Liquor Logic vs Pilot POS
Pilot POS is one of South Africa's most established hospitality systems — 30+ years in the market, solid for restaurants and hotels. But it's traditional, on-premise, and starts from around R1,800/month. Liquor Logic delivers cloud-native flexibility with more features at a lower cost.

Liquor Logic
VS
Pilot POS
Key Differences
Pilot POS has a long track record in South African hospitality, particularly in restaurants, hotels, and franchise groups. It's a trusted, reliable system. However, it's a traditional on-premise Windows-based system — meaning you're hardware-dependent, updates are manual, and remote access is limited. Pricing typically starts from R1,800–R2,250/month with hardware often bundled into the cost. Liquor Logic is cloud-native, device-agnostic, includes online order integration and reservations from day one, and starts from R349/month. For any venue looking for a modern, flexible system without the hardware overhead, Liquor Logic is the more practical choice.
