Niktrix and Toast,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 Toast is the right choice
- You run a full-service restaurant with servers, courses and table turns.
- You need deep labour scheduling and inventory down to the ounce.
- You have a general manager whose job includes running the system.
- You are opening several locations and want one vendor across all of them.
When we are
- You run a counter, and the line at eight in the morning is the whole problem.
- You do not want a multi-year agreement to find out whether it suits you.
- You want the hardware to be yours, with no early-termination clause.
- You want the person who installed it to be the person who picks up the phone.
