SpotOn review and pricing

Modern restaurant POS challenger with concierge support.

By SpotOn Transact, Inc. · Founded 2017 · Chicago, IL · private

SpotOn is the modern restaurant POS challenger, founded 2017 in Chicago. The company raised a $300M-plus Series F in 2023 led by Andreessen Horowitz. The product covers restaurant POS, payment processing, online ordering, marketing, and reservations targeted at full-service and quick-service restaurants. Strengths: modern UX, concierge-style support (white-glove onboarding), aggressive product velocity, strong fit for full-service restaurants wanting Toast alternative, founder-led culture. Best fit for full-service restaurants (1-20 locations) wanting Toast alternative with stronger onboarding support. Trade-offs: smaller installed base than Toast or Square, feature depth still building relative to Toast on multi-location franchise, and brand recognition below Toast in US.
