CartFlow vs Paloma365

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.

Paloma365 is cloud software for retail, food service, and service businesses that combines checkout, inventory, and reporting. Its food truck offering brings together tablet point of sale, card and QR payments, kitchen functions, and stock management; sales can continue offline and sync when connectivity returns. Staff can take orders by phone, show customers their order on a customer-facing screen, and offer QR menus or order-ahead pickup. Sales automatically deduct ingredients and packaging from stock, and recipe cards calculate food cost. Startup includes a product catalog, sales management, customer base, access rights, reports and analytics, staff tools, and discounts. Higher plans add warehouse functions, recipes, production, or booking features. Each listed plan includes one location and one workstation, with unlimited users and printers; extra workstations and sales points cost separately. Startup is listed at $23 a month, or $20/mo when paid yearly. The product runs on Android, iOS, web, and Windows, and includes API AuthKey for data exchange. A 15-day trial offers full access without feature limits and free technical support during launch.
