Vaansa vs Epos Now

Epos Now covers the basics. Vaansa covers the books.

Epos Now is widely available and affordable — but stops short of the financial layer that owners actually need.

The gap Epos Now leaves open

Epos Now is a general-purpose POS available in many markets, including the UK and internationally. But its restaurant-specific depth is limited. There is no recipe-driven COGS, no P&L dashboard, no shift reconciliation, and no inventory purchasing module. It works for simple operations; it breaks down when owners want real answers.

Vaansa vs Epos Now — FAQ

What is the difference between Vaansa and Epos Now?
Epos Now is a general-purpose POS available in many markets, including the UK and internationally. But its restaurant-specific depth is limited. There is no recipe-driven COGS, no P&L dashboard, no shift reconciliation, and no inventory purchasing module. It works for simple operations; it breaks down when owners want real answers.
Does Epos Now show a real P&L or profit per dish?
No. Compared with Vaansa, Epos Now lacks real p&l dashboard, recipe-level margin per dish, shift close & cash reconciliation. Vaansa assembles a real profit-and-loss statement from sales, recipe-level COGS, labour and expenses — so you see what you actually keep, not just what sold.
