Small single-location operators (Square or TouchBistro simpler), buyers wanting modern UX (Toast cleaner), or restaurants prioritizing fastest AI features (Toast better).
Mid-market restaurants and quick-service chains (5-50 locations) wanting deeper workflow customization, strong inventory and reporting, and combined restaurant plus retail operations.
