Strengths & Weaknesses

Rezku
Toast
Pros
✓Flat, published software pricing ($99–$299/mo) in a niche that mostly hides behind quotes
✓Genuinely all-in-one: POS, payments, online ordering, payroll, loyalty, and inventory under one vendor
✓Customer support is the dominant praise across reviews — 24/7, U.S.-based, no extra charge
✓Restaurant-native workflows — coursing, modifiers, tips, and KDS routing built in, not bolted on
✓Unlimited 1:1 training, menu building, and in-house support included in every tier
✓Ease of use for both staff and guests is the dominant praise across reviews
✓Genuine all-in-one: POS, KDS, online ordering, loyalty, inventory, and employee management in one login
✓Offline mode keeps orders, tickets, and card payments running through a network drop
✓Offline mode keeps terminals ringing sales and printing tickets through an internet drop
✓Deep digital stack: branded app, QR order-and-pay, and DoorDash/Uber Eats/Grubhub consolidation
✓Bar/brewery-friendly with pour-monitoring hardware integrations most POS vendors skip
✓24/7/365 Toast Care support included in every subscription
Cons
✗Reporting depth is the top reviewer complaint — operators want more configurable reports than the base product gives
✗You must process card payments through Toast — no bringing your own processor
✗Hardware cost and constraints come up as a friction point in reviews
✗Runs only on Toast's proprietary hardware, not off-the-shelf iPads or Android tablets
✗Some reviewers flag price and fees relative to expectations
✗Reviewers want easier open-API integrations and deeper, configurable reporting
✗Card processing runs through a third-party processor at a rate quoted per merchant — no published rate, no bring-your-own processor
✗Multi-location operators cite permission and data-handling limits across locations
✗Implementation is billed separately from the software subscription
✗Contract terms and the sales process draw recurring friction; read the merchant agreement
✗Third-party review base is modest (42 on Capterra), so the score reflects a satisfied core rather than a high-volume consensus
✗Intermittent bugs and occasional downtime reported by some operators

Who uses restaurant software — and what each person does with it

🧑‍🍳 Owner / GM

Watches sales, food cost, labor and prime cost across shifts and locations on one dashboard — sees which menu items and dayparts actually make money.

📋 Floor manager

Builds the schedule against forecasted sales, approves shift swaps, seats the floor and clears the waitlist, and pulls the daily close from the POS.

🍽️ Server / FOH

Fires orders from the POS or a handheld, splits and adjusts checks, takes payment tableside, and the kitchen sees the ticket instantly on the KDS.

👨‍🍳 Kitchen / BOH

Works tickets on the kitchen display with station routing and timers, marks items 86'd, and depletes inventory automatically as dishes sell.

The flow the software runs end to end: guest orders (dine-in, online or delivery) → ticket fires to the KDS → items depleted from inventory → payment captured at the POS → sales, food and labor cost post to reporting and accounting → schedule and purchasing adjust to the numbers. Each stage hands off to the next without re-keying.
