Is Food&Service an alternative to tSpoonLab?

Yes, if you want to track the cost of your dishes, your stock and supplier invoices without paying for a program separate from the POS. Both offer recipe costing that updates with purchases, inventories from your phone and AI reading of delivery notes. The difference is that tSpoonLab works alongside the POS you already use, while Food&Service is the POS, with all of that inside. If you run a production kitchen, a catering business or a hotel, tSpoonLab has features and plans designed for that.

Do I need a POS as well as tSpoonLab?

Yes. Its help centre says tSpoonLab doesn't have a POS module: it brings in the sales of the POS you use, through an integration your adviser activates or a CSV file sent over SFTP. Food&Service is the POS: floor, handheld ordering, kitchen display, QR menu, orders and bookings, with inventory, expenses with AI and time tracking in the same program.

How much does Food&Service cost compared with tSpoonLab?

tSpoonLab publishes monthly pricing by sector on its website, with a plan for tspoonBack, another for tspoonFast and a tailored Enterprise option, and its subscription comes on top of your POS. Food&Service has one plan tailored to your venue, with no minimum term, and we give you the final price in the demo, free and with no commitment. To compare properly, add up what you pay today for the POS and for kitchen management.

Does stock go down on its own with every sale?

In Food&Service, yes: as soon as the order is recorded or the ticket goes to the kitchen, each dish with a costing deducts its ingredients, Glovo and Uber Eats orders included. If you turn it on, when a product runs out the dish is withdrawn on its own from the POS, the QR menu and delivery orders. In tSpoonLab, stock is deducted with the sales from the integrated POS, once each sales item is linked to its product or costing, according to its help centre.

Does Food&Service read delivery notes with AI too?

Yes. You take a photo of the delivery note or invoice, upload it as a PDF, or forward it by email or by WhatsApp from an authorised phone; the AI extracts the supplier, number, date and each line with its quantity, price and VAT, and nothing counts until you approve it. Once approved, each product enters the inventory and the cost of your dishes updates. In tSpoonLab, AI recognition of delivery notes is included in accounts with tspoonFast Pro, according to its help centre.

What if I run a production kitchen or a hotel?

tSpoonLab has plans for hotels and for production kitchens and catering, with weekly production planning, events, HACCP, batches and labelling, according to its website. Food&Service is a hospitality POS: it brings together the floor, kitchen, orders, bookings, stock and expenses of your venue in one program. If your work is mostly producing for other venues or for events, take time to compare what you need from each one.

How do I switch from tSpoonLab 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, train your team and leave VeriFactu or TicketBAI ready. 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. Before cancelling tSpoonLab, remember that its FAQ asks for one month's notice, and check your current POS contract too.

tSpoonLab and Food&Service, point by point

What each one does, according to what it publishes. The tSpoonLab 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	tSpoonLab
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.	Cloud software for running the kitchens of restaurant groups, hotels and production kitchens: the tspoonBack web app, the tspoonFast app and a personal adviser, according to its website.¹²³⁴
How you pay	One plan tailored to your venue, with no minimum term. We give you the final price in the demo.	Monthly subscription, with pricing by sector published on its website: a tspoonBack plan, a tspoonFast plan and a tailored Enterprise option. No minimum term: it asks for one month's notice to cancel.²⁵
Recipe costing	Recipe costing by dish and by portion size: the cost comes from the average of what you pay your suppliers and recalculates itself when you approve each purchase.	Technical sheets and costings for intermediate and final preparations. When a product's price changes, it recalculates the cost of the preparations that use it, with six ways to calculate that price.⁶⁷
Sales and stock	In the same program: as soon as the order is recorded or the ticket goes to the kitchen, each dish with a costing deducts its ingredients, Glovo and Uber Eats orders included.	It brings in the sales of the POS you use: your adviser activates the integration for your till system, or the POS sends a CSV file over SFTP. To deduct stock, each sales item is linked to its product or costing.⁸⁹
Inventories	Counting on your phone, by area, in boxes or in kilos: when you close it you see what's missing or left over and what is waste. A daily stock summary by email.	Warehouses with locations and transfers, theoretical versus actual inventory, and inventories from the app, including dictating quantities by voice.⁶¹⁰
Purchasing and suppliers	Purchases enter the inventory when you approve the delivery note or invoice in Expenses, and each product's page shows which supplier works out best. What you buy without paperwork you record from its page.	Orders to suppliers by WhatsApp or email, also by voice with AI from the app, supplier price lists and alerts for price rises and drops.⁶¹¹
Delivery notes and supplier invoices	Expenses with AI: you take a photo of the invoice, the AI reads it, matches it with the delivery note and the cost of your dishes updates.	AI recognition of delivery notes, included in accounts with tspoonFast Pro; matching of delivery notes with invoices, and an email inbox per cost centre to receive invoices.¹²¹³¹⁴
POS, floor and kitchen	It is the POS: floor with a table plan, handheld ordering on any phone, kitchen display, QR menu, orders and bookings, in the same program.	Its help centre says tSpoonLab doesn't have a POS module. It connects with the POS systems in its Marketplace, including Revo, Lightspeed, Last.app and Hiopos.⁸¹⁵
Team	Time tracking in the same POS: each person clocks in with their PIN and you download the working-hours record as a PDF or CSV.	Staff management: schedules, employee profiles, contract types and categories, according to its features page.⁶
Several venues	Each venue with its own account and its cash-up report by email. We set up the multi-venue dashboard with you.	It analyses each venue separately or the whole group together. New users and cost centres are set up through your adviser.²⁵
Where it runs	Runs in the browser of any tablet, computer or phone, and with the Android app. To print, a thermal printer connected to a computer in the venue.	In the browser on a computer and with its iOS and Android app on a phone or tablet.⁵
Support	Every day from 9:00 to 24:00, by phone and WhatsApp. Setup is guided and remote.	An adviser assigned to each account and chat support. Free online training at tSpoonAcademy, and onboarding packages when you subscribe.⁵²¹⁶

How they differ

A separate program or inside the POStSpoonLab works alongside the POS you already have: its help centre says it doesn't have a POS module. In Food&Service, inventory with recipe costing, expenses with AI and time tracking are inside the POS you take payments with, so you don't pay for one more program.

Production kitchen or a venue that sellstSpoonLab has plans for restaurant groups, hotels and production kitchens, with weekly production planning, events, HACCP and labelling.

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
