All-in-one ecosystem covering POS, payments, ordering, and operations
Ranked number one restaurant POS by G2 for multiple consecutive quarters
Serves both restaurants and general small businesses via SpotOn Terminal
Backed by major investors, indicating financial stability
Cons
Detailed hardware and software pricing is not published upfront
Requires a demo or sales conversation to get an accurate quote
Payment processing rates add to the total cost beyond the software fee
Primarily optimized for foodservice, with fewer industry-specific features outside restaurants
Full feature set may be more than very small or single-location operators need
cirquly
Pros
Purpose-built for consignment retail: automates consignor balances, payouts, and communication rather than adapting a generic POS
Handles Dutch VAT compliance automatically for stores mixing consignment and first-hand (VAT) inventory
"My Cirquly" self-service portal gives consignors visibility into their own stock and balance, reducing manual admin
14-day free trial available on the Start and Groei plans before committing
Cons
Site and product marketing are Dutch-language only, which may limit fit outside the Dutch/European market
The multi-location "Expert" plan requires a minimum of 2 locations, so smaller single-location, higher-complexity needs aren't well served by that tier
Shopify/WooCommerce e-commerce sync and the horeca (food service) module are separate paid add-ons rather than included in the base plans
No published integrations beyond Shopify/WooCommerce were found, which may limit fit for retailers on other e-commerce platforms
