Food and beverage
Service moves faster than a payment terminal usually does.
Restaurants, bars, cafés and food halls all run on the same two things: turning tables and getting paid without breaking the rhythm of service. Surfboard gives the software your merchants already use one integration that covers the counter, the table, the kiosk and the pre-order.
- 4 Channels on one integration
- 1 Order object, whatever the format
- 0 Extra vendors for tips or receipts
The parts of service that usually need a second vendor.
Splitting a bill, taking a deposit online and settling the rest in person, prompting for a tip, putting the merchant's own brand on the terminal. All of it is a field on the order you were already sending.
- 01
Omni-channel payments
Offer your merchants the ability to give their customers flexible payment options. With our omni-payments feature, merchants can allow customers to pre-pay a portion online (e.g., for reservations or deposits) and settle the remaining balance in-person. This flexibility helps merchants provide a seamless, customer-friendly experience.
- 02
Split bill
Help your merchants easily handle group payments with our split bill feature. Customers can divide the bill across multiple payment methods, making it simple for merchants to accommodate large parties and improve service efficiency.
- 03
Integrated Tipping Solutions
Offer your merchants the ability to easily manage tips with customizable tipping prompts, integrated directly into their payment process. Easily control the tips through our API's or the Merchant portal, for specific terminals, stores or merchants.
- 04
White-Label Branding
Enable your merchants, or yourself, to maintain consistent branding across their payment experience. Our fully white-label payment solutions ensure that terminals, digital receipts, and even the Merchant Portal reflect yours or their brand identity, enhancing customer loyalty and brand recognition.
Kajsas Fisk, Hötorgshallen.
A fish restaurant in a Stockholm market hall, doing lunch volume in a space with no room for a queue. Here is what the change looked like from behind the counter.
Hardware that fits the room it has to work in.
A counter, a phone in an apron pocket, a 22-inch self-checkout by the door. Same payment application on all of them, so the integration does not change when the format does.
- 05
CheckoutX SoftPOS for Table Service
Equip your merchants with CheckoutX, our SoftPOS solution that turns any smartphone or tablet into a payment terminal. Ideal for table service, this solution allows staff to process payments anywhere, speeding up service and improving customer satisfaction. You can integrate CheckoutX to your app.
- 06
Full Connectivity: Wi-Fi & SIM
Ensure your merchants are always connected, even in high-traffic or remote locations. With dual connectivity options (Wi-Fi and SIM), Surfboard's terminals guarantee that merchants stay connected and can process payments without interruption, ensuring smooth operations no matter where they serve their customers.
- 07
Run Your POS App on Our Terminals
Easily publish and rund your apps in our Android-based terminals, such as SurfTouch and SurfPrint. Whether it's a POS or F&B management software, you can run and manage your apps seamlessly on our hardware, providing a streamlined operational experience.

Perfect for fast-casual dining or takeaway scenarios, this self-service option allows customers to complete transactions quickly and independently, enhancing overall service efficiency.
Everything else an F&B partner ends up needing.
None of this is an upsell or a separate contract. It is what comes with the platform once the first payment has gone through.
