GastroSystem vs. DISH POS
DISH POS is a POS system operated by Metro AG for the restaurant industry. GastroSystem delivers both POS and ordering system in one — without platform lock-in, without commission.
DISH POS is a POS system by DISH Digital Solutions, a subsidiary of Metro AG. It targets small and medium-sized hospitality businesses in German-speaking markets, offering POS functions, TSE integration, and connectivity to the DISH ecosystem. A fully independent ordering system with customisable branding and driver management is not part of its core offering.
Our verdict
DISH POS is a solid POS system backed by Metro AG — a reliable provider with a broad support network. However, operators looking for an independent online ordering system with customisable branding, driver management, and full customer data access will find a significantly more complete solution with GastroSystem at a flat monthly price.
