Toast
Pros
- Deepest restaurant feature set in this list
- $0 starter option for a single location
- Offline mode for card payments
- Payroll and team tools from the same vendor
Cons
- Works only on Toast hardware, so you cannot reuse it if you leave
- Processing fixed fee, keyed rate and contract terms are quote-only
- Pay-as-you-go rate of 3.09% gets expensive as sales grow
- Little reason to choose it outside food service
