EasyBills vs Square for Restaurants

The Square for Restaurants alternative with the books built in

EasyBills runs the whole restaurant from one app: billing, QR ordering, the kitchen display, recipe costing, supplier bills read from a photo, real double-entry books and a daily routine for every role, for a flat $20 per outlet a month. With Square, the kitchen display and invoice capture cost extra and the books live in another app.

The short answer

Choose EasyBills if you want everything in one app at one price, with your own card processor and real books inside the POS, for one flat price. Square suits a business that wants payments built in and a free plan to start.

One app, or a stack of them

Why restaurants choose EasyBills

  • One app and one price for the whole restaurant: no add-ons to pick, and no separate accounting, inventory or task apps to pay for and keep in step.
  • Real double-entry books inside the POS, not a nightly export to accounting software: profit and loss, balance sheet and trial balance, live.
  • Recipe costing, wastage on its own line and supplier bills read from a photo or a forward, all on one price, not on a higher plan.
  • Keep your own card processor; EasyBills takes no share of your payments.
  • Billing and kitchen tickets keep working offline and sync, with their accounting entries, when the internet is back.
  • One flat price with everything included: $20 per outlet a month, or $200 a year.
