Discover why restaurant groups are replacing Toast POS with ASPORD to eliminate proprietary hardware lock-ins, avoid forced payment markup fees, and access true offline peer-to-peer syncing.
Freedom from walled gardens and unpredictable payment fees.
Toast forces you to purchase expensive proprietary Elo hardware. ASPORD runs natively on any standard iPad, Android tablet, PC, or existing printer setup.
Avoid Toast's mandatory payment processing surcharges. Connect your preferred payment gateway with 0% platform markup.
When internet fails, Toast terminals become isolated. ASPORD terminals maintain a local peer-to-peer Wi-Fi mesh so all registers stay updated.
Toast relies on costly 3rd-party add-ons like xtraCHEF for inventory. ASPORD includes real-time recipe costing natively.
