Comparison
Cooku vs. a traditional POS
Every installed POS is different, so we don’t compare against a brand here: these are the questions worth asking your current system and what Cooku answers to each.

The questions worth asking
| Cooku | Your current POS | |
|---|---|---|
| How much does it cost, and is it published? | Published: Free forever, Starter USD 29 and Pro USD 59 a month, ITBMS included. No lock-in. | Ask your vendor. |
| What hardware do I have to buy? | Runs in the browser of the phone, tablet or computer you already have. Needs an internet connection. | Ask your vendor. |
| Can my customers order from their phone? | Yes: QR menu at the table and pickup or delivery orders from your link, with no commission. | Ask your vendor. |
| Is the menu in English? | Yes, with automatic translation. | Ask your vendor. |
| Does it issue e-invoices? | DGI e-invoicing in production, from Starter (500 a month included). | Ask your vendor. |
| Can I see sales from outside the venue? | Yes: it is a cloud system you open from any browser. | Ask your vendor. |
| Does it work without internet? | No: Cooku needs a connection. | Ask your vendor. |
When to keep your current POS
- Your venue has unreliable internet and you need to sell without it.
- Your current system already gives you everything you need and switching is not worth it.
When Cooku is the better fit
- You want customers to order and pay from their phone with no commission.
- You want to see sales, cash and inventory from anywhere.
- You want to try before paying: the Free plan never expires.
