Menuthere vs スマレジ (Smaregi)
スマレジ (Smaregi) is an iPad and iPhone cloud POS from Osaka-based Smaregi, Inc., sold to shops and restaurants in Japan; its Mobile Order feature lets guests order on their own phones, at the table through a QR code (paid at the register) or paid in advance for takeaway and food courts. Restaurants pay a flat monthly fee per store: the Food Business plan (¥15,400 a month including tax) includes QR table ordering and handheld order entry, while pre-paid ordering is an app-market add-on for Premium Plus (¥8,800) or higher whose price is not shown on the product page. The free Standard plan has no mobile ordering.
