Our verdict on SambaPOS
SambaPOS is a configurable restaurant point-of-sale and management system for restaurants, cafés, bars, fast-food businesses and delivery operations. It brings table, counter, delivery and takeaway orders into one system, with kitchen display workflows, inventory and cost tracking, custom menus, payments, reporting and employee permissions. The core SambaPOS V5 Pro application runs on Windows and supports multiple terminals, while separate mobile client software supports waiter ordering and table-status tracking on Android and iOS devices. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Pricing is straightforward: SambaPOS V5 Pro costs $339 as a one-time purchase and includes a lifetime license, multiple terminal usage, table service management, delivery service management, custom reports and data analytics, plus inventory, sales and cost tracking. That structure may suit restaurants that prefer a perpetual license over recurring core software fees. The published plan also covers payment handling for cash, cards, vouchers, loyalty and group payments. Restaurants should account for the Windows requirement and consider how mobile ordering fits their deployment, since the main application and mobile client are separate parts of the product.
Its operational coverage is broad for restaurants managing several service channels. Teams can use real-time table availability, kitchen order-status workflows, custom menus with themes, submenus and order modifications, and granular employee permissions. Integrations include Global Payments Integrated, GloriaFood, RestaJet, 7shifts, Shipday, PaymentSense, Dojo, E-Invoice, Jetrik, Worldline TIM, Uber Eats, Grubhub and DoorDash. SambaPOS is a strong fit for Windows-based restaurants that want tables, delivery, kitchen, inventory and reporting in one configurable system. Businesses seeking a platform built around a non-Windows core or a simpler, narrower POS may prefer another option.
