How much does a restaurant POS cost in Spain? (2026)

If you ask three TPV vendors in Spain what a restaurant POS costs, you'll get three answers — and none of them will be a number. You'll get "depends on your needs", a demo, and a contract. This post is the number.

We build brasio, so we have a horse in this race. But the figures below are honest, including the ones that don't flatter us.

The three pricing models you'll meet

1. The legacy TPV bundle. A local dealer sells you a touchscreen terminal, a printer and a cash drawer with software pre-installed. Typical cost: €1,000–3,000 up front, plus a maintenance contract of €30–80/month. In 2026 most of these dealers also charge for a Veri*Factu module — often €200–500 as a one-off or a few euros extra per month. The hardware is usually proprietary, so when the terminal dies, you're back at the same dealer.

2. The cloud POS subscription. Software you run on tablets or PCs you buy yourself. Headline prices in Spain run roughly €50–200/month per venue depending on the brand — and the headline rarely includes everything. Kitchen display screens, reservations, advanced reporting and loyalty are commonly sold as separate modules at €10–50/month each. Read the modules page before you compare headline prices.

3. The payments-led POS. "Free" or cheap software from a card-payments company, monetised through transaction fees on every card payment. Fine for a kiosk or a market stall; for a full restaurant the missing features (floor plan, kitchen flow, fiscal exports) tend to surface in month two.

What brasio costs

One number: €35/month per venue, IVA included, billed monthly — cancel any month. That price includes the till, table floor plan and tabs, kitchen printing and the kitchen display, product modifiers, reservations with email confirmations, inventory with waste and stocktakes, loyalty and gift vouchers, Z reports with SII XML export, and Veri*Factu with real-time submission to the AEAT. There are no per-terminal fees, no modules and no commission on your sales.

Every venue starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required. Full details on the pricing page.

The hardware bill nobody itemises

Here is where we stay honest: software is not the whole cost. brasio runs in the browser on standard hardware, which keeps this bill low — but it is not zero. For a typical single-till venue:

• Tablet or mini-PC for the till — €150–400. Any reasonably modern Android or Windows device works.
• Epson ESC/POS thermal printer (receipts and kitchen tickets, e.g. the TM-T20 family) — €150–250 each. A separate kitchen printer doubles this.
• Cash drawer (printer-driven) — €40–100.
• SumUp card reader — roughly €40–140 one-off depending on the model, plus SumUp's per-transaction fee. No monthly terminal rental.
• Decent Wi-Fi, ideally with a 4G backup router — €0–150. VeriFactu submits receipts to the AEAT in real time, so a connection isn't optional for fiscal tickets. That's true of any real-time VeriFactu POS, not just ours.

Realistic one-off total: €400–800 for one till and one kitchen printer — equipment you own outright and can replace from any electronics shop. Compare that with a leased proprietary terminal at €30–60/month forever.

The hidden costs to ask about

Whatever system you're considering, ask these four questions before signing:

1. Is Veri*Factu included, or a paid module? From 2026 this isn't optional for most venues — see the 2026 deadlines explained.
2. What's the contract term? 12–48 month lock-ins are still common in Spain. brasio is monthly.
3. What do the modules cost? Price the system as you'll actually use it: KDS + reservations + reporting, not the bare headline.
4. Who owns the hardware? If the answer is "us, you lease it", multiply the monthly fee by five years.

The bottom line

A fair 2026 budget for a single-till restaurant POS in Spain:

• brasio: €35/month + ~€400–800 hardware once.
• Typical cloud POS: €80–250/month once modules are added, + similar hardware.
• Legacy TPV bundle: €1,000–3,000 up front + €30–80/month maintenance + Veri*Factu module.
