Restaurant POS prices in Turkey 2026: working out the real monthly cost
"How much will I pay a month?" is every owner's first question. But the number on a price list says little on its own. Setup fees, commitment periods, per-branch surcharges, add-on modules and hardware make up the total; two systems can have the same monthly fee and very different yearly costs.
This post covers what to look at when comparing POS prices. Market prices move fast, so we don't quote numbers here; ari adisyon's current prices are always live on the pricing page.
How are plans usually split?
Most POS systems split plans along three lines: number of branches, limits on users/tables/items, and modules (stock, bookkeeping, reports, multi-branch). ari adisyon's plans are split like this:
- Basic: A single branch, 3 staff, 10 tables, 50 products. Core POS and QR menu.
- Standard: Unlimited users, tables and items; bookkeeping, stock management, advanced reports and online payments. Single branch.
- Enterprise: Multiple branches, HR and time tracking, API access and the Yemeksepeti integration. Extra branches are charged per branch.
Plans grow with you; upgrading doesn't move your data, it stays where it is.
6 questions to ask when comparing prices
1. Is there a setup fee?
Cloud systems shouldn't charge a setup fee. Help with entering the menu and connecting printers is part of a good provider's service. ari adisyon has no setup fee.
2. Is there a commitment?
A 12- or 24-month commitment means paying even if you don't like the system. A model where you pay monthly and can cancel any time forces the provider to keep you happy.
3. How big is the annual discount?
Paying yearly is usually discounted. Ask whether the discount is permanent or a first-year promotion. In ari adisyon each plan's yearly price sits next to its monthly price on the pricing page.
4. How are branches charged?
Know up front what happens when you open a second branch. Some systems require a separate subscription per branch; in others extra branches are added at a lower rate.
5. Which modules cost extra?
Are stock, bookkeeping, reports or delivery integrations sold separately? Check which plan includes the modules you'll need tomorrow, even if you don't need them today.
6. Does the till lock if a payment is late?
It doesn't look like a price question, but it is: a venue whose till locks loses that evening's revenue. In ari adisyon a failed payment triggers an email and a grace period, during which taking orders, the QR menu and printing tickets keep working. If the grace period runs out too, the subscription is paused; nothing is deleted, and paying picks up where you left off.

Hardware costs
Alongside the software subscription, hardware is a separate line: a computer or tablet for the till, thermal printers and a cash drawer. A system that isn't tied to a brand lets you buy printers wherever you like, which lowers hardware cost. We cover which features you need in the thermal printer buying checklist.
How to work out the total cost
- Work out the annual subscription (monthly × 12 or the yearly price).
- Add any setup and training fees.
- Add the modules and branches you'll need.
- Add hardware.
- If there's a commitment, consider what you'd pay if you're not happy with the system.
The right comparison is on total cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free trial?
Yes, ari adisyon can be tried free for 14 days, with no credit card required.
Will I lose data if I change plans?
No. Upgrading unlocks new modules; your menu, bill history and reports stay where they are.
Are e-invoice and e-archive included?
E-invoice and e-archive require working with an integrator and are usually charged separately. Ask us for the current status.
Conclusion
When comparing POS prices, look at the total cost over a year and the contract terms, not the monthly number. A system with no setup fee and no commitment, which doesn't lock the till the moment a payment is late, is worth more than a few hundred lira of difference on paper.
