EasyBills vs Toast

The Toast alternative that runs on the hardware you already have

EasyBills runs the whole restaurant from one app on the tablet and printer you already own: billing, the kitchen, 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 Toast, the hardware is Toast’s, and recipe costing, the books and staff tasks each come from another product.

The short answer

Choose EasyBills if you want one app, your own hardware and card processor, and real books and recipe costing inside the POS, for one flat price. Toast suits a restaurant that wants hardware, payments and software bundled by one vendor.

One app, or a stack of them

Everything below is in EasyBills, in one app at one price. With Toast, 3 of these are paid add-ons or separate products.

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.
  • Runs on hardware you already own: any Android tablet or phone, or a browser, and any ESC/POS thermal printer.
  • Keep your own card processor; EasyBills takes no share of your payments.
  • Real double-entry books inside the POS: profit and loss, balance sheet and trial balance, live, with bank reconciliation, instead of a sync to separate accounting software.
  • Recipe costing with stock that deducts per sale, and supplier bills read from a photo or a forward.
  • One flat price with everything included: $20 per outlet a month, or $200 a year.

Price

Toast lists a Starter Kit at $0 a month for eligible new, single-location restaurants (a per-transaction platform fee and a two-year agreement apply) and a Point of Sale plan at $69 a month with processing at 2.49% + 15¢ per in-person transaction (American Express 3.29% + 15¢); larger setups are priced individually.

EasyBills outside India is $20 per outlet a month, or $200 a year (two months free), with everything included and no payment processing fees from EasyBills.
