Avocado

Avocado is a point of sale system for food trucks, cafes and restaurants, sold with the claim that Avocado AI powers order taking, reporting, team management, loyalty and marketing across the platform. The company's pitch is a modern POS that staff can learn with minimal training and that does not charge the operator monthly software or merchant fees. It targets small food trucks and coffee shops through to multi site restaurant groups, and the site features operators who switched from Clover and Square. The hardware and software set includes a POS workstation, a kitchen display system, handheld ordering devices, QR code mobile ordering for customers, and ticket printers connected over USB, Bluetooth, wireless or Ethernet. Customers receive order notifications by text, can pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and are prompted for feedback after the meal. Digital and physical gift cards and a loyalty program are built in. Avocado publishes no plan table or amounts. The site states that there are no monthly fees and no merchant fees regardless of business size, and directs operators to book a demo for a quote. The AI claims on the site are broad and not itemized, so buyers should ask specifically what Avocado AI does in order taking and reporting before relying on it.
