Existing POS and modern SaaS: compare what matters
How can I compare an existing POS system with a modern SaaS platform?
Compare the current product’s workflows, operations, updates, integrations and total cost. The supplier’s founding year does not determine today’s features. Ask for a demonstration and terms that apply to your restaurant.
Restaurant POS systems have evolved through several changes in technology. Local operations, cloud functions and connected platforms have different characteristics, but a product should be assessed on how it works today.
Use the same tasks
Give each supplier the same scenario: a booking, an order with modifiers, kitchen communication, payment and reporting. Include staffing or multiple locations where relevant to the business.
Ask what is included in the system and what requires an external service. Check current support for the connections you need. An integration on a future roadmap should not be assessed as an available function.
Compare responsibility and cost
Review licences, equipment, payments, setup and support. Ask for terms covering updates, data export and ending the agreement. A cloud subscription alone does not establish contract length or hardware compatibility.
Assess procedures during interruptions and how staff receive help. Neither a long company history nor a new technology choice can replace documented practices and a relevant demonstration.
