What EGS does

EGS is a privately held UK-based technology solutions provider specializing in electronic point-of-sale (EPOS), digital signage, kitchen display systems, self-service kiosks, intercoms, drive-thru solutions, and CCTV for the quick-service restaurant (QSR) and retail industries. Founded in 1976 in Ware by five electronic engineers from the Sumlock/Rockwell Corporation, the company has operated continuously for over 50 years and now services more than 2,000 customer locations across at least eight Western European countries. Its core product portfolio comprises nine integrated solutions: Digital Signage, the EGS Portal (a centralized content management platform for digital menu boards), Xenial-based POS systems including the cloud-based XC23, Self-Service Kiosks, Kitchen Display Systems built on Kitchen Armor hardware, Kitchen Management Systems, Drive-Thru Solutions, Quail-based intercom systems (Pro9 and Pro10), and CCTV. The technology stack is primarily an integration and value-added distribution layer over third-party platforms from Xenial, LG, Samsung, Kitchen Armor, and Quail, with the EGS Portal providing proprietary content management and remote monitoring capabilities.

The company generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales (reselling POS, signage, kiosks, KDS, intercoms, and CCTV), bespoke installation services overseen by in-house project managers, and recurring managed services including 24/7 helpdesk support, remote assistance, field engineer dispatch, and ongoing maintenance contracts on multi-year terms. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per customer engagement, reflecting a consultative enterprise sales motion. GTM is direct B2B field sales targeting QSR chains and retail businesses, supported by website content marketing, blog, and direct inquiry forms. Named enterprise customers include Burger King (with 120+ POS Works installations maintained), Wimpy, Tim Hortons, SlamBurger, Scream For Pizza, Casey Jones, Sticky Sisters, and Arlos. EGS operates a wholly owned subsidiary, Alpha Business Systems Ltd., and is led by Managing Director Mehmet Mehmet and Director Ahmed Toyer.
