FAQ
How we compare
How do you compare POS prices fairly?
We compare published list prices for the plan a diner chain would actually need, software only, in USD, on the date stated (2026-10-18). We link every source and list where the other vendor is stronger.
Why don’t you include processing fees?
Because they depend on your processor and volume. GetDinerPOS works with your own processor, so your rate is whatever you negotiate.
Do you compare UAE and Pakistan vendors?
Our country pages note the local reference prices we checked (for example Foodics in the UAE). Full UAE and Pakistan comparisons will follow.
Which POS is cheapest for a 3-location diner?
On published list prices for software with two registers per location, GetDinerPOS Chain is the lowest of the vendors compared here. Your own quote from each vendor may differ.
Are these comparisons sponsored?
No. We wrote them, we sell GetDinerPOS, and we say so. That is why each page lists where the competitor is stronger.
How often are prices re-checked?
Before every update of these pages; the check date is shown at the top.
Can I see the cost for my own setup?
Yes — the savings calculator takes your locations, registers and current spend.
What if a competitor’s price is wrong here?
Tell us through the contact form with a link, and we correct it with a dated note.
