Lavu
#7 in Restaurant POS · Rated 4.0
Mobile-first iPad POS with dual pricing and global reach
Lavu is a cloud-based, iPad-centric POS designed for restaurants and bars, with a long history as one of the earliest iPad-based POS options. It emphasizes dual pricing (cash and card), manageable menu configurations, real-time reporting, and broad global support. Lavu’s international footprint spans many markets, making it appealing to multi-country operators seeking a familiar UI and reliable service. The price point is attractively low for single-location shops and scales with add-ons such as online ordering, loyalty, and payments. Lavu differentiates itself with its early entry, broad language support, and large global install base, though it remains smaller than the top-tier enterprise systems.
