Zelty

Zelty is a French POS editor for restaurants, active since 2015. Its iPad POS centralizes in a single screen the in-store order, online click-and-collect order, orders from delivery platforms, payments, stock, and real-time performance tracking. The tool targets quick-service restaurants, bakeries, bars, dark kitchens, and multi-location and franchise networks, with centralized control of multiple locations from a single interface. Zelty announces a no-lock-in offer. However, no pricing is published: the site has no pricing page and systematically directs to a demo or the sales team. The quote depends on the number of terminals, activated modules, and establishment format, and it covers the software alone: card acceptance goes through a payment provider that bills its own commission on each transaction.

The product, site, help center, and support are entirely in French, which matters for a floor team, and Zelty sells essentially to establishments trading in France: from outside the country there is little reason to look at it: ecosystem, support, and compliance all follow French practice. Zelty highlights its platform openness: over 80 partner tools are integrated through a marketplace accessible from the admin account, and the editor gives third-party integrators and editors access to its APIs. Documented connectors cover Deliveroo and Uber Eats for delivery, Apple is cited as a hardware partner from the start, and Zelty appears on the official list of POS systems compatible with Zettle by PayPal. Major point of caution: Zelty discusses LNE and NF525 certification, the French VAT anti-fraud approval required of any register used at retail in France, on its blog, but publishes neither a certificate number nor a downloadable attestation on its commercial site. Demand that document in writing before signing: without it, compliance cannot be proved in a tax audit. The complete absence of public pricing also complicates any comparison.
