TouchBistro is a fairly expensive restaurant POS system. But, as the saying goes, ‘you get what you pay for’. TouchBistro’s restaurant POS software is rammed full of features to help you run and manage your business, including sophisticated tableside ordering, in-depth back end reporting, and the ability to integrate with plenty of third party apps.  

For high end restaurants with cocktail bars, staff can process orders in just two taps, giving them more time to make customers feel welcome. At the table, naturally placed menu prompts enable servers to upsell on the spot, or inform customers of any allergy information. 

The hospitality EPOS system also offers restaurant owners a way to increase customer loyalty, which is particularly important in current times. Thanks to a built-in loyalty functionality, you can collect information on what your members are ordering and send them targeted marketing material, such as offers on their favourite dishes or wines. 

While TouchBistro’s restaurant POS system has lots of features for you to take advantage of, it is expensive, so you may want to think about going for this system if you’re sure that you’ll make full use out of it. 

TouchBistro pricing: First license £49/month, 2nd and 3rd license £45/month, 4-9 licenses £40/month

Pros

Sophisticated table ordering with menu prompts

Intuitive to use

Great customer loyalty functionality

Integrates with booking and delivery software

Cons

Only compatible with iPads

Expensive

Customer service can be a bit hit and miss

What the users said:

“Easiest system I've ever worked with, and my staff also agree. The amount of features you get for the price is excellent (stock and staff management etc.). Had one issue last year which they solved within 10 minutes. Would 10/10 recommend.”

iZettle Food and Drink has replaced iZettle Pro as iZettle's point of sale offering for restaurant businesses. It's far more sophisticated than its predecessor, offering more features and integrations such as delivery app integration and payment options. iZettle is also offering businesses iZettle Food and Drink free for three months if you sign up by the end of September. 

iZettle Food and Drink is very similar to Square for Restaurants when it comes to features, although Square does offer restaurant business owners more freedom when it comes to integrating things like customer relationship management and employee management software.

However, the great thing about iZettle Food and Drink is it's a decent product in its own right, and should offer restaurant businesses most of what they need without having to worry about paying extra for third party apps. While iZettle has pushed up its payment processing fee from 1.25% to 1.75%, the software is much cheaper than Square for Restaurants, coming in at just £29/month per iPad.

Price: £29/month per iPad

Pros

Sophisticated table management

Intuitive to use and easy to set up

Bill management features

Integrates with booking and delivery software

Cons

Only compatible with iPads

Doesn't much in the way of customer loyalty management

Gets expensive when you have more than two iPads

What the users said:

“Great app for new companies setting up on a budget but robust enough to support a mid-size organisation. Simple, programmable interface with a high degree of functionality.”
