How to choose a POS
A till gets used every day for years, so a wrong choice is expensive. These are the questions worth asking any vendor, MZPoS included, and how MZPoS answers each one.
Many tills are sold as a bundle: touchscreen, printer and software together. Others, like MZPoS, are software only and run on the tablet, computer or phone you already have. Before buying hardware, ask whether the software works with yours.
Compare the total cost over three or four years, not only the first invoice. With a one-time licence, ask what you pay from the second year: updates, cloud, support. With MZPoS you can pay monthly, yearly, or a one-time licence plus an annual service from the second year; the amounts are published on the pricing page.
Ask whether you can cancel and with how much notice. With MZPoS the monthly plan renews each month until you cancel it from inside the app.
Invoicing software in Spain must meet the regulation on invoicing systems (Royal Decree 1007/2023) and, in its VERI*FACTU mode, send records to the tax agency. The AEAT does not certify software: the producer signs a responsible declaration. Ask your vendor for it (MZPoS has signed it), and check the deadlines that apply to you with your tax adviser, because the government is revising them.
Ask what keeps working: taking orders, payment, printing, opening and closing the till. With MZPoS each device keeps working from its saved copy and sends everything, in order, when the connection returns.
By kitchen printer, kitchen screen or both. Check that the order arrives immediately and that the kitchen can mark what is ready so the floor knows.
If you do takeaway or delivery, ask whether the till includes your own ordering shop and whether it charges a percentage per order. MZPoS takes no marketplace commission on orders from your own shop.
Ask for a demo with your own dishes and your way of serving, not a generic presentation. With MZPoS you can write to us and we will show it to you with your own menu.
Who it is for
It depends on space and volume. An all-in-one is sturdy at the bar; a tablet is cheaper and moves around the floor. What matters is that the software runs on what you choose: MZPoS runs on both.
Add up the software (subscription or licence), the hardware if you do not have it, and card payments. MZPoS costs from €39.99 a month + VAT (all prices are on the pricing page); hardware is bought separately.
If your current software does not meet the invoicing regulation, yes. Ask your vendor for its responsible declaration and check the deadlines that apply to you with your tax adviser.
Pick a plan, activate your first device, and start serving.
