Waiterio review
A low-cost restaurant POS with broad device support, tables, kitchen tools, and online ordering.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Waiterio is a restaurant point-of-sale system for restaurants, bars, and other food businesses. It brings order entry, table layouts, menu management, staff roles, payments, discounts, taxes, sales reports, kitchen displays, thermal-printer workflows, online ordering, and QR-code self-ordering into one service. Its broad device coverage suits small restaurants that want a straightforward POS across web, desktop, and mobile operating systems.
The freemium structure gives buyers a low-risk starting point. The Free plan includes restaurant POS access and is limited to 100 orders per month. Paid plans are priced monthly: Small costs $39, Medium costs $59, and Large costs $79. Each paid tier lists restaurant POS features, while the plans are based on monthly order volume. The feature set covers core front-of-house and back-of-house work, including table-status tracking, item customization, restricted staff access, discounts, taxes, split bills, sales reporting, kitchen display workflows, and online ordering.
Platform flexibility is a clear strength, with support for web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Restaurant data is synchronized through a cloud database, while offline use is read-only and new orders require connectivity. Waiterio is therefore a sensible fit for small restaurants prioritizing simple, low-cost POS coverage across multiple device types. Restaurants that need integrations or the ability to create orders during an internet outage should consider an alternative with those capabilities.
