Switching from Toast to a POS built for coffee shops

Toast is a solid restaurant platform. But if you're running a coffee shop, you're paying for a system designed around tables, servers, and full kitchens. Dripos is built specifically for independent cafes, and switching is simpler than you think.
get started

A POS that actually fits how a coffee bar runs.

  • Menu builder designed around drink modifiers, milk options, and beverage customizations, not table-service workflows
  • Faster checkout flow built for high-volume counter service during morning rushes
  • Mobile POS lets staff take orders anywhere in the shop without a fixed terminal

One platform instead of Toast plus everything else.

  • Online ordering, loyalty, scheduling, and payroll included, no add-ons required
  • Customer data from every transaction lives in one place, not split across tools
  • No per-location restaurant features you're paying for but never using

Support from people who understand coffee shops.

  • 24/7 support from a team that works exclusively with cafes and independent operators
  • Onboarding is built around your actual menu, workflow and cafe setup
  • Feature updates come from feedback from coffee shop owners, not restaurant groups
