SpotOn Restaurant
SpotOn Restaurant is a cloud-based restaurant management system combining point-of-sale, online ordering, reservations, labor management, AI-powered P&L analysis, and integrations. Its POS includes table layouts, menu management, ordering, payments, reporting, and employee tools. SpotOn presents options for full-service restaurants, bars and pubs, and counter service, as well as casual and fine dining, breweries, quick service, fast casual, cafes, and bakeries. The dashboard adds an AI menu assistant, dynamic reporting, marketing campaigns, remote management, multi-location tools, and employee tools. SpotOn Order connects commission-free online ordering to SpotOn POS and the GoTo Place app. Direct delivery integrations include DoorDash and Uber Eats; other delivery platforms are supported through Deliverect. Offline mode is designed to keep stations connected and orders flowing to the kitchen during internet outages, then sync payments when connectivity returns. Users can access the dashboard from a browser on any device. SpotOn says its restaurant POS uses proprietary hardware, so customers cannot use their own POS hardware or tablets. Pricing includes POS Essentials at $55 per station per month, plus implementation, hardware, and processing costs. Support is available 24/7/365 at no extra cost.
