Upgrading your restaurant’s point-of-sale is more accessible than ever, thanks to the partnership between SpotOn and Advanced Hospitality Systems. When evaluating a new POS, cost is often the primary hurdle. Between terminals, cash drawers, and kitchen printers, the initial investment can feel out of reach.
However, for restaurants in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, that barrier has been removed. By leveraging our 2026 programs, your establishment can qualify for zero-cost hardware, earn credits to cover software subscriptions, and slash processing fees by up to 85%. Here is how you can get a complete SpotOn system at zero cost.
What is SpotOn POS?
SpotOn is a high-performance, cloud-based Android system that has consistently been rated the best point-of-sale for restaurants by NerdWallet and other industry leaders. This all-in-one solution includes:
- Durable Android Hardware: Built for the heat and hustle of a professional kitchen.
- Integrated Growth Tools: Built-in online ordering, loyalty programs, email marketing, and digital gift cards.
- Local Expertise: Unlike competitors that rely on overseas call centers, SpotOn is locally programmed and supported by the team at Advanced Hospitality Systems.
Why SpotOn is the Smart Choice for 2026
In a market saturated with over 20 different POS options, SpotOn stands out through its commitment to transparency. While other major brands were criticized in recent years for “junk fees,” rigid lock-in contracts, and stagnant software, SpotOn continues to offer a flexible, month-to-month subscription model that prioritizes the merchant’s success over fine-print penalties.
The Roadmap to Zero Cost
Transitioning to a modern system is often more cost-effective than sticking with an outdated one. Here is our three-step approach to a zero-cost setup:
1. Qualify for No-Cost Hardware
At Advanced Hospitality Systems, we offer a hardware qualification program for new merchants.
- The Audit: We review your current menu and hardware configuration needs.
- The Statement Review: We analyze your two most recent payment processing statements.
- The Offer: Based on your processing volume and configuration size, we can often provide your entire hardware package—terminals, handhelds, KDS, and printers—at zero upfront cost.
2. Earn While You Expand: The $2,000 Referral Program
You can effectively eliminate your monthly software costs through our referral partner program.
- Refer and Earn: When you refer another restaurant that signs, installs, and goes live with SpotOn, you can earn a bonus of up to $2,000.00.
- Ongoing Savings: Many of our clients find that just one or two referrals per year completely offset their own software subscription costs.
3. Save 85% on Fees with Cash Discounting
The largest recurring cost for any restaurant is credit card processing. By implementing a Cash DiscouSpotOn POS Cash Discountingnt (or Dual Pricing) model, you can reduce your effective rates by up to 85%.
- Guest Perception: Unlike “surcharging,” which can feel like a penalty at the bottom of a bill, cash discounting presents a transparent “Cash Price” and “Credit Price.”
- Bottom Line Impact: This shift can save a typical restaurant tens of thousands of dollars annually, which can then be reinvested into staff, renovations, or expansion.
