SumUp is a payment service provider focused on mobile card terminals and simple POS solutions. The company targets small businesses and offers card payments, a basic POS system, and recently a simple online ordering system. However, for restaurants with delivery service, their own app, or a complex menu, the key features are missing. GastroSystem was built specifically for the restaurant industry: ordering system, POS, driver management, and own app in one solution.
