Mobile POS vs Traditional POS for Restaurants

Traditional POS stays at the counter. Mobile POS walks with the staff. SpoonCub is the walking version, on a phone you already own.

The difference is where the order is typed. Traditional POS pulls every waiter back to a machine. Mobile POS types the order where the guest is.

Traditional POS

Fixed terminal, often a printer and a cash drawer.
Better when one cashier owns the bill.
Training and hardware are part of the cost.

Mobile POS

Phone or tablet on the floor.
SpoonCub uses the phone browser, saved to the home screen.
A device PIN matters because the phone is shared.

Which one to run

Use traditional POS for a cashier-led counter that already works. Use mobile when the walk back to the machine is why tickets go wrong.

Dhaba, cafe, bakery, or parcel only

The product does not care if you serve thali, espresso, or pav. It cares that staff take table tickets. Small Indian shops with seating are the audience.
