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 vendor itself says a fixed amount is hard to apply and works with custom quotations; only the entry-level till has a public price with transaction fees. That makes comparing hard before you sit down at the table.

When Guest POS suits you better
- You want one fixed price for unlimited devices and users
