Best Restaurant POS in Spain 2026: An English Guide for Owners
Thousands of restaurants in Spain are run by foreign owners, and they all hit the same wall: the POS market here is dominated by Spanish products, the compliance layer is local (the Verifactu certified-invoicing rules treat a POS as invoicing software), and most comparison articles are in Spanish. This is the English guide to the four systems that matter (Last.app, Ágora, Revo and Square), with real prices, what each does best, and the compliance question you must ask every vendor before signing.

What a Spanish restaurant POS must cover in 2026
- Tableside ordering on handhelds, sent straight to kitchen printers or screens.
- Table and floor management you can see at a glance.
- Delivery integration (Glovo, Uber Eats, Just Eat), or you will live with a counter full of shrieking tablets (how to unify them).
- Verifactu compliance: Spain’s certified invoicing rules apply to POS systems; ask every vendor for their written declaration (the rules in plain English).
- Real reporting: sales by dish, hour and server, not just the till total.
- Offline mode: if the internet drops on a Saturday night, service cannot drop with it.
The 2026 comparison
| POS | Indicative price | Delivery built in | Hardware | English UI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last.app | ~€50-90/month per site | ✅ native, its origin | iPad/Android | ✅ good |

Indicative prices July 2026, before VAT. Budget €500-2,000 in startup hardware (tablets, cash drawer, printers) if starting from zero.
1. Last.app, born for the delivery era
A cloud POS built around delivery from day one: Glovo, Uber Eats and Just Eat flow straight into the ordering screen and kitchen, with one menu synced everywhere. Plus handheld ordering, kitchen display, QR table ordering and clean reports, with solid English available.
- For whom: any restaurant where delivery is over 15% of sales, and international teams generally: it is the most English-friendly of the Spanish natives.
2. Ágora, the traditional floor’s workhorse
The Spanish veteran, strongest at complex traditional service: multiple rooms and terraces, table merging, menu-of-the-day logic, recipe costing and stock, plus a network of local dealers who install and show up when things break on a Friday night.
- The trade-off for a foreign owner: the deepest floor management, but the most Spanish-centric product and support experience of the four. If your manager is Spanish-speaking, it shines; if not, factor in friction. The full head-to-head with Last.app is here.
3. Revo, the groups’ favorite
A polished iPad POS built for volume and multi-site: consolidated reporting across locations, fine-grained role permissions, a serious kitchen display and a strong integration ecosystem (reservations, delivery, accounting).
- For whom: groups with two or more sites, or single sites planning to become groups.
4. Square, the almost-free start
The US model landed in Spain: free or cheap software (€0-29/month) monetized through card processing (~1.4-2.5%). For a café, food truck or small counter-service spot, the lowest entry barrier there is, in native English.
- The math to watch: processing fees grow with your card volume; above roughly €10-15k/month in card sales, run the numbers against a fixed-fee POS.
Verdict by restaurant type
- Delivery-heavy or multi-channel modern spot: Last.app, and it doubles as the safest pick for a non-Spanish-speaking team.
- Traditional full-service restaurant with menu del día and stock control: Ágora, ideally with a good local dealer.
- Group or expansion plans: Revo.
- Café/food truck/starting small: Square, migrating to a vertical when volume demands.
- All of them: get the Verifactu declaration in writing, and price ALL the integrations you’ll use (delivery, reservations, accounting) into the comparison; that is where €30-100/month hides.
