A Tipsi alternative: bookings and delivery, inside the POS.
Tipsi is a hospitality POS born from joining Miss Tipsi and Foodyt, with its Tipsi Go handheld that takes payments, a QR menu, bookings with Tipsi Book and support 20 hours a day, according to its website. Food&Service brings the floor, the kitchen, bookings on the floor plan, Glovo and Uber Eats orders, stock with recipe costing and expenses with AI into the same POS. Here are the differences, with the source of every fact.

In short
- Both are hospitality POS systems with handheld ordering, a QR menu with ordering and payment at the table, their own online orders, recipe costing, staff clock-in, VeriFactu and TicketBAI.
- Tipsi bookings go in Tipsi Book, a module that, according to its FAQ, “is not yet connected to the POS service”. With Food&Service, bookings land on their table in the POS floor plan, and when guests are seated their bill is linked to their booking.
- Tipsi receives Uber Eats, Glovo and Just Eat orders through Deliverect, which is “contracted separately” from its licence. Food&Service connects Glovo and Uber Eats directly to the POS, with no other tool in between.
- Tipsi's price is a tailored proposal that depends on the number of venues and stations, the modules and the hardware. Food&Service is one plan tailored to your venue, with the POS and handheld ordering on every device you need, for the same fee.

Questions about Tipsi and Food&Service.
Another question? Write to us
Is Food&Service an alternative to Tipsi?
Yes. Both are hospitality POS systems with handheld ordering, a QR menu with ordering and payment at the table, online orders, recipe costing, staff clock-in, VeriFactu and TicketBAI. The difference is what goes inside the POS: in Food&Service, bookings on the floor plan, Glovo and Uber Eats orders and expenses with AI. In Tipsi, bookings go in Tipsi Book, which according to its FAQ is not yet connected to the POS, and delivery platforms come in through Deliverect.
How much does Food&Service cost compared with Tipsi?
Tipsi prepares a tailored proposal in the demo and says the cost depends on the number of venues and stations, the modules you need and the hardware. Food&Service has one plan tailored to your venue, and we give you the final price in the demo, free and with no commitment. To compare properly, also add what is contracted separately, such as Deliverect for delivery or a CoverManager plan to seat bookings in the POS.
Do Tipsi Book bookings go into the POS?
According to Tipsi's FAQ, not for now: Tipsi Book is a standalone module accessed from the management website and “is not yet connected to the POS service”. To seat bookings in its POS, Tipsi integrates with CoverManager, which requires a plan contracted with CoverManager. With Food&Service, online and phone bookings land on their table in the plan, in the same POS you take payments with.
How do Glovo and Uber Eats orders come in?
With Tipsi, through Deliverect: its website says it connects with Uber Eats, Glovo and Just Eat via Deliverect, an independent service “contracted separately from your Tipsi licence”. With Food&Service, Glovo and Uber Eats are connected directly to the POS: orders come into the Orders screen, are accepted by hand or automatically and go to the kitchen.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Tipsi says on its website that its POS is hybrid, local and in the cloud: if the internet goes down, it keeps working locally and syncs the data when it comes back. Food&Service needs internet: it works on the venue's wifi or on mobile data, and handheld ordering doesn't need to be on the same network as the printers.
Do both comply with VeriFactu and TicketBAI?
Both say they are adapted to VeriFactu, and Tipsi's website refers to its responsible statement. For TicketBAI, Tipsi says it is guarantor software, and Food&Service sends invoices through TicketBAI for Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa. Spain's tax authorities don't approve software: each manufacturer signs a responsible statement, and the Food&Service one is published on our website. VeriFactu is postponed to October 2028: Spain's Ministry of Finance announced it on 5 October 2026 and it still has to be published in the BOE, Spain's official gazette; until then, the legal dates are 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for everyone else.
How do I switch from Tipsi to Food&Service?
In the demo we look at how you work and give you the price. Then setup is guided and remote: we configure the menu, tables, printers and users with you, and train your team. Before cancelling Tipsi, check your contract and see which hardware you can keep using: Food&Service runs in the browser of tablets, computers and phones.

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.
