How Grace stacks up against the alternatives.
Independent UK hospitality has more software options than ever — and most of them weren't built for it. Here's how Grace compares to the ones operators most often ask about.
All-in-one POS and payments
Grace vs Square
Square's strength is being everywhere — free entry tier, broad hardware ecosystem, a global brand. For market stalls, food trucks, coffee shops doing counter service, it's a perfectly reasonable choice.

Grace vs OpenTable
OpenTable's pitch is the network — the millions of diners on their app and website who might find your restaurant. That's a real product, and for venues that rely on discovery from the network, it earns its keep.
Compare in detailCard reader and light POS
Grace vs SumUp
SumUp earned its place by making card acceptance cheap and simple — a £25 reader, a flat 1. 69% per tap, no contract, no monthly fee.
Compare in detailEstablished UK till software
Grace vs ICRTouch
ICRTouch (TouchPoint and its family of modules) is one of the most established EPOS systems in UK hospitality — 150,000+ installs, two decades of refinement, rock-solid offline. It is sold and supported through a network of local partners, and you build your setup module by module: TouchPoint for the till, TouchOffice for the back office, PocketTouch and ByTable for ordering, TouchLoyalty for loyalty, the built-in diary for reservations.
Compare in detailThree reasons operators choose Grace.
Native, not stitched.
One platform built end-to-end, not stitched from acquired parts. Native iPad EPOS, reservations, CRM, marketing, loyalty, WiFi and AI — one record per guest across all of them.
- Native iPad EPOS with audit trail and accrual accounting
- Reservations, CRM, marketing and loyalty in the same guest record
- WiFi captive portal ties walk-ins to known guests
- Grace AI across every module, not bolted on
Operator-built, not investor-built.
Grace is built by people who run independent venues. Every feature has to survive a Friday-night service, not a board meeting.
- Founder runs an independent restaurant in Middlesbrough
- Every feature earns its place during real service
- No feature ships if it can't survive a real floor
- Built by an operator, not by an investor
