Alternatives to WinPOS for food service
Most people looking for an alternative to an installed point-of-sale system want three things: no install on every machine, the waiter's phone to work, and delivery included. Makker covers all three, while keeping the till and the printers running offline for the hours when the line misbehaves.

Makker or WinPOS? A comparison guideFAQ
What people ask before they start
Will I have to change printers?
Usually not. We work with 80mm ESC/POS thermal printers, networked or USB. If yours does not print Greek properly we will tell you before you buy anything.
What happens to my old data?
It stays where it is and remains available to your accountant. Makker starts clean from the switchover date you choose.
