ePoS systems for restaurants
I'm really liking the look of point of success, it is cheap, and seems to have all the needed functions. I'm also interested in wasp quickstore and POSPizza.
Wasp, although interesting seems to be aimed at resellers with checkouts. I am going to look at the other two.
Pricing:
POSPizza, $375USD, then $125USD per screen thereafter
Point of Success:$599USD then $200USD per screen thereafter.
Database:
Point of success seems to run on sybase's iAnywhrere Advantage Database server, for which there appears to be a free ODBC driver. POSPizza seems to run on it's own flat file database structure, and although POSPizza seems to have better reporting out of the box, i suspect that it will be easier to provide programatic access to point of success.
Look and Feel:
POSPizza is definately a terminal app for managing deliveries that has had a dine in section added at a later date. It is semi touch screen friendly, but looks like you will need a keyboard to do all but the most basic of tasks.
Point of success on the other hand is much more touch screen friendly. It has been designed from the ground up with dine in and takeaway in mind, and seems to mix both tasks into the same interface well.
I think i am settled on Point of success..
primemark has some good prices on hardware.
