Look beyond the feature list. Consider how your tools work together for your team and your guests.
Your Own App on the App Store
Toast forces your regulars into the generic Toast Takeout app where your competitors are just a tap away. Tilvo publishes a custom, standalone mobile app under your restaurant's name.
Zero Proprietary Hardware Lock-In
Use standard iPads, Android tablets, or your existing kitchen screens. No expensive multi-thousand dollar proprietary terminal contracts.
Can Tilvo work together with our current Toast POS?
