Cheetah

The beautiful, zero-fee alternative to Toast POS

Toast is built for high-margin US restaurants, charging heavy subscriptions ($75-$165/mo) and proprietary hardware markups. Cheetah is optimized for African grocers and 100% free.

Tailored features for smart operators

Explore how Cheetah delivers unmatched operational advantages compared to standard retail tools.

100% Free Retail vs Restaurant Taxes

Toast demands expensive custom registers and monthly subscription packages. Cheetah runs on any Android or iOS device for free.

Grocery & Scales vs Food Service Only

Toast lacks weight scale integrations, randomized bins tare-weights, case splits, and multi-vendor wholesale purchase routing.

Local Offline Cashout vs Cloud Lock-In

Toast POS fails or locks features if internet is disconnected. Cheetah POS handles full weighing and checkouts completely offline.
