reminders, waitlist and walk ins, set menus, and availability rules. If your venue takes reservations for the bistro or runs functions, that is a second system to choose, buy and learn, and the two of them will not agree about your trading hours on a long weekend without somebody typing it twice.

Notes, preferences and allergies. Bepoz does part of this, at no extra cost, but only through generic custom fields. Their documented account and member record covers account number, card, name, group and status, so a preference or an allergy is something you improvise a field for. In a club with thousands of members that improvisation tends not to survive staff turnover.

Rostering, clock in and out, timesheets and leave, the job a proper payroll and rostering software does. Five rows Bepoz does not attempt. In a pub or club that runs three departments and a lot of casuals, this is usually the biggest single piece of the week that sits outside the till, and it is bought and paid for somewhere else.

One customer record. Their account and member record does part of the job. In Allvio the same record is read by the till, the diary and the ordering page, which matters mainly because of what the diary can then tell the person on the floor.

What the counts mean and what they do not

Each of the 43 rows is one capability, judged only on what the vendor publishes. Sixteen rows of not what it does makes Bepoz a narrower product than an all in one, not a weaker one, and a narrower product done thoroughly is often the right call. The honest question is who buys, sets up and pays for the sixteen. Note also that Bepoz has no rows at all in the two categories owners find most annoying: nothing on a higher tier, and nothing that means a second product to choose and set up. What they sell, you get.

For the other column, Allvio Complete is $399 per month ex GST for one location and $299 per month for each extra location, every app switched on, no per user charge, and invoicing, pay runs and BAS figures live in the same subscription. Build your own starts at $20 per month per app. The trial runs 30 days with no card. Hardware is sold outright at $1,499 ex GST for the single station, $1,869 retail and $2,499 restaurant.

The venue that should buy Bepoz anyway

A licensed club or a multi-venue pub group whose real problem is membership tiers, member pricing, loyalty and gaming floor trade should look hard at Bepoz, a POS independent software reviews confirm carries deep loyalty, table management and online ordering tools out of the box. Its membership and loyalty depth is the deepest here for that kind of venue, its marketing genuinely runs from inside the system, and there are no add-on surprises. If your week is bookings, functions and rosters more than it is memberships, count the sixteen rows first.

Every cell above comes from each vendor's own published material, checked in August 2026. Products change constantly: always confirm current capability directly with each vendor before deciding.

FAQs

Does Bepoz include a booking diary for reservations and functions?
No. The diary, the booking page on your website, deposits, guest confirmations, the waitlist and the trading hours all sit outside what Bepoz does. You would need a separate system for that side of the venue.

Can Bepoz handle staff rostering, clock in and payroll?
No. Rostering, clock in and out, timesheets, leave and payroll are not part of what Bepoz sets out to do. In a venue with multiple departments and a lot of casuals, this is usually the biggest piece of the week left outside the till.

How does Bepoz track member preferences and allergies?
Only through generic custom fields on the account and member record. There is no dedicated field for preferences or allergies, so staff have to improvise one, and that tends not to survive staff turnover in a large club.

Is Bepoz a good fit for a licensed club or multi-venue pub group?
Yes. If membership tiers, member pricing, loyalty and gaming floor trade are the main job, Bepoz has the deepest membership and marketing tools in this comparison, with no add-on tiers or second signups required.
