Avocado POS vs eHopper

Avocado POS is an iPad restaurant system combining point of sale, kitchen display, online ordering, loyalty, text marketing, reviews, and a website. It is presented for food trucks and trailers, cafés, quick-service businesses, and full-service restaurants, bistros, and bars. Orders from a restaurant’s own website can enter the same kitchen display as other orders, with timers on kitchen tickets; DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Postmates orders can also be integrated. Reports cover sales, labor, comps, voids, and hours, while the AI assistant can answer sales and customer-data questions and make menu changes. The POS can continue taking orders, charging cards, and printing tickets during a signal outage, then synchronize later. Starter has no monthly bill and charges 5% + 15¢ per payment total. Select has custom processing rates and fees for businesses above $350,000 in annual card sales. There is no contract term.

eHopper is a point-of-sale system for small retail and restaurant businesses, with tools for sales, inventory, vendor orders, tax rates and employee management. Its inventory functions support unlimited products and categories, including pricing, quantities and vendor records. Merchants can manage unlimited employee accounts and collect customer information during checkout for outreach. Reports cover sales, inventory, customer information, staff activity and transactions. For restaurants, online ordering syncs orders with the POS for pickup, delivery or dine-in. The service runs on Android, iOS, web and Windows, and the Windows POS can continue operating offline and upload data to a cloud server. eHopper integrates with QuickBooks Online to synchronize sales, inventory and revenue data; the maker's instructions require a Freedom account and a QuickBooks Plus account. Listed monthly plans are Essential Plus at 14.99 USD, Freedom at 24.99 USD, Restaurant at 29.99 USD and OmniChannel at 39.99 USD. Online ordering lists $0.00 fees for gateway, commission, hosting, SSL and support, but a minimum service fee of $29.99 a month may apply if processing does not generate that revenue.
