The Problem with Traditional Restaurant POS

Engage Guests

What Most POS Companies Don't Tell You

The typical restaurant POS pitch sounds great — until you see the real cost:
  1. Monthly software fees: $69–$150+/month per terminal


  2. Separate payment processing: POS + Payment from two vendors with double charges


  3. Online ordering add-ons: $50–$100/month extra


  4. AI/automation: Only in premium plans or not available


  5. 24/7 support: Rarely included; often per-incident fee


  6. Long contracts: 1–3 years with termination penalties
