We use Toast. We started with Square, but we rely heavily on kitchen display screens (KDS) and KDS support with Square was non-existent. Toast's is integral to the system and functions very well. The new Square has better integration with FreshKDS, but I don't think it's quite as stable a platform as Toast. If you don't need the KDS, why not just try to negotiate a better rate with Square? They won't offer, but if you ask you may get.
It really depends on what your restaurant is looking to get out of it. Some offer online ordering, some don't. Some are catered to smaller business and other to big ones. The important thing to do is research before deciding on which ones to contact. We just started using Talech and it is great for our small business. User friendly and great for customizing!
Finding the right POS has always been a challenge and for a msal business with limited budget the best system came with a tag that was a little too much. We needed a POS that was easy to use, scalable, efficient, with reliable customer support when needed so we can get back to what we like best and that's serving our customers. After working with several different POS we found that the Clover POS provided exactly what we needed.
