Guest POS versus DISH POS (formerly booq)
Guest POS vs DISH POS (formerly booq)
DISH POS is a mature system with a large network. The supplier itself says a fixed price is hard to give and works with custom quotes; only the entry-level till has a public price, with transaction fees. That makes comparing hard before you sit down at the table.

|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | on request | one fixed price, all POS features and integrations included |
| Entry price | Entry-level till €560 once, €0 per month, 1.6% transaction fee | €199 per month excl. VAT |

When DISH POS (formerly booq) suits you better
- You want a complete package with hardware, installation and support from one party
- You are already deep into METRO or DISH
- You want an entry-level till without monthly fees and accept transaction fees
When Guest POS suits you better
- You want one fixed price for unlimited devices and users
- You use, or are considering, TableFlow, KitchenOps or HorecaGPT and want everything in step instead of loose links
- You want kitchen display, expo, QR ordering and packages without separate modules
- Your team works in several languages
Switching: a DISH or booq menu also arrives as a proposal through the configuration import.
