GastroSystem vs. orderbird
orderbird offers an iPad POS system — but no ordering system of its own. GastroSystem delivers POS and ordering system from a single source, without commission.
orderbird is an iPad POS system for hospitality and retail based in Berlin. It covers POS functions, table planning and reporting — but lacks a built-in online ordering system. Restaurants that want online orders with orderbird need to connect a third-party tool. GastroSystem combines POS and ordering system in one solution — without commission and without separate contracts.
Our verdict
orderbird is a solid POS system — but without its own ordering system. If you want to offer online orders through your own app, orderbird requires additional tools and contracts. GastroSystem delivers both in one package: POS + ordering system, no commission, no extra costs.
