What to check
Legacy POS suites vs Zorveta One: what to check
Twelve questions to ask any long-established POS suite, and how Zorveta One answers each one.
Who this is for
Owners renewing a contract with an established suite who want to know what to ask before they sign again.
Who it is not for
Anyone who needs a single-purpose tool for one job and has no interest in the kitchen, floor or guest side.
The checklist: ask any vendor
The middle column is our answer. The right column is what to ask the other vendor. We do not fill it in for them.
| Question | Zorveta One | Other vendor |
|---|---|---|
| Is online ordering part of the same system or an add-on? | Part of the platform, on the same menu. | Varies: ask |
| Does the kitchen screen read from the same order engine? | Yes. KDS and printing use the one order engine. | Varies: ask |
| What works with no internet? | POS and handheld order entry keep going, and the store hub keeps kitchen screens and printing running. | Varies: ask |
| Who supports the router and printers? | Managed technology looks after devices, network and remote fixes. | Varies: ask |
| Is AI inside the order engine or bolted on? | Inside. Staff agents, the MCP server and chat ordering all use the same order engine. | Varies: ask |
| Can you leave with your menu and guest data? | Your menu and guest records are yours to take with you. | Varies: ask |
| What is the contract length and exit cost? | Fees are transparent. Contact us for pricing and terms. | Varies: ask |
| Who owns the hardware? | Buy your own equipment or we help you procure it. No high equipment cost. | Varies: ask |
| Can it handle several locations in one view? | A hierarchy of brand, group and location with one dashboard. | Varies: ask |
| Is there a public API? | A documented public API. | Varies: ask |
| Can you import your current menu? | We build your menu with you from your current one. | Varies: ask |
| How long has it run in real restaurants? | A newer platform. Ask for a demo on your own menu and a reference when one is available. | Varies: ask |

Questions owners ask
Is this a feature-by-feature comparison?
No. It is a checklist of what to ask any vendor, with our own answers marked by status.
Why do you not name other products?
Because we will not make claims about products we have not verified. The questions work for any vendor.
How do I know a feature will work for me?
Ask to see it in a demo on your own menu.
Can I run both in parallel?
A parallel run is a question for the demo; it is not promised here.
See it on your own menu.
