Vendor comparison pages that pretend the competitor has no advantages lose credibility instantly. Here's what Gastronovi actually does better.
Gastronovi is sales-quoted with module-based pricing. POS module typically €89–€149/mo. Reservations, online ordering, reporting, marketing modules each add €30–€100/mo. Annual contracts standard. Hardware €600–€1,500. Setup €500–€2,000 for full suite. Year-1 cost for full module suite at a single-location restaurant: typically €4,000–€8,000.
For most independents and small groups, yes substantially. Fleksa Bundle at €199/mo includes everything Gastronovi sells as 4–5 separate modules. By the time the Gastronovi quote stack hits comparable functionality, year-1 TCO is typically 50–70% higher than Fleksa.
Gastronovi is strongest for 25+ location DACH chains with deep ERP, inventory, and hotel-PMS integration needs. The enterprise modules and DACH-specific integrations are the real differentiator. For independents, the platform is overpriced for capability not used.
For independents and 1–10 location groups, Fleksa is the strongest like-for-like alternative — bundled pricing, hardware flexibility, DACH compliance. For DACH chains that need iPad-native UX, Orderbird is the closer peer. For very-large enterprise chains, Lightspeed or NCR Aloha enter the picture.
Yes, as a separate module. Gastronovi's online ordering charges per-order fees on top of the module subscription. Fleksa includes direct online ordering with 0% commission on direct orders as part of every plan.
Yes, Gastronovi has mature TSE compliance — battle-tested across thousands of DACH locations. Fleksa is also fully TSE-compliant with the same kind of cloud TSE module support. No advantage either direction on this dimension.
Typical 7–14 days plus scheduling around your annual Gastronovi contract end date. We start migration in parallel so you don't double-pay any longer than necessary.
Depends on the setup. Gastronovi-recommended proprietary terminals often can't be repurposed; standard PCs and tablets that ran Gastronovi web client can run Fleksa via web browser. Plan for either continuity (BYOD) or replacement (Sunmi terminals).
Common hotel PMS integrations are supported — Mews, Apaleo, Protel via partner connectors. For very-deep DACH-specific legacy hotel systems with custom EDI flows, Gastronovi has wider coverage. For mainstream hotel-restaurant operations, Fleksa covers the typical needs.
Gastronovi has stronger inventory and food cost analysis modules than Fleksa for enterprise multi-location operations. For independent restaurants, Fleksa's standard reporting covers what most operators actually use. If your finance team genuinely needs ERP-grade inventory analytics, Gastronovi may justify the price.
Gastronovi is a strong enterprise platform with deep DACH ecosystem integrations — for chains that genuinely run on those modules, the value is real. For everyone else, the per-module pricing structure means you pay for capability you don't use, and the quote stack ends up well above Fleksa's bundled price. The honest test: total your Gastronovi quote across all modules you'd actually use, then compare to Fleksa Bundle's published price. For independents and small DACH groups, the math reliably favors Fleksa.
