Overview

TouchBistro is a cloud-based POS system built specifically for restaurants. It covers the full operation: front of house tools like tableside ordering and floor plan management, back of house tools like inventory and kitchen display systems, and guest engagement tools like loyalty programs, online ordering, and gift cards. The base POS starts at $69 per month and includes menu management, staff management, reporting, and tableside ordering. An Essentials Bundle that includes software, hardware, and integrated payment processing starts at $119 per month with no upfront hardware costs. TouchBistro charges no commission fees on online orders, no fees for customer support, and no fees for app updates. Support runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. One customer, Gary Jones of Alabama Theatre, reported a 20% rise in per-head revenue after switching to TouchBistro.
