POS
SpotOn
Restaurant POS plus marketing, loyalty, reviews and strong support.
$0–135/mo + payments
What it costs
Two paths: a $0/mo All-In plan (~2.79% + 20¢ card-present, 2-year minimum term) or POS Essentials at ~$55/mo per station (lower ~2.45% + 15¢ processing, month-to-month), plus ~$3/mo per employee and a ~$75/mo minimum. Switching processors triggers a $995 conversion fee and doubles the software license cost.
Best for
Independents who want POS bundled with guest marketing, loyalty, and reviews — and value strong human support.
Pros
- POS bundled with marketing, loyalty, and reviews
- Strong, well-reviewed customer support
- Month-to-month option on Essentials
- Competitive processing rates on the paid plan
Cons
- Must use SpotOn hardware and processing
- All-In plan carries a 2-year minimum term
- Steep penalties if you switch processors later
- Per-employee and minimum fees nudge cost up
Integrations
Native SpotOn marketing, loyalty, reservations, and online ordering; integrates with common accounting and delivery tools, though the ecosystem is smaller than Toast's.

Our take: A solid value when you want POS plus guest-marketing in one with real support — just go in clear-eyed about the contract terms and processor lock-in.
