Toast alternative
Everything you run your restaurant on — POS, direct online ordering, kitchen, payments and loyalty — in one platform, with commission-free direct ordering and monthly or annual billing options.
Toast is a capable, restaurant-native system. When comparing alternatives, review add-on pricing, processing fees and contract terms. Novaryq brings core restaurant operations into a single platform, keeps online ordering free of Novaryq per-order commission, and offers a month-to-month option.
Pay no Novaryq per-order commission and keep the guest relationship; processing and delivery fees may apply.
POS, KDS, loyalty, inventory and payroll preparation on one platform — see the plan comparison for what each tier includes.
Month-to-month and annual options are available. Your signed agreement states the cancellation terms.
One menu, pricing and reporting engine across every location and brand.

Total up software tiers, add-ons, processing, hardware requirements and the selected contract term. Novaryq combines the listed restaurant tools in per-location plans, charges no Novaryq per-order commission for direct online orders, and offers monthly or annual billing options.
We help you import your menu, build your floor plan and train staff before a scheduled cutover. During a supported offline session, terminals can record cash sales and sync them after reconnect; card payments require connectivity and resume when it returns.
Pricing depends on your size, channels and selected plan. Compare software, separately priced add-ons, processing, hardware and the selected term item by item. Novaryq charges no per-order commission on direct online orders; processing and delivery fees may apply.
Novaryq runs on standard hospitality-grade hardware. Talk to us about your current devices during onboarding and we will map a path that avoids unnecessary replacement.
No single term applies to every plan. Month-to-month and annual options are available; annual pricing carries a committed term, cancellation follows the signed agreement, and your data remains exportable.
Yes — POS, online ordering, kitchen display, payments, loyalty, marketing, inventory and staff run on one connected platform with one login, so your core operations share the same menu, orders and reporting instead of living in separate tools. Software plans are priced per location; applicable taxes, hardware, onboarding, payment processing, delivery and usage-based services are separate.
