WHY SWITCH — THE HONEST GRID

What's an add-on there
is included here.

The "all-in-one" platforms are mostly modular upsell. Here's the module-by-module truth — with our pricing published and theirs behind a demo call.

THE MATHS

Where the money actually goes.

“FREE” TIERS ELSEWHERE
Free plans that pay for themselves — theirs, not yours.

Toast's “$0” starter kit runs on processing around 3.09%. Square's free plan gates table management and coursing behind Plus. Our free tier is the whole product at published rates.

PER-LOCATION TAXES
Multiply by sites, and it stacks fast.

Square Plus runs ~£69 per location per month. Lightspeed stacks per-terminal fees and hardware rental. Serv-OS App is multi-site from day one — no per-terminal stacking, no enterprise gate.

DEMO-GATED PRICING
If the price were good, it'd be on the page.

Toast, Lightspeed tiers and the AI-first players make you book a call to learn the cost. Our plans and card rates are published — on the pricing page.

WHAT THEY CAN'T COPY

Three things, and no one can copy all three.

01
No paywall, ever

Every feature, every venue. Pricing scales with revenue, not features. Their entire business model is the upsell — they structurally can't follow.

02
UK-built compliance

Tipping Act 2023 tronc, HMRC-correct VAT, Natasha's Law allergens, Challenge 25, HACCP. US platforms retrofit; we started here.

★ 03
Customers become owners

Every subscriber earns a fractional stake. You own a piece of the platform you run your business on — the opposite of contract lock-in.

Don't take the grid's word for it.
Book a demo and drive the real till — floor, pass and payments — before you commit. No phone-number toll gate, no slideware.
