Step 1 of 3
What kind of food business do you run?
Every comparison here starts with that, because the POS that suits a 120-cover dining room is usually wrong in a truck, and almost every buying guide online pretends otherwise. Pick your setup, pick the problem, tell us what you care about. You get a name and the reasoning behind it.

Why bother with another one of these
Three things the other twelve tabs you have open won't do
Visible maths
Every recommendation shows the scores behind it, out of five, on every axis we used. Disagree with our weighting and the table still works: change the priorities and it re-scores in front of you.
Prices with a date on them
Each figure carries the day we read it off the vendor's own page. Anything unverified says so rather than sitting there looking authoritative, and anything older than four months gets flagged as due a recheck.
We tell you what we own
We also build Bzz, a waitlist and buzzer tool. It appears in its own two categories, labelled every time, scored the same way, with its weaknesses written down like everyone else's.
