TouchBistro pricing in 2026
TouchBistro publishes two starting prices and little else. Point of Sale starts at $69 a month with hardware required; the Essentials Bundle starts at $119 a month with hardware included and integrated payments. Every add-on, from online ordering to reservations to the kitchen display, is priced by quote, and the page does not publish a payment processing rate or a contract length. Both prices carry the footnote that payment processing and additional fees apply.
