With a Projected CAGR of 7.88%, Europe Restaurant POS Software Market to Touch USD2.79 Billion Mark by 2030

The Europe Restaurant POS Software Market size was valued at around USD 1.77 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.79 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 7.88% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The growth of the POS software market is largely based on its ability to reduce human mistakes and efforts and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of restaurant operations. This is achieved by making day-to-day tasks simple like taking orders that come from multiple sources like sites, walk-in customers, and delivery agents, preparing meals as per recorded orders, managing deliveries promptly, and processing payments that come from multiple payment modes like cards, UPI, and cash. With the arrival of bulk orders, managing operations at food outlets and eateries without human mistakes requires effective software to manage all these tasks and the demand for POS software for restaurants is rising.

Moreover, the increasing number of orders made through online platforms has further increased the demand for such software. This increment can be observed from the increasing number of orders delivered by online food delivery platforms. For instance, Deliveroo, an online food delivery platform in Europe, claimed that the number of orders has risen in this region with very high growth in the UK and Ireland in 2024. This makes it difficult for restaurants to manage orders from online as well as offline customers and process their payments that are initiated through various methods. As a result, POS systems help restaurants address such issues, hence increasing the demand for robust software used in them.

Furthermore, the market is fueled by the increasing number of restaurants established in Europe, with international quick-food chains as the major contributors. For instance, the number of McDonald’s outlets increased to around 1,500 in France and around 1,400 each in Germany and the UK. Such restaurants are the major user of POS systems as such systems help them deliver the orders to their customers in the least possible time. Hence, their expansion directly correlates with the market’s growth. Therefore, due to the work efficiency offered by POS software, they have been highly adopted by various restaurants in past years, and this trend is expected to continue in the forecast period as well due to the expansion of the food service industry and increasing online orders, further states the research report, “Europe Restaurant POS Software Market Analysis, 2025.”

Segmentation Analysis

Front-End Segment Holds a Major Market Share

Based on the type of POS software, the market is further bifurcated into Front-End, Back-End, Guest Engagement, and others. Here, the front-end segment leads the market with a share of around 62%. This is because the demand for managing orders has increased in past years due to the increasing number of orders from online as well as offline customers that have multiple payment methods, including cash, cards, UPI, etc. All such operations can be managed by front-end software, from taking orders, sending them to the kitchen, and showing the progress.

Additionally, such software is cheaper as compared to other segments as they do not require predictive modeling algorithms, storage devices, and hardware such as card readers, barcode scanners, etc., in their functioning. This makes them affordable and accessible to small or new startups. Therefore, due to the high demand for order management at restaurants with high customer footfalls, front-end software has been the primary choice, and this dominance is expected to remain in the future as well.

The UK Leads the Restaurant POS Software Industry in Europe

Regionally, the UK dominates the market with a market share of around 30%. The presence of a vast number of food service providers in this region is the main reason behind this dominance. For instance, as per the UK’s Office for National Statistics, there were around 56,101 licensed restaurants and approximately 56,102 unlicensed restaurants in the UK in 2023. Such restaurants need POS software and systems to efficiently manage their operations. Moreover, the rapid growth of online food delivery trends has fuelled the requirement for such software as it makes it easier for restaurants to manage orders and payments from multiple sources. Therefore, the high number of restaurants and the expanding online food delivery sector in the UK are the main reasons behind its dominance.
