Choose Full POS If:

Best Practice: Start with Menu Only Plan, upgrade to Full POS when you actually need the extra features. This saves money while giving you flexibility as your business grows!

What Happens After You Choose

If You Choose Menu Only:

• Set up your menu
• Start taking orders
• Get regular updates

If You Choose Full POS:

• Set up your menu
• Configure staff accounts

Pro Tip: Contact customer support during your decision. They can help you understand which features you actually need based on your specific business type and location count. This prevents you from paying for unused features or starting with too limited a setup!
