Our verdict: Lightspeed Restaurant
Best for structured restaurants and multi-location groups in France who want a POS certified by an accredited third party and a broad ecosystem of integrations, from reservation to accounting; outside France, the same product without the certification argument. Not for you if you are opening a small establishment on a tight budget: EUR 89/month for a single license, plus EUR 49/month per additional terminal and a card commission on top, remains expensive against equivalent French offers.
Our verdict: Zelty
Best for French quick-service restaurant chains and multi-location networks who want an open, French-language POS capable of absorbing delivery orders without duplicate entry. From outside France it makes little sense: the product, the partners, and the compliance angle all target establishments trading in France. Not for you if you want to compare prices before a sales meeting or if you demand to see the NF525 certificate published online: Zelty publishes neither one nor the other.
