Free POS. Seriously.
No hidden fees. No contracts. Hardware included for eligible restaurants.
Two ways to start, both free. Replace your POS with Ginger, or keep the POS you have and let Ginger take just the online orders. AI phone ordering and delivery-app integration are paid add-ons on either.

No POS switch
Ginger Direct
Keep the POS and printers you run today — we just take your online orders
$0/month
For restaurants happy with their current POS that want their own online ordering instead of paying a marketplace.
- Your own branded ordering website, built by us
- One Ginger Box and one iPad included
- Orders print to the printers you already own — we share them with your current POS, no integration and no new wiring
- Customer pays on your site; every ticket that prints is already paid
- Nothing re-keyed, and no integration with your POS — its age does not matter
- Full reporting on the online channel: itemised, daily and custom ranges, by hour, card vs cash
- $1 per order, paid by the customer — 5% for high-volume small-ticket shops
- No monthly fee, no contract
Add-on to either plan
