A Last.app alternative: recipe costing and unlimited licences.
Last.app is a restaurant POS installed as an app on Windows, Android or iPad, with plans published per venue and a number of licences set by each plan. Food&Service brings the POS, recipe costing and supplier invoices read by AI together in one program, in the browser of any device and with no licence limit. These are the differences, with the source of each fact.

Last.app and Food&Service, point by point
What each one does, according to what it publishes. The Last.app data comes from its website and help centre, with the number of each source; the Food&Service data is what our POS does today.
| What we compare | Food&Service | Last.app |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | All-in-one cloud POS for hospitality: floor, handheld ordering, kitchen, QR menu, orders, bookings, stock, expenses and invoicing in one program. | A POS for restaurants, bars, cafés, delivery and dark kitchens that runs on Windows, Android and iOS.

| Minimum term | No minimum term: if you cancel, it takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for. | Monthly payment has no minimum term: you cancel before the 5th to avoid paying the following month. The yearly plan is billed in advance and renews automatically unless you cancel before its last month ends.23 |
| Devices per venue | No limit: the POS and handheld ordering on every phone, tablet and computer you need, for the same fee. | POS licences per venue, depending on the plan: two on Starter, four on Growth and unlimited on Unlimited.

Each Last.app fact carries the number of its source, listed under «How we made this comparison».
What they share
- They are POS systems for restaurants and bars: floor plan, split bills, payments, cash register and a dashboard to run the business.
- Handheld ordering on each waiter's phone and a kitchen display by station, on tablets or in the browser.
- QR menu to order and pay from the table, and your own online shop for collection and delivery.
- Glovo and Uber Eats orders connected directly to the POS, with no other tool in between.
- Bookings in the same POS that appear on the floor plan, staff clock-in with a PIN and a loyalty programme.
- AI inside the program that translates the menu and answers questions, and VeriFactu, with TicketBAI in the Basque Country.
- Support every day by phone and WhatsApp: Last.app's from 9:00 to 00:30 and also by email; Food&Service's from 9:00 to 24:00. And both can be taken with no minimum term: Last.app, on its monthly payment.
How they differ
- Licences by plan or no limitIn Last.app, each venue gets a number of POS licences depending on the plan: two, four or unlimited, and its website asks you to count each till, bar or tablet that uses the POS at the same time. In Food&Service there is no limit: the POS and handheld ordering work on every device you need, for the same fee.
- Compatible hardware or any browserThe Last.app app runs on 64-bit Windows computers, Android tablets with Google Play and iPad, and its help centre says it isn't compatible with Mac computers or Chrome tablets. Food&Service runs in the browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari) of any tablet, computer or phone, and with the Android app.
- Sales stock or recipe costingLast.app's stock counts the units for sale and hides the product when it runs out; its website makes clear that it is not a recipe or recipe-costing manager, and for inventory it connects with Gstock. Food&Service has inventory with recipe costing: each sale deducts the ingredients and you see what each dish costs you and what it leaves you.
- Invoices with Haddock or with the POS AIIn Last.app, invoices and delivery notes are digitised through the Haddock integration, a separate platform. In Food&Service, the AI reads your invoices and delivery notes inside the same POS, matches them with each other and updates the cost of your dishes.
Which one fits you?
Last.app may suit you if…
- You receive Just Eat orders as well as Glovo and Uber Eats ones: its integrator connects all three platforms to the POS.
- You run virtual brands or a dark kitchen: its delivery integrator lets you launch virtual brands from the same kitchen.

Estoy encantado con la aplicación y con la atención que he recibido, me han ayudado en todo momento y con una rapidez increíble a mis dudas. Por el momento muy muy recomendable
Enrique Ros
sin duda en mis veinticinco años de hostelería es el mejor programa que he usado que yo recuerde... como cocinero es genial poder tener las comandas en mi tablet a tiempo real.... ya que a la velocidad que el camarero coge la comanda yo veo en la tablet lo que tengo que elaborar... y poquito a poco el sistema de almacén y escandallo es genial.. y no cabe duda y lo más importante el servicio técnico de apoyo 24 horas que son súper amables y atentos
Wabi-Sabi Cuina Japonesa
O atendimento foi excelente desde o início: comercial explica bem os itens inclusos no plano escolhido e depois com a equipe de suporte, no nosso caso foi o Eugenio que nos atendeu, foram rápidos e profissionais. Tudo que temos de duvida ele nos orienta rapidamente e a aplicação é simples e intuitiva de trabalhar.
