WHAT THEY LEAVE TO ADD-ONS

Everything in one platform.

POS platforms leave reservations, kitchen displays and online ordering to add-ons, and lock you into their hardware. Calisto includes it all.

Delivery Aggregation: 11 Platforms, One Dashboard
Toast has limited delivery partnerships. Square has none. Calisto aggregates orders from UberEats, DoorDash, Rappi, PedidosYa, iFood, Glovo, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Bolt Food, Mr D Food, and Jumia Food into a single dashboard. Menu sync, order normalization with real-time kitchen routing, and revenue and commission mapping per platform are all automatic.
Reservations: Built In
Toast and Square have no reservation system at all. Calisto includes a native reservation engine with an online booking widget for your website, waitlist management with SMS notifications, and table assignment tied to the floor plan designer.
Digital Menu Boards & Kitchen Displays: Included
Toast sells kitchen displays as an add-on. Square has no display system. Calisto Display powers menu boards, kitchen order boards, and wait time boards through native Apple TV, Android TV, and Fire TV apps. Content updates in real-time from your POS menu. Offline caching means displays keep working even if your internet drops.

Choose your processor. Not theirs.

Toast locks you into Toast Payments and its hardware. Square forces Square Payments. Calisto connects to 73 payment gateways across 11 global regions. Your merchant account. Your rates. Zero lock-in.

Honest answers

Switching questions

Does Calisto work with my existing POS hardware?

Yes. Calisto runs on any modern tablet, desktop, or touch screen. No proprietary hardware required. Your existing iPads, Android tablets, or desktop terminals work out of the box. Kitchen displays run on Apple TV, Android TV, or Fire TV.

Can I keep my current payment processor?

Absolutely. Calisto connects to 73 payment gateways. Keep your existing merchant account, your negotiated rates, and your existing card terminals. We never force you onto a proprietary gateway.

How does Calisto handle delivery platform integration?

Calisto aggregates orders from 11 delivery platforms (UberEats, DoorDash, Rappi, iFood, Glovo, Deliveroo, and more) into a single kitchen queue. Menu sync is automatic across all platforms. Revenue mapping tracks commissions per platform. No more juggling multiple tablets behind the counter.

How does pricing work?

Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 98 products with no feature restrictions. Core and Enterprise carry no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.

Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
