Point of Sale tier $69/mo software (hardware bought separately); Essentials Bundle $119/mo with restaurant-grade hardware and integrated payments included; Custom tier quote-only. Processing bundled with the payments offer (not separately published). Year-1 TCO estimate: $12,000-$25,000 quote-dependent.
Why this POS is priced this way.
TouchBistro is a Canadian full-service restaurant specialist. The product depth is genuinely strong for FSR — table mapping, course pacing, tip distribution to back-of-house, allergen tracking. The headline $69/mo is the entry price; full feature set requires custom quote. Less aggressive sales motion than Clover but more vendor-opacity than Toast.
What first-time buyers miss.
The quote-only beyond entry tier means buyers can't model Year-2 economics until after they've committed. No published 2026 processing rate either. Industry reviews suggest comparable to Toast at higher tiers; verify before committing.
Who this POS fits.
Full-service restaurants prioritising table-management depth. Independent restaurant operators (not chains). Buyers comfortable with quote-only pricing process. Not for QSR, retail, or mobile vendors.
