Comparison
SiteQuilt vs a standalone POS
A POS records sales and payments. SiteQuilt includes its own POS and inventory management, or connects to the POS you already run, and adds the operations around the sale.
Comparison
Side by side
An honest comparison of categories, not of named products.
| Need | A standalone POS | SiteQuilt |
|---|---|---|
| Sales and payments | Yes, this is its core job | Own POS, or a connection to yours |
| Kitchen and stock | Often basic or a separate add-on | Recipes, stock, expiry and transfers on the same data |
| Checklists and audits | Usually not included | Included, with photos and scores |
| Supplier invoices and documents | Usually handled elsewhere | Read once and routed to stock, P&L and cash flow |
| Sales matched to the fiscal Z report | Manual check | Daily reconciliation per location |
| Glovo and Bolt orders | Depends on the POS | In one kitchen queue |
When it is enough
A standalone POS is enough when you mainly need to take payments and print receipts, and you manage stock, documents and checks in another way that works for you.
Where SiteQuilt is different
SiteQuilt uses the sale as one data point among many: the same locations and people link sales to recipes, stock, invoices, checks and training.
