Menuthere vs Payhere
Payhere is a South Korean POS: a free POS app for phones, tablets and Windows or Mac PCs that works with Payhere's own card terminals, plus tablet table ordering, kiosks and a 'smart order' link where customers order and pay online, for pickup or from their seat. It sells to cafés, restaurants, bars and shops in Korea. The POS and smart order have no monthly fee once a terminal is bought (card and online-payment fees apply), while table ordering is a monthly fee quoted per store.
Free plan
POS app (Payhere Seller) and smart order site: 0 won a month, with no sign-up, monthly or management fee; a Payhere card terminal must be bought once (sold through Payhere's online store; the price is not stated on the product pages). Table order: monthly fee by quote only, set by the number of tablets and the month's promotion (up to 50% off, free nationwide installation). KDS, customer-management premium and delivery premium are paid subscriptions with unpublished prices (KDS has a one-month free trial; table-order contracts currently include 12 months of KDS and delivery premium). Some KakaoTalk messages (pickup and waiting notices, marketing coupons) cost per message.
