Biyo POS vs CartFlow

Biyo POS is a point-of-sale system for managing stores across retail, eCommerce, and restaurant settings, including grocery stores, cafes, bars, and kiosks. Its offline mode allows transactions to continue when internet connectivity is unavailable. An Inventory Scanner app supports stocktakes and stock checks across stores, while multi-location tools provide centralized control and inventory management. Restaurant features include tableside ordering, table status tracking, reservations, and a digital floor plan. Reporting can show revenue, costs, and margins, and compare sales across locations or periods. The WooCommerce integration supports real-time inventory and order syncing, a unified product catalog, and combined online and in-store reporting. Biyo says merchants can use their own hardware, including Windows, Linux, Chrome, iOS, and OS X devices. The free Premium + Processing plan is listed for US businesses and charges processing fees. Paid plans start at $47/month per terminal, and a 14-day free trial is offered without a credit card.

CartFlow is back-office software for food trucks, market stalls, coffee carts, caterers and other mobile food businesses. It organizes event applications and bookings alongside staff, packing lists, logistics and event records. CartFlow is not a point-of-sale system; it connects to the POS an operator already uses. Reporting covers profitability by event, product and venue, including year-over-year comparisons. Inventory tools provide live counts, low-stock alerts and per-event stock usage. Sales, stock adjustments and event notes can be recorded offline and sync when a device reconnects. The browser-based service runs on phones, tablets and laptops, and can be installed on a phone home screen without an app store. Listed integrations include Square, SumUp, Zettle, Shopify POS, Lightspeed Retail, Clover, Toast, Loyverse, Xero, Zapier, HNRY via Zapier and Stripe. Free, Pro and Business plans are listed. Pro costs NZ$39 per month and Business costs NZ$79 per month; the pricing note says paid plans start at $29/mo.
