Why Restaurants Switch from Toast POS to Tilvo
Toast excels at physical register hardware, but its online ordering, marketing, and loyalty add-ons quickly escalate into hundreds in monthly fees. Tilvo gives you modern digital growth at a fraction of the cost.

The Tilvo Difference
Technology Built for Operating Margins
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.
