Their real weakness
What they don't tell you in the sales call.
Square
Not built for restaurants. Generic retail POS.
Toast
Locked to Toast Payments. $1,000+ before first order.
Clover
Processor lock-in. Most expensive hardware of the group.
TouchBistro
iPad-only. Annual contract. Every feature costs extra.
Everything included โ no add-ons, no tiers
The full stack. No add-ons. No tiers.
๐ฅ๏ธ
POS on any screen
iPad, Android tablet, old laptop, $50 Fire tablet. If it has a browser, it's a POS terminal.
๐
Kitchen Display System
Orders route to the kitchen the moment they come in. No printing. No shouting. No extra hardware.
๐
Delivery orders unified
DriverEats delivery orders appear in the same KDS queue as your walk-in POS orders. One screen.
๐ณ
Your Stripe. Your rate.
You bring your Stripe account, and your processing rate stays yours. Money settles straight to your account โ we add only a small flat per-sale software fee on in-person card sales, never a percentage of your sales.
๐จ๏ธ
Unlimited terminals
Run 4 tablets at a farmers market, 2 at a food truck, 1 at a ghost kitchen. No per-terminal fees.
๐
Reports & analytics
Sales by item, by hour, by day. Staff performance. Menu mix. All included, no subscription.
๐ต
Cash orders
Ring up walk-ins with cash. Order goes straight to KDS, no card required.
๐ฑ
QR code checkout
Customer scans a QR, pays on their phone. You get notified the second it clears.
โKeep your Stripe account. Keep your processing rate. No hardware, no contract, no processor lock-in. Your delivery orders and your in-house orders are in one system. Works on any screen you already own.โ
