Compare restaurant POS systems, honestly
We sell two of these. We have written the cases where the other one wins anyway.
We sell Shift4 Dine and Clover, and you should read these pages knowing that. Each comparison names the situations where Toast or Square is genuinely the better answer for your restaurant, because a comparison where our product wins every row would not be worth your time. Every figure is sourced to the vendor's own published page.

Questions restaurant owners ask
Why would a dealer publish comparisons that favour a competitor?
Because a comparison where our product wins every row would not be worth reading, and you would know it. We sell Shift4 Dine and Clover. There are restaurants that are better served by Toast or Square and we would rather say so here than have you find out later.
Where do the figures come from?
Each page lists its sources with the vendor URL and the date retrieved. Where a vendor does not publish a figure, we write not published rather than repeating a number from a review site. Shift4 does not publish a software price or a card rate, and we say so plainly.
How current are these comparisons?
Every page carries the date it was checked. Vendor pricing changes without notice, so treat these as a starting point and confirm current figures with the vendor before you sign anything.
