Baresto Manager vs Slant KDS

Baresto Manager is a restaurant system for QR menus, waiter ordering, kitchen display, cashier workflows, and reports. Staff can manage tables and floor plans, place mobile orders, send items to the kitchen, mark them delivered, and close tables with payment. The kitchen display organizes tickets by table, supports dish-status updates and station filters for kitchen, bar, and grill, and provides real-time alerts. Guests can use Greek- or English-language QR menus with allergen and availability information, call a waiter, and scan a table-specific or shared code. Managers can view revenue, order, and top-item reports and export them as CSV. Login supports passwords and four-digit PINs, with roles for admins, managers, waiters, kitchen staff, and cashiers. Cashiers can take cash or card and print receipts. Daily service runs on venue LAN or Wi-Fi without always-on internet; downloads and updates need internet. The software runs locally and is free to run, with no license fee or SaaS subscription.

Slant KDS is a kitchen display system that helps restaurant staff organize and fulfill orders. It shows ticket times and uses color-coded statuses to distinguish orders being cooked from those ready to go.

The system works with Slant’s restaurant platform; no third-party integrations are named. Slant lists customers across several food-service settings, including fine-dining and QSR restaurants, cafes, bakeries, food courts, dessert shops, food trucks, pizza and burger shops, and bars. It is cloud-deployed and offers offline mode. The display platform is web, and listed platforms include Android, macOS, Windows, and web. For the Android app, Slant recommends a 10-inch tablet or Android POS device and sets an 8-inch minimum screen size. The Free Forever plan is free and allows 100 orders per month. Paid access is $32 a year, billed per month per outlet annually, and a 14-day trial is available.
