Brindola vs Loyverse
Loyverse is free and fits in a pocket. Brindola keeps the whole venue trading.
Loyverse is a free point-of-sale app for phones and tablets, with a back office in the browser and paid add-ons for employees, inventory and sales history. Brindola runs every screen in your venue on your own network, and the whole service keeps going when the internet does not.
In short
- With the line down, Brindola keeps refunds, guests, stock and every report working; Loyverse's own help page lists what stops.
- Terminals, kitchen screens and guest displays share orders over your own network; Loyverse shares open tickets only while every device is online.
- Your tickets and guests stay on a device in your venue, not in a vendor's back office.
- Loyverse is ahead on price and simplicity. It is free, runs on any phone with no computer, and has loyalty built in.

Why venues choose Brindola over Loyverse
The whole service runs without the internet
Orders, kitchen screens, refunds, guests, stock, the register close and the reports all run on a device in your venue. A dead line changes nothing about how the evening goes.
Built for a dining room, not just a counter
A floor plan drawn to your room, courses, split bills and tips, and kitchen screens that route each ticket to its station, with age timers and a pass view.
Every screen shares the same orders
Terminals, kitchen and bar screens, a pickup board and a kiosk talk to one main device over your own network. A screen that drops off lands its orders the moment it is back.
Your data stays in your building
Tickets, guests, tenders and margins live in one file on hardware you own. Only the day's totals leave, and only to a backoffice you connect.
Stock and supplier orders, not an add-on
Lots and expiry, stocktakes, named waste causes, supplier orders with partial deliveries, and dishes made in-house from their components. No charge per employee either.
Delivery and several brands on one kitchen screen
Bolt Food and Glovo orders land beside the dining room's, with more platforms coming soon, and each brand from one kitchen gets its own tab, catalog and revenue line.

What Loyverse has that Brindola doesn't
- A free plan
- The terminal app, the dashboard, the kitchen display and the customer display cost nothing; you pay only for the add-ons you pick. Brindola has a fourteen-day trial, not a free plan.
- No computer, and iPhone too
- Loyverse sells from an iPhone, iPad or Android phone straight from the app store. Brindola needs a computer as the main device, and its phone and tablet app is on Android.
- Loyalty built in
- Points earned on each purchase, spent as discounts, with loyalty cards scanned at the terminal.
- Card readers and reach
- Integrated card readers from SumUp, PayPal Zettle, Tyro, Shift4, Yoco and others, apps in 30+ languages, and businesses in 170 countries. Brindola works alongside your bank's own terminal.
- Transfers between stores
- Advanced Inventory moves stock between stores and counts it with a barcode scanner.
- A quick start, with 24/7 chat
- Download, sign in and sell. Every paid add-on comes with 24/7 priority chat support.
