The most popular POS system for restaurants are: Toast POS, TouchBistro, Upserve, Revel Systems POS, Sapaad, CAKE, POS Nation and Cybersys POS.

A locally-based point of sale (POS) solution means the POS system runs from a self-contained software program installed on one or more onsite POS terminals (PCs). The POS application does not require an always on Internet connection but Internet access would be required for credit card processing.
