RTC SCORE

7.6

#4 of 11 with enough data

Our verdict

A strong fit for bars and restaurants that want to weigh bottles and connect almost any POS at a published price. Budget for the setup fee and a quarterly or annual commitment.

What we like

Published per-location prices for one to ten outlets, including the one-time setup fee.
Partial bottles are weighed with a supported Bluetooth scale in the mobile app.
Lists more than 50 POS integrations, including Toast, Square, Clover, Shift4 POS and Lightspeed, with no extra charge to connect.
A 60-day money-back guarantee on new accounts.

What to watch

No month-to-month option: the shortest term is a quarter, and fees already billed are not refunded.
A one-time $750 setup fee for one venue, and the single-venue plan caps AI invoice scanning at 75 a month.
Food and beverage are separate products; tracking both means the bundle, which costs more than either one.
WISK does not publish what happens to your data after you cancel.
