Air Regi, Toreta, TableCheck — picking between them is hard. This page lays out where RestaurantOS sits and links to comparisons with the major players.
Air Regi, Smaregi, Toreta, TableCheck are excellent specialised tools focused on "just POS" or "just reservations". Each has years of proven track record.
RestaurantOS is different. It runs all of these capabilities as plugins on top of a single OS — over 50 plugins covering POS, reservations, social, accounting, staffing and inventory, and you pick only the ones you need.
So we're not a replacement — we're the foundation that integrates the options you choose. Already use Air Regi? Keep its POS data flowing in and add what's missing.
