Poster POS — in brief
Poster POS is a Ukrainian cloud register for small and mid-sized businesses: cafés, restaurants and shops. Strengths: a simple interface, quick start and a low entry barrier. Downsides: PRRO is billed separately (per receipt), and some features (KDS, table booking, advanced analytics) live on higher plans. Ideal for a single coffee shop or a small venue, but it can feel cramped as you grow.
iiko — in brief
iiko is a powerful restaurant platform for chains and large venues. Strengths: deep production accounting, chain management and detailed analytics. Downsides: high cost (from ~$70/mo), a complex rollout (2–4 weeks) with staff training and an integrator, partial Ukrainian localization, and Russian origin. It is overkill for a single coffee shop and only pays off for large businesses.
Skyservice POS — the golden mean
Between simple Poster and complex iiko there is a balanced option. Skyservice POS delivers enterprise-level functionality on its base plan for 387 ₴/mo: register, free PRRO, inventory, production, CRM, loyalty, delivery via Uklon and Glovo, KDS, table booking and analytics — all at once, with no add-on charges.
