Niktrix and Square,honestly.

We do not print their prices here: they change them, and a number from last quarter is worse than no number. What is below is what each company publishes about how it works.

When Square is the right choice

  • You want to start this afternoon, by yourself, with a reader in a box.
  • You already run Square in another location and want one dashboard for both.
  • You sell at markets and pop-ups as much as at a counter.
  • You are comfortable building the menu and fixing the printer yourself.

When we are

  • You want somebody to arrive, install it and train your staff before the morning rush.
  • Your guests order in Spanish or Russian and you want the screen to as well.
  • You want the kiosk taking orders beside the register you already have.
  • You want one number to call that answers the same day, in your language.
