Full-featured without a subscription
The core restaurant POS offer is not a limited trial or a paid-tier teaser.
A sustainable, transparent model
Yarra Systems was established in 2015 with a simple belief: restaurants should not have to pay a recurring software subscription or be forced into an expensive payment-processing agreement.
The Yarra POS app, standard cloud hosting, initial store database, software updates, and standard support have no subscription fee—and we will not introduce one. Yarra Systems does not sell or monetize merchant data.
Optional online ordering — $1 per accepted, non-cancelled order before applicable tax
Online ordering is optional and has no monthly subscription. The merchant may absorb the fee and receive a monthly invoice, or configure it to appear under Tax & Fee for the customer before order submission. The fee applies only to the Yarra Systems online ordering website; Yarra Systems does not use a third-party online-order provider for this service.
Some of our restaurant customers
Here are some of the restaurants using Yarra POS today.
Yarra POS supports restaurant operations at all five Tamashi Ramen & Sushi locations and at the U-Yee Sushi & Hibachi location in Iselin, New Jersey. From individual restaurants to multi-location operations, Yarra POS is built for real service environments.
Choose your hosting
Cloud hosting is recommended for most restaurants. Local hosting is available for merchants with specific onsite-server requirements.
$0
Available worldwide. Yarra Systems manages standard cloud hosting at no charge, creates your initial store database, and provides the connection information needed to get started.
Cloud hosting requires internet access. Maintain a backup connection that can be used whenever the primary internet service is unavailable.
$99 before applicable tax, per server, per location
Requires approved server hardware, local DNS, onsite installation, and a separate custom quote for onsite service and approved travel expenses. Server hardware and postage or shipping are not included. Internet-dependent services still require internet access.
Paid upfront. Fully refundable if the merchant cancels before Yarra Systems begins installation work. A replacement server or later reinstallation incurs another $99 charge before applicable tax.
The free Yarra POS offer does not include merchant hardware or selected third-party products and services.
Freedom without feature penalties
Some POS systems bundle their software with required payment processing, recurring subscription charges, and additional online-ordering fees. Yarra Systems takes a different approach.
Choose an available integrated payment option or continue using your preferred processor through a non-integrated payment workflow. Your processor choice will not place unrelated Yarra POS functionality behind a paid tier.
Integrated payment options can communicate transaction amounts and results directly with Yarra POS. A merchant-selected non-integrated processor is handled separately and does not provide that automated communication—but it does not restrict the restaurant’s unrelated POS features. Processor rates, equipment charges, and contract terms are determined by the selected processor.
Store connection
Yarra Systems creates the initial store database and provides the server URL and client code needed to connect Yarra POS. The store owner or manager then creates and maintains the menu.
The initial store database is prepared within three business days after Yarra Systems receives all required store information. Business days exclude weekends, U.S. federal holidays, and Texas holidays observed by Yarra Systems.
Registered merchants can receive remote assistance by phone, text message, or email for the first device connection and for connecting compatible printers and payment terminals. Private phone and text details are not published.
Optional professional service
Yarra Systems reviews the complete menu and modifier information and must accept the scope in writing before requesting payment. The standard service covers up to 30 top-level main categories and includes one review round affecting no more than 10% of the originally configured products and modifier groups.
After written acceptance, payment is upfront and becomes non-refundable when received. The review percentage is affected products and modifier groups divided by the total originally configured, multiplied by 100. Yarra Systems errors are corrected without charge. Larger or additional work requires a separate quote.
Merchant-owned data
After cloud service termination, a verified merchant may request a full database export for $49 before applicable tax. The fee is paid upfront, is non-refundable, and covers preparation and delivery through a download link.
Verified cloud-database deletion is free, does not require an export purchase, and is completed within three business days. Local-hosted merchants control and have full access to their onsite server, so the export service does not apply.
Explore the existing iPhone and iPad product screens and detailed restaurant workflows on the Features page or in the App Store.
Support commitments
Non-urgent support inquiries receive an initial response within three business days. Business days use Central Time and exclude weekends, U.S. federal holidays, and Texas state holidays observed by Yarra Systems. This is an initial-response commitment, not a resolution guarantee.
If a suspected Yarra POS software bug makes your store unable to operate, email support@yarrapos.com with URGENT OUTAGE — [Store Name] in the subject line. Qualifying reports from registered merchants receive an initial response within one hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The one-hour commitment applies to the initial response, not resolution. Never send passwords, payment-card data, processor credentials, API keys, or other secrets.
Yarra POS believes restaurants should be free to choose the payment provider that works best for their business. We welcome discussions with merchant processors and payment platforms interested in providing an integrated payment option to Yarra POS merchants.
Any integration is subject to technical compatibility, security review, certification requirements, commercial agreement, and mutual approval.

The Yarra POS app, standard POS feature set, cloud hosting, initial store database, software updates, and standard support are provided at no charge. Yarra Systems will not introduce a software or standard cloud-hosting subscription fee. Optional services have clearly disclosed fees. Merchants purchase their own devices, internet and network services, printers, payment hardware, payment processing, and other selected third-party products or services.
Yarra Systems was established in 2015 and earns revenue from optional services that merchants choose, including optional online ordering, menu creation, and local-hosting installation. Yarra Systems does not sell or monetize merchant data and does not require a restaurant to use a particular payment processor.
The fee applies only when the merchant activates the Yarra Systems online ordering website. It is charged before applicable tax for each accepted/completed order that is not cancelled, whether the customer pays online or at the restaurant. The merchant may absorb it and receive a monthly invoice, or configure it to appear under Tax & Fee for the customer before submission.
No. Yarra Systems does not sell or monetize merchant, restaurant, staff, or customer data. The restaurant’s data belongs to the merchant.
Yarra Systems was established in 2015 and has been building restaurant-ordering and POS technology since then.
No. Yarra Systems does not require a particular payment processor. Merchants may choose an available integrated option or use their preferred processor through a non-integrated payment workflow.
No unrelated Yarra POS functionality is removed because of processor choice. A non-integrated processor does not provide the automated communication available through an implemented integrated connection, but the restaurant can continue using its configured ordering, menu, customer, printing, reporting, and other POS workflows.
No. Processing rates, equipment charges, and contract terms are determined by the processor selected by the merchant. Yarra POS gives merchants the freedom to compare those costs and choose the provider that best fits their business.
A cloud-hosted store connects to its Yarra POS server through the internet. A backup connection allows the store to reconnect whenever its primary internet service is unavailable.
Yes, within the 48 contiguous U.S. states. Local hosting requires approved server hardware, a compatible local network and local DNS, and onsite installation. Server software installation and initial database configuration cost $99 before applicable tax per server, per location, paid upfront and fully refundable if the merchant cancels before work begins. Shipping, hardware, onsite service, and approved travel expenses are separate. A replacement server or later reinstallation incurs another $99 charge before applicable tax.
Yarra Systems may purchase compatible hardware after the quoted funds are received and cleared. Hardware funds become non-refundable once the server order is placed; the hardware is invoiced and warranty-registered in the merchant’s name, and the merchant handles manufacturer warranty claims, returns, and future service. Alternatively, the merchant may purchase hardware after receiving written approval from Yarra Systems. Onsite service and approved travel are quoted separately, paid upfront, and scheduled by agreement.
No. The app can connect to a compatible local server over the store network when local DNS is available, but payment processing, online ordering, address services, support, updates, and other internet-dependent services still require internet access.
The store owner or manager may create and maintain the menu at no charge. Yarra Systems can create a menu with up to 30 top-level main categories for $90 before applicable tax per location. Yarra Systems accepts the scope in writing before requesting upfront, non-refundable payment. One review round covering no more than 10% of the originally configured products and modifier groups is included; calculate the percentage as affected products and modifier groups divided by the total originally configured, multiplied by 100. Larger or additional work requires a separate quote.
Non-urgent inquiries receive an initial response within three business days. Registered merchants reporting a qualifying urgent operational outage receive an initial response within one hour through the 24/7 urgent email process. These are initial-response commitments, not resolution guarantees.
To date, Yarra Systems has not experienced a confirmed Yarra POS software bug that stopped the app from functioning. Most reported store interruptions have been caused by a loss of internet service or electrical power. This describes past operational experience and is not a guarantee that a future software defect cannot occur.
The merchant owns and controls its restaurant data, subject to the published Privacy Policy and service terms. After cloud service termination, a verified merchant may request a full database export for $49 before applicable tax, paid upfront and non-refundable, delivered through a download link. Verified cloud-database deletion is free and completed within three business days. Local-hosted merchants control their onsite servers, so the export service does not apply.
