Compare

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 want to try it month to month.
  • You want the hardware to be yours.
  • You want the person who installed it to be the person who picks up the phone.

What each company publishes on its own site, checked September 2026. A dash means they do not publish an answer we could check. Clover is sold through banks and dealers, so install, support and contract depend on who sold it to you.
