Why business owners look at an alternative
DISH POS is mostly used by hospitality businesses looking for an entry-level till with a subscription. Those considering a switch usually mention these points.
More than just ringing up sales
Besides checkout you get stock, upsell rules, gift cards with a remaining balance, staff scheduling with clock in/out and reporting per shift or employee.
Hospitality and retail in one system
The same till works with a barcode scanner, item stock and customer cards, so a mixed business doesn't need to run two packages.
Manage everything yourself
Upgrading or downgrading your subscription, adding extra handhelds and turning on modules is done from your own settings, without a phone call.
Four questions for your current supplier
- Which modules are in the base subscription and which cost extra?
- What does an extra till, handheld or kitchen display cost per month?
- Can I downgrade or cancel myself from my account?
- Do I get reporting per employee, shift and payment method?
SmartPOSapp's answers are public on the pricing page and in the comparison guide.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need special hardware?
No. You get a pre-installed till set on a tablet, laptop or PC, ready to use. For ordering at the table you use regular phones as a handheld, connected to the same wifi network as the till.
Can I turn on QR ordering for my terrace?
Yes, QR ordering is a module within the subscription. You download the QR codes per table and set your own opening hours during which guests can order.
How can I try the system out first?
You request a demo; we set up SmartPOSapp with a sample menu, so you see exactly how the till and the modules work before you order.
Can I manage multiple locations?
Yes. With location management you work with one central item and price list and see reporting per location.
