FloPOS software
$0 license fee. Download the code, review releases, and run the software under the MIT license.
Pricing
Free software. Real deployment planning.
FloPOS has no software license fee, but a restaurant POS still needs reliable hardware, tested printers, staff training, backups, and someone responsible for setup and updates.

Budget honestly
Free POS software does not mean zero operating cost.
The software license can be free while the deployment still requires practical restaurant infrastructure.
Hardware
POS terminals, receipt printers, kitchen printers or screens, cash drawers, scanners, and network equipment are separate costs.
Operations
Plan time for installation, staff training, backups, updates, printer testing, and troubleshooting during real service.
Who benefits most
Best for teams that value ownership over convenience.
FloPOS is a strong fit when you want open-source code, local control, and the ability to adapt the system. A managed commercial POS may still be better if you need vendor onboarding, integrated payments, guaranteed support, or a full hardware bundle.

FAQ
Common questions
Is FloPOS really free?
Yes. FloPOS is released under the MIT license, so there is no software license fee for using the open-source project.
What costs should I still plan for?
Plan for POS hardware, receipt printers, kitchen screens, networking, setup time, staff training, backups, and any paid technical help you choose to use.
Is there a paid hosted plan?
This page does not claim a hosted paid plan. FloPOS should be evaluated as open-source software unless an official hosted service is announced separately.
