Vendors / Mainstream commercial restaurant POS
Loyverse POS
The most honestly priced row in this batch and genuinely unusual in shipping a free first-party KDS, but it is a micro-merchant POS, not a restaurant OS: no online ordering, no delivery, no nested modifiers, flat multi-store, and its own API docs state the API cannot integrate with a payment system.

payments-gift-cards
Loyverse staff on the vendor's own community: 'Unfortunately, Loyverse POS does not have the functionality to deal with gift cards.' The documented workaround is to create a customer record per card ('Gift card 22'), print its customer code on the physical card and hand-load loyalty points (100 points = $1.00), which redeem as a discount rather than a tender — merchants in-thread flag the resulting sales-tax distortion. A second staff answer (moderator Georg, 2023-07-30) repeats 'It is not possible to create gift cards with Loyverse'. The Payments section of the help centre enumerates 16 articles — payment-type configuration, split payment, tips, refunds and eight card-acquirer integrations — and contains no gift-card or stored-value article. https://loyverse.town/topic/3836-how-can-i-use-gift-cards-with-the-system/ · retrieved 2026-08-04

labor-manager-override-audit
The override mechanism exists: 13 POS access rights (apply restricted discounts, change taxes in a sale, perform returns, void saved items in open tickets, open cash drawer without a sale, reprint and resend receipts, view cost of items...) and 15 back-office rights, and 'When an employee tries to access a function on the POS that they do not have access to, the PIN panel will be opened with the request to enter the PIN. After entering the PIN code of an employee who has access to the function, a one-time access is granted'. Shortfall: nothing records WHOSE PIN granted that one-time access. The receipts report stores items, taxes, discounts, payment method, POS device and employee, filterable by employee and CSV-exportable, but that employee is the operator, not the approver; the article never states the authorising manager is captured. The Reports catalogue (13 articles across sales, exports, stock notifications, dashboard, shift reports, customer history) contains no activity log or override audit. Attribution is per-sale only; approvals are unattributed and unqueryable. https://help.loyverse.com/help/how-manage-access-rights-employees · retrieved 2026-08-04

Inventory, purchasing & cost control
inventory-recipe-bom-costing
Advanced Inventory add-on covers purchase orders and inventory valuation; multi-level sub-recipe costing is not documented.
inventory-unit-conversion-yields
Purchase-unit vs sell-unit conversion is achievable but only as a modelling workaround, not as unit fields on the item. The vendor's own instruction is to create two items — a piece-level item ('Water, bottle 0.5L') and a second composite item ('Water, box 0.5L, 25p') with 'Use production' switched on, whose component is the piece item at quantity 25 — then purchase-order the box item and disassemble it into pieces. There is no purchase/recipe/count unit field with a conversion factor on a single item. Shortfall, and it is two-part: composite items take only a component and a Quantity (cost is derived from component cost x quantity), with no per-ingredient unit of measure; and no yield or waste percentage exists anywhere — conversion is assumed lossless, one box always yields exactly 25. Stock adjustment reasons are limited to Receive Items, Inventory Recount and Loss or Damaged, so raw-to-usable shrink can only be booked after the fact as a manual loss adjustment. https://help.loyverse.com/help/how-order-items-by-boxes · retrieved 2026-08-04

Per-channel fails outright — moderator Hanna (loyverse.town, 2023-09-09) answers a dine-in vs takeaway pricing request with 'make 2 items with different prices' sharing stock via a component, exactly the item duplication the claim wording excludes. Per-daypart also fails: a discount takes only name, type, value and restricted-access — no schedule field — and vendor forum staff confirm time-based (happy hour) application is manual per ticket. https://help.loyverse.com/help/how-create-and-manage-multiple · retrieved 2026-08-04

reliability-printer-fallback
Assessed 2026-08-04, unresolved. Read the whole Printers set in the help centre (help.loyverse.com/help/printers, 14 articles): Supported Printers, the six per-OS/per-transport setup articles, Sunmi built-in printers, Using Kitchen Printers with Loyverse POS, Set Up Kitchen Printer for Each Kitchen Station, Set Up Multiple Kitchen Stations to Share One Printer, Connect Kitchen Printer Bell. Kitchen routing is defined as printer groups with item categories ticked per group and one printer assigned per group in the POS app; a group can be shared by stations, but no article describes a secondary or backup printer for a group, automatic rerouting to another printer or to the KDS, retry behaviour, or a staff alert when a printer is unreachable. The one remedy documented is manual and after the fact — reopen the saved ticket and tap 'Reprint order', available for two hours after the ticket closes. Two candidate troubleshooting pages returned HTTP 404 to me on help.loyverse.com: /help/troubleshooting-when-setting-ethernet and /help/troubleshooting-when-working-with-kds, both listed in the section indexes; their content may settle this. The vendor forum thread on kitchen orders not printing (loyverse.town topic 6800) resolves to a misconfigured printer group and never reaches offline-printer behaviour. No vendor statement either way, so unknown rather than no.

Adversarial verification
An independent pass was instructed to refute this record, defaulting to downgrade when uncertain. It challenged 7 values — 3 upheld, 0 downgraded, 0 upgraded. This is published in full because a reader who can see which values were contested, on what evidence, and which way they moved has something no affiliate-funded comparison offers.
Capability claims

|---|---|---|---|
| payments-gift-cards | unknown / F / placeholder rationale, cell never examined | resolve-to-no | Not absence of evidence — two separate Loyverse staff answers on the vendor's own community state it outright ('Loyverse POS does not have the functionality to deal with gift cards'; moderator Georg, 2023-07-30: 'It is not possible to create gift cards with Loyverse'), and the sanctioned workaround is a customer record per card carrying hand-loaded loyalty points that redeem as a discount, not a tender. The help-centre Payments section enumerates 16 articles with no gift-card entry. Meets the positive-evidence-of-absence bar. source |
| labor-manager-override-audit | unknown / F / placeholder rationale, cell never examined | resolve-to-partial | Half the claim is documented and half is documented absent. The PIN-override flow is real and per-employee: a restricted function opens the PIN panel and a colleague's PIN grants one-time access. But no page states the authorising PIN is recorded. The receipts report carries the operating employee (filterable by employee, CSV export) — not the approver — and the Reports catalogue of 13 articles has no activity or audit log. Shortfall named: approvals are unattributed and unqueryable. source |
| inventory-unit-conversion-yields | unknown / F / placeholder rationale, cell never examined | resolve-to-partial | Loyverse's own article tells merchants to model a case as a separate composite item with 'Use production' on, containing the piece item at quantity 25, then purchase the case and disassemble it. That delivers purchase-to-sell conversion, so not no. But composite components take only component + Quantity, with no per-ingredient unit of measure and no yield or waste percentage — conversion is lossless by construction, and shrink can only be booked afterwards via the Loss or Damaged stock-adjustment reason. Named shortfall on both the unit-triple and the yield half. source |
| multi-location-price-zones | unknown / F / placeholder rationale, cell never examined | resolve-to-partial | One of the claim's three legs holds. Per location: the multi-store guide documents per-store price, in-stock quantity and low-stock alert on a single item record. Per channel: absent — moderator Hanna (2023-09-09) answers a dine-in vs takeaway pricing request with 'make 2 items with different prices' sharing stock via components, which is the item duplication the claim wording excludes. Per daypart: absent — the discount configuration article enumerates only name, type, value and restricted access, with no schedule, and forum staff confirm time-of-day discounts are applied manually per ticket. Shortfall named: no channel or daypart price tiers without duplicating the item record. source |
