TouchBistro sells one thing: restaurant POS. Its Point of Sale bundle starts at $69 per month, and the company says that price includes the full POS software suite, with tableside ordering, floor plan and table management, menu management, staff management and reporting all unlocked. Hardware and payment processing are extra on that plan. The Essentials Bundle at $119 per month adds restaurant-grade hardware and integrated payments, and a custom setup adds front-of-house, back-of-house and guest tools. Those tools are where the bill grows: a kitchen display system, inventory, labor and profit management, online ordering, reservations, loyalty, marketing and gift cards are all add-ons sold by quote. Support is a strength, with phone and email help 24/7 including holidays and no fee for updates, and hardware financing is available for venues with two or more terminals. It suits table-service venues that want a focused POS, less so owners who need many add-ons priced upfront.
