Our verdict: Popina
Best for cafes, bars, and restaurants in France who want a French iPad register certified under VAT anti-fraud law (NF525) and plugged into a rich accounting and operations ecosystem, without custom development. There is little reason to consider Popina from outside France. Not for you if you need an open API for in-house development, or if you refuse to go through a sales meeting to learn the price.
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.
We look at what you actually need and tell you which one to set up (or a third that fits better).
