Comparison FAQ
RestroManage vs. Shopify POS, Answered
Is Shopify POS built for restaurants?+
Not natively. Shopify POS Pro is a $89/location/month add-on layered on top of a Shopify plan ($39–$399+/month), and Shopify is fundamentally a retail/e-commerce platform — it has no native kitchen display, floor plan, or table/QR ordering workflow. RestroManage is purpose-built for restaurants from the ground up.
Do I need a separate e-commerce plan to use RestroManage?+
No. Unlike Shopify POS, which requires an underlying Shopify subscription before you can even add POS Pro, RestroManage is one platform, one price, with your storefront and ordering already included.
Does RestroManage have a kitchen display and floor plan like a restaurant needs?+
Yes — kitchen display, QR table ordering, and reservations with a real floor plan are built in. These aren't native Shopify POS workflows, since it's designed for retail checkout, not restaurant service.
How does total cost compare?+
RestroManage uses clear per-location packages: Bistro starts with online ordering at AUD 19, while Brasserie, Signature, and Enterprise progressively add restaurant operations and integrations.
