Sales, menu and team performance in Upserve HQ, without exporting to a spreadsheet.
Every card payment adds to a guest profile. No loyalty sign-up required.
Menu build, installation, training and 24/7/365 support from a team that knows restaurants.
Check where you are in your SpotOn term and what you still owe on hardware. Then walk through Upserve with your real menu. If SpotOn's counter-service and labor tools are what you need most, it may still be the right fit.
Bring your SpotOn agreement, devices, integrations and the service details you need to keep.
Walk through your menu, floor plan and trickiest splits. Review the proposed setup and every line of the quote.
Confirm configuration, training, installation and what data can come with you, then set a go-live date that works around your term.
A specialist rebuilds your menu, modifiers, and floor plan with you, so day one feels familiar, not foreign.
Terminals, handhelds, printers, kitchen screens, networking. Our team configures all of it. You run service, we run cables.
Give your team hands-on practice with your actual menu and POS workflows, without affecting live service or reporting.
Chat, phone, or email, any hour. Real people who have worked a rush and know what we are slammed means.
For a new opening or single restaurant that needs a reliable, full-featured POS.
