Before you compare prices: architecture is the most critical factor

The low monthly price of cloud-based products looks attractive; but for a restaurant the most critical decision is not price — it is the architecture. The risk is not only an internet outage at the branch: on a fully cloud-dependent POS, central cloud outages that happen once or a few times a year — a global service outage, a cyber attack, bandwidth throttling or a central software fault on the cloud side — can halt sales at every branch at once, for hours.

A comparison of cloud, on-premise and hybrid POS architectures — at robotPOS the management products are cloud-based while the point of sale (POS) runs on a hybrid architecture
Cloud vs on-premise vs hybrid POS architecture — at robotPOS the management products run in the cloud and the point of sale (POS) runs hybrid.
Management products → cloud

Reporting, inventory, loyalty and central management are all cloud-based, providing access from anywhere and consolidation across branches.

Point of sale (POS) → hybrid

The POS application is deliberately built on a hybrid architecture: sales run locally without interruption and data is synchronised intelligently to the cloud. Sales continue even during a central cloud outage.

Kahve Dünyası

"The story of the Köfteci Ramiz brand is the story of two orphaned brothers who migrated from Macedonia to Türkiye at the start of the 19th century. Having lost their mother in infancy and with their father taken prisoner in the Battle of Çanakkale, the brothers settled in Akhisar, a district of the Aegean. There they served grilled meatballs in the style they had learned in Macedonia, alongside a special flatbread made from fresh-yeast dough. They opened their first shop in 1928 in Akhisar — a tiny place with four tables. After Ramiz Usta passed away in 1970, his four sons continued to keep their father's name alive. In 2000 they opened their second branch, again in Akhisar, on the İzmir–İstanbul highway. That second branch became a springboard, and in 2006 the first İstanbul branch opened in Levent Çarşı. The Köfteci Ramiz brand continues to grow, today with 150 branches in 31 provinces."
