A POS is built to take orders and record sales, and most do it well. Peasily includes a POS, but it is built around net profit: food cost against the recipes, buying, staff and every outlet's P & L Account, every morning.

When a POS alone is enough
If you run one small outlet, count stock by hand every week, and your accountant sends a clear P & L within days of month end, a POS may be all you need. Many good restaurants run this way.
When you need more than a POS
- Sales are growing but profit is not.
- Food cost is a number you see once a month, if at all.
- Stock, buying and staff live in spreadsheets and chat groups.
- You run, or plan to run, more than one outlet.

Questions
Does Peasily replace my POS?
It can. Peasily includes POS billing, tables and a kitchen screen, so the sales feed straight into food cost and profit.
Is a POS with reports not the same thing?
Sales reports show what you sold. Profit needs what each dish cost, what was used, wasted and bought, and what staff cost. That is what Peasily adds.
Can I start with one outlet?
Yes. Peasily One is for a single outlet, and moving to Peasily Brand later keeps all your data.
