Ordering system cost calculator: what each one costs a month
For owners choosing a POS or a QR ordering system. Enter your tables, kitchen screens, kiosks and what guests pay by phone, and see what each system would charge you a month, line by line from its own price page. What a vendor doesn't publish is marked, never guessed, and nothing is converted.
What each one publishes, a month
Line by line
How it works
Where every number comes from
The Ordering System Price Index, October 2026: each vendor's own price page, terms or help centre, read without a sales call or a test account. Every line links the page it came from.
The plan that fits
Where more than one plan would do (Square's Plus or Premium, MENU TIGER's plans by number of tables and orders), the product is priced on the one that publishes the most of what you need, then the cheapest, kitchen screens and kiosks included.
Not published is not zero
A line a vendor prices on request, or that its pages print no price for, says Not published and stays out of the total. Count those lines before you compare two totals.
Card fees
takings × rate + payments × fixed fee, where payments = takings ÷ average bill
Worked out where the vendor prints its rate for payments by phone. Where your own payment provider charges them, they're the provider's and not in the total.
Nothing converted
Each product is priced in the currency its page prints. MENU TIGER and GloriaFood print dollars wherever you are, so they're in dollars here too.
Volio's row
Volio publishes this page, so its row comes last and isn't counted in the summary. Its plan is the one on the plans for what you need. Volio takes a small fee on a bill paid by phone, which guests see before they pay, or you cover it. It isn't in the total.

Volio
One plan, nothing counted
Every Volio plan starts with 30 days of Pro, free. Ordering and paying by phone and the kitchen display come in one monthly plan, with no charge per table, code, screen or order, and payments go to your own account with your payment provider.

Something else? hello@usevolio.com
Why is one product's total so much lower than another's?
Often because what it doesn't publish isn't in it. Read the lines marked Not published: an order and pay add-on, kitchen screens or card fees can be most of the bill, and you only learn them by asking.
Why are card fees not in the total?
So the totals compare plans and devices alike. Where a vendor prints its rate for payments by phone, the card fees sit beside the total. Where your own payment provider charges them, they're the provider's, whichever ordering system you pick.
My country isn't listed. Which should I pick?
This edition of the price index reads the price pages for United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Netherlands. Pick the nearest and check the vendor's page for your own country: every line links it.
Does it include hardware?
Only where the vendor prints a price for it. Most say hardware is extra or quoted, and that shows as a line marked Not published.
How do I share or save a result?
Copy link: the numbers travel in the part of the address after #, which browsers never send to a server. Download CSV has every line with its source, for Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
A price is out of date. Where do I say?
Email hello@usevolio.com with the vendor's page. The price index's list of changes will say what moved and when.
