We would rather tell you ourselves. Each item is on our roadmap or deliberately out of scope.
Toast and Clover ship their own terminals. Restomas runs on the phones, tablets and receipt printers you already own.
TouchBistro keeps selling when the connection drops. Restomas is cloud-first and needs the internet.
Toast and Square bundle payroll. Restomas covers shift scheduling and time tracking; payroll itself is out of scope.
Toast and Square sell prepaid stored-value cards guests can gift. Restomas has stamp cards, coupons and rewards, but no prepaid gift card.
Rivals sync with accounting suites such as QuickBooks and Xero. Restomas offers reports but no direct accounting sync yet.
Square and Clover host big third-party ecosystems. Restomas has no public developer API yet.
Large vendors staff phone lines around the clock. Restomas support runs on live chat and e-mail.
Rivals carry years of G2 and Capterra history. Restomas is young; the engineering behind it carries 17 years of experience.
