Questions before you switch

Will the Sophosic sample cover my restaurant service?

The Console sample covers a service booking and product order. It does not demonstrate table service, kitchen routing, or restaurant hardware. Test each routine central to your restaurant with your team before considering a switch.

What belongs in a restaurant software quote?

Start with your actual order channels and service model. Include the terminals, kitchen screens, processing, subscriptions, and any payroll or integrations you require. Ask for current package quotes and compare only the work each option can actually handle.

Can menu and guest records come with me?

Do not plan a cutover around an assumed import. Send us representative menu, customer, and transaction exports so we can confirm supported fields and validate a small sample. Keep your original data and working setup until the results have been checked.
