Hospitality cost overview
What does a hospitality POS system cost?
The cost of a hospitality till has two parts: a monthly subscription and the hardware you use with it. Wondering about the difference with a POS system? Below you'll find the cost items and how three typical businesses put their package together.
What cost items are there?
SmartPOSapp is delivered as a ready-to-use, pre-installed POS set. You pay a subscription per business; the POS set is bought outright, or in monthly instalments with a yearly contract.
| Cost item | What it is | Type |
|---|---|---|
| POS subscription | A fixed amount per month per business, including updates, backups and support. | Monthly |
| Tablet or PC | An iPad, Android tablet or PC that you often already have. No App Store required. | One-off |
| Receipt printer | Network printer (80 mm) at the bar, kitchen or fryer. One per work station. | One-off |
| Handhelds | Your staff's phones; one handheld is included in every plan, extra ones cost more. | Partly included |
| Kitchen display | A tablet or screen in the kitchen with the kitchen-display app. | Partly included |
| Card payments | Transaction fees and terminal costs run through your own payment provider. | External |

Frequently asked questions about cost
- What does a hospitality POS system cost on average?
- For a cloud till, expect a monthly subscription per business, plus a pre-installed POS set that you buy outright or pay off. At SmartPOSapp we set up the POS set for you completely, so costs stay limited to the subscription and the POS set you choose. Compare the plans.
- What costs come on top of the subscription?
- Think of a tablet or PC, a network receipt printer per work station, possibly a cash drawer and a card payment terminal from your payment provider. Your staff's phones can be used as a handheld without extra hardware.
- Are there setup costs or a multi-year contract?
- No, you're not tied to a long-term contract. Monthly plans can be cancelled every month; paying yearly lowers the price per month. The POS set is bought outright or paid off in monthly instalments, and is delivered fully set up.
- What does an extra handheld or kitchen display cost?
- Every plan includes at least one handheld. Extra handhelds and extra kitchen displays cost a fixed amount per month per device; the exact amount is listed per plan on the pricing page. See the prices per plan.
- Are the amounts inclusive of VAT?
- The amounts shown are exclusive of VAT and apply per business (location).
- How do you compare SmartPOSapp with other POS systems?
- Compare the subscription, the included hardware, ease of use for volunteers or staff, and whether you can get started yourself without a sales conversation. Compare POS systems.
