The short answer
Decide around your actual service
Choose a POS around your actual service: sales channels, variants, payment, preparation and closing. Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same scenario, verify the compliance evidence relevant to your situation and compare the full cost, including hardware and support.

Start with your ordering workflows
Describe a dine-in order, a takeaway order and a web order if that channel is relevant. Include a variant, a promotion, a customer association and a split payment. Ask a staff member to complete the scenario: a convincing interface must remain understandable in your service context.
Then identify what the kitchen needs to receive and what customers need to see at collection. A standalone POS may suit a simple operation; several channels or locations make consistent catalogs, statuses and reporting more important.
Assess cost and dependencies
Compare subscription, hardware, installation, training, maintenance and any payment or integration charges. Ask what happens when you add a terminal or restaurant. Do not compare only the advertised price of a device.
Check data export arrangements, support, connectivity requirements and incident procedures. Ask for written clarification of available features versus the roadmap. An offline mode described as a target should not be counted as an available capability.
Compliance: verify evidence for the proposed version
In France, obligations depend on your circumstances and the system scope. The French tax authority’s update of 25 March 2026 confirms that an individual publisher attestation can again provide evidence of the conditions under Article 286 of the tax code, as an alternative to certification by an accredited body. Read the official source below and confirm your situation with your adviser.
Distinguish an NF525 target, compliance evidence and an acquired certification. NF525 compliance remains a target for BeezPOS: this website claims neither an acquired certificate nor an available attestation. Request the documents for the product and version before contracting.
Mistakes to avoid
Buying before testing your own menu; treating each channel as an unrelated tool; overlooking training for replacement staff; expanding across a network without a pilot. Define observable acceptance criteria: orders understood in the kitchen, correctly handled payments, suitable access rights and usable reporting.
Where Beez360 fits
BeezPOS and BeezBO form Starter. Growth adds BeezC&C, BeezKitchen and BeezDisplay to connect digital ordering, preparation and customer information. A demo should test this scope using your own scenarios. Hardware, payment and support arrangements need to be established in the proposal.
