Comparison

Classic till, or Duxa?

We will not bury the classic till. It works, and for some restaurants it is the right choice.

Here is the honest version. Where the classic approach is solid, we say so. Where Duxa changes the math, we show the numbers. You decide.

Where the classic till is solid

Three things a classic till does well

A POS that has been on counters for twenty years did not get there by accident. Three of its strengths are real.

  • It is yours, paid once

    You buy the device and own it. No monthly fee runs in the background. For a settled business that does not plan to change much, the math can be simpler.

  • It runs with no internet

    Old tills keep working when the line goes down, because they never needed it. That habit of reliability is worth respecting.

  • Everyone already knows it

    Your cashier learned the classic screen years ago. There is no training day, no new habit to build. Familiarity has a real value.

Side by side

Eight points, two approaches

Same eight questions, asked of both. No marketing words — just what each one actually does.

Hardware

Classic POSYou source and buy the device yourself, then you own and maintain it.
DuxaThe hardware comes with the monthly fee. We bring it, you run your restaurant.

Payment

Classic POSA one-time licence up front, often a few thousand euros before you start.
DuxaA monthly fee from 19 €/month. No large sum before you begin.

Languages

Classic POSUsually one language on screen; extra languages are a paid add-on if offered at all.
DuxaThe guest reads the menu in their own language. Many languages, built in.

Self-order

Classic POSBuilt around a cashier taking every order; self-service is rarely part of it.
DuxaThe Self-Order Kiosk (order screen) is at the centre. The guest picks, the till only collects payment.

Online menu

Classic POSA separate subscription, usually from a different vendor with its own bill.
DuxaA QR online menu is included. One panel feeds the screen, the kitchen and the till.

Updates

Classic POSOften a paid yearly package, or a technician visit for a new version.
DuxaUpdates arrive over the connection, included in the fee. No version to chase.

Support

Classic POSYou move through a chain — hardware seller, software vendor, local dealer.
DuxaOne party to talk to. The hardware, the software and the support are the same hand.

Getting started

Classic POSYou set it up yourself, or pay a technician, and build the menu by hand.
DuxaWe do the setup together. AI reads your existing menu and gets you started in minutes.

When the classic till makes more sense

Duxa is not for everyone

We would rather you choose well than choose us. Three cases where a classic till is the smarter call.

  • A single fixed counter

    One cashier, a short menu that never changes, no queue. A classic till covers that fine, and a monthly fee adds little.

  • You already paid for one

    If you bought a till last year and it does the job, there is no rush. Switch when the limit starts to hurt, not before.

  • No internet at all

    Our kiosk app runs offline, but the cloud sync needs a connection now and then. If your spot has no line at all, weigh that first.
