How SumPOS compares - including where we lose

The decision usually comes down to two questions. Do you want your point of sale and your payment processing bundled with a multi-year commitment, or kept separate and cancellable? And do you need restaurant depth alone, or a full back office with real accounting and local tax compliance behind it?

Lightspeed and SumPOS overlap more than Toast does, because both cover retail and hospitality. The real differences are the pricing model, how much of the back office is included versus sold separately, how the product behaves without a connection, and which markets each is built to comply with.

Most people arriving at this comparison are not evaluating Revel from scratch. They are Revel merchants who have been told they are moving to SkyTab and Shift4 processing, and are deciding whether to accept that migration or use the disruption to choose something else.

If you want a simple, proven, free till and nothing more, Loyverse is excellent and you should probably use it. If you need the same free till but with a real general ledger, production costing, franchise control and tax authority e-invoicing behind it, that is where we are different.
