Our verdict

Clear module pricing and a month-to-month agreement, but no public card rates. Ask for your order form, the current agreement and the processor's rates in writing.

What we like

  • Low published entry price, with module prices listed.

What to watch

  • Card rates are not published, and the restaurant agreement it publishes dates from 2017.

Cost to get started

The cash your restaurant puts in before it opens on the new POS, in our reference scenario ($30k/month in card sales, $35 average ticket, 2 terminals, 1 location, 36 months): equipment you buy up front plus one-time setup or installation fees. Same rows for every POS.

25% of the RTC Score

Total to get startedCan't be calculated with published data

What's missing

  • Terminals: not published.

Left out and why

  • Monthly and yearly charges (rent, software, yearly fees per device) are part of the 36-month cost, not of the entry cost.

Switching or signing bonus

What the vendor's current promotions are worth to our reference restaurant ($30k/month in card sales, $35 average ticket, 2 terminals, 1 location, 36 months), an established restaurant switching from another company's POS.

25% of the RTC Score

Counted in the RTC Score

$0

No current switching or signing promotion. It counts $0.

Promotions end and change, so we re-check them: one with no end date comes down if we can't re-check it within 30 days, and an expired one stops counting the day after it ends.

Hardware warranty

The same rows for every POS: how long the main terminal is covered against defects when you get it a standard way (buying, leasing, renting, a subscription or a loan), the conditions, including what it leaves out and what keeping it costs, and the price to replace that terminal outside the coverage.

Hardware warranty includedNot publishedSource: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)The US site promises hardware maintenance and loaner equipment during repairs, but gives no warranty length.
Warranty conditionsEats365 says its after-sales service includes hardware maintenance and loaner equipment during repairs, with no hidden charges. It publishes no written terms for this: no warranty length, exclusions, accidental-damage coverage, shipping terms or paid plan. The POS runs mainly on iPads.Source: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)
Price to replace the main terminalNot publishedSee my price for Eats365 (opens the provider's site in a new tab)Source: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)The main terminal is an iPad. Eats365 publishes no hardware prices; replacing it costs whatever an iPad costs at retail.

The RTC Score only counts how long defects are covered. What the coverage leaves out (accidents, theft, loss) and what it costs to keep are in the conditions. A protection plan sold separately doesn't count; if the vendor offers one, it's in the conditions. The replacement price isn't added to the 36-month cost, because there's no public data on how often equipment fails.

Trial or money-back period

Whether you can try the POS and leave, and what it costs you if you do. Same rows for every POS.

Trial or money-back periodTrial with no software chargesSource: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)
Trial period14 daysSource: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)
Charges during the trialNoSource: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)
Trial conditions14 days of Eats365 POS with every feature and unlimited users, with no payment or credit card required. The trial page doesn't say whether it covers hardware or card processing, who can use it or when it starts; on the pricing page the trial button appears on POS Basic and POS Advanced.Source: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)

In the RTC Score the trial is part of the contract block, the lowest weight in the model: full points when you can try it with no software charges or get your money back, half when you can cancel without the early termination fee but the charges during the trial are yours.

Dual pricing or surcharge programUnconfirmedSource: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)Eats365's global help center documents a surcharge you can apply to a payment method, but we found no dual pricing, surcharge or cash discount program published for US restaurants, with its US conditions. It is not counted until we can confirm one.
Cards the program coversUnconfirmedSource: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)We found no dual pricing, surcharge or cash discount program published for US restaurants, so there are no card types to report.
Other fees in the contractEach extra POS is $20 a month, and each module has its own monthly price (kitchen display $20, mPOS $20, customer display $20, self-service kiosk $45 on iOS or $70 on Android, among others). Online ordering, loyalty, gift cards and reservations have no published price. Orders through the Eats365 Marketplace pay a commission percentage plus card processing, and late payments on those invoices accrue interest of up to 1% a month.Source: Eats365 (opens in a new tab)Module prices are from the US pricing page (monthly billing); the Marketplace commission and interest are in section 3.4 of the restaurant agreement, which doesn't publish the percentage.
