Our verdict
Last verified Jun 6, 2026
Robust POS with genuinely built-in advanced inventory and a large app/integration ecosystem, published tiered software pricing and strong review volume (Capterra 196 reviews); marked down because total cost adds required payments and hardware, and its inventory/recipe-costing depth trails purpose-built back-office tools.
