Bad things happen when business doesn’t run smooth. Good things happen when you take control with Yoco Counter.

Small business is complicated. Too many moving parts, too many systems, and too many fires to put out. When those parts don’t fit together, wasting time and money is just the beginning.
After a decade of building for and with South African entrepreneurs, we know that bad things happen when your business doesn’t run smoothly.

Luckily, really good things happen when you take control of all those moving parts with Yoco Counter, the super simple point of sale (POS) and payments system that helps your business run smarter, faster, and smoother.

From the “little blue card machine” to modern POS
We’ve always been known for helping businesses get paid. Now, we’re helping them run.
Running a small business is messy. There’s too much admin, a tangle of disconnected tools, and manual processes that invite miscommunication. Staff shouting orders across the kitchen, stock counts going missing, late-night reconciliation sessions eating into your weekend. When your systems don’t talk to each other, bad things happen.

Yoco Counter brings it all together: POS software, payments processing, and intelligent reporting under a single Yoco profile.

“Coffee shop owners inherit ancient POS systems that can’t export reports. Food truck operators shout orders to lines of 100 customers. Retail owners stay up past midnight reconciling sales. Counter democratises the control every business owner deserves.” says Carl Wazen, Co-Founder & CRO

With Counter, there’s no more juggling multiple tools and no more guesswork. Just clarity, control, and efficiency, so you can focus on growing your business and let the good things happen.
