Toast alternative
Everything you run your restaurant on — POS, online ordering, kitchen, payments and loyalty — in one platform, with commission-free ordering and no multi-year contract.
Toast is a capable, restaurant-native system — but operators routinely look for an alternative over add-on pricing, processing fees and long contracts. Novaryq gives you the same end-to-end coverage in a single platform, keeps your online orders commission-free, and lets you start month-to-month.
Keep 100% of every online order and the guest relationship — no per-order cut.
POS, KDS, loyalty, inventory and payroll preparation on one platform — see the plan comparison for what each tier includes.
Start month-to-month and cancel anytime. Your data stays yours.
One menu, pricing and reporting engine across every location and brand.

The most common reasons operators cite are total cost (software tiers plus add-ons plus processing), hardware lock-in and contract length. Novaryq folds the whole stack into one predictable per-location price, runs online ordering commission-free, and keeps you on flexible month-to-month terms.
We help you import your menu, build your floor plan and train staff before cutover, so you go live without losing a service. Your terminals stay offline-first, so a network blip never stops a cash sale — card payments resume automatically on reconnect.
Pricing depends on your size and channels, but Novaryq includes capabilities that are often paid add-ons elsewhere and runs online ordering commission-free, which typically lowers total cost for busy, multi-channel restaurants. See our pricing page for transparent per-location plans.
Novaryq runs on standard hospitality-grade hardware. Talk to us about your current devices during onboarding and we will map a path that avoids unnecessary replacement.
No. Start month-to-month and cancel anytime — your data is yours to export. Enterprise plans add volume pricing and an SLA.
Yes — POS, online ordering, kitchen display, payments, loyalty, marketing, inventory and staff run on one platform with one login and one bill, so your core operations share the same menu, orders and reporting instead of living in separate tools.
