iPad vs Android for restaurant POS

🔧 Setup & Installation 👁️ 3,636 views 💬 14 replies 📅 Nov 10, 2025
Hey everyone,

iPad vs Android for restaurant POS

I'm running a salon in Fort Worth, TX and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

Cost us about $122/month all in. Worth it.
