These restaurant POS comparison pages put our plans next to well-known vendors on the things owners ask about: monthly price, PCI fees, online ordering, contracts and hardware. Every competitor fact shows the date we checked it and the source, because prices change. Confirm with each vendor before you decide.

TouchBistro and Restaurant POS Studio are both built for table service. TouchBistro suits owners who want a long-established iPad system with its own reservations and add-on products.
List prices as published by the vendor or by third-party pricing reviews on the date checked. Sources disagree in places; ranges are shown. Confirm with each vendor before relying on them.
Compare the full monthly cost, not the headline plan. Add PCI and statement fees, online ordering and loyalty add-ons, kitchen screen charges and hardware leases. Then check the contract length, whether you must use their card processing, and whether the screens work in your team's language. Test with your own menu.
Most POS pricing pages show one number. The real bill is the plan plus the fees and add-ons around it. Use your own statements and our savings calculator to see the full cost. Contracts matter as much as price. A low monthly fee with a three-year term and leased hardware can cost more than a higher fee you can cancel any month.
Finally, run a real order. A free trial with your own menu shows you more than any comparison table. Ring in a busy table, fire the mains, split the check and read the report. You will know quickly which system your team can live with. Ask your servers and cooks too, because they use it every shift.
From the vendors' own published pricing and from third-party pricing reviews, checked on the date shown on each page. Where sources disagree, we show a range. We do not guess at private contract terms. Prices and plans change often, so always confirm the current price with the vendor before you rely on it.
Each comparison page lists the sources for its numbers. If a vendor changes its pricing, the page can go out of date until we check again, which is why the date is printed beside the facts. We describe competitors fairly. They are large, capable companies, and some owners are well served by them. Our pages explain where we differ, such as no contract, your own processor and staff languages.
If you spot a fact that has changed, tell us and we will recheck it. If you spot a fact that has changed, tell us and we will recheck it. We update the page and its checked date, and we do it even when the new fact makes the comparison less favorable to us.

We compare with well-known restaurant POS vendors that owners ask about most, such as Toast, Square for Restaurants, Clover and TouchBistro. Each has its own page with dated, sourced facts.
They were current on the date shown on each page. Prices change, and sources sometimes disagree, so we show ranges. Confirm the current price with the vendor before deciding.
Because some vendors charge a monthly PCI fee on top of the plan, and it is easy to miss. We do not charge PCI or statement fees, since card processing runs through your own processor.
No. Card rates depend on your processor, card mix and contract. We compare software, fees and add-ons. Ask each processor for your effective rate and compare that separately.
No, and we will not claim that. Large vendors offer features and service networks that suit some restaurants. Our POS suits independent full-service owners who want no contract, their own hardware and processor, and multilingual staff screens.
Yes. Book a demo and bring your current statement. We can run your menu on our POS and go through your bill line by line with you.
Tell us what changed and where you saw it. We recheck the source and update the page with a new checked date. Accuracy matters more to us than winning the comparison.
Yes. Each page notes whether the vendor requires its own hardware and whether it is bought or leased. Our POS works with standard tablets and ESC/POS printers you buy anywhere.
Run the free trial next to your current POS for a week before you decide.
