Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Oden POS and Loyverse?
Loyverse is a general POS that works for both retail and restaurants (historically more retail-oriented). Oden POS is specifically designed for restaurants in Mexico - it includes native CFDI 4.0 invoicing, mobile ordering UX designed for servers, integrated KDS without add-ons, and Spanish WhatsApp support with a local presence.
Is Loyverse really free?
Loyverse's core POS is free, but most restaurants end up paying for extra modules: Kitchen Display (~$5 USD/month), Employee Management (~$25 USD/month), Advanced Inventory, and more. Once you add what a real restaurant needs, pricing usually lands between $20 and $40 USD/month per terminal. Oden has a Basic plan at $89/mo with a free first month, and a Pro plan at $599 MXN/month with VAT included that includes everything with no add-ons.
Does Oden POS support CFDI 4.0 invoicing?
Yes. Oden POS generates receipts with a QR code so your customer can self-invoice in seconds from their phone, and it issues CFDI 4.0 directly from the system with your RFC and tax regime. Loyverse does not include native invoicing for Mexico - you need an external stamping solution.
When does Loyverse make more sense than Oden?
Loyverse makes sense if your business combines retail and restaurant operations in the same location (for example, a cafe with a retail shop) and you do not need Mexican CFDI invoicing. It can also work if you are starting with zero budget and only need to process payments. For a growing Mexican restaurant that needs mobile ordering, KDS, tables, and invoices, Oden is more complete and usually costs less overall.
Can I migrate from Loyverse to Oden POS?
Yes. We help you import your product catalog and categories directly. It usually takes 1 to 3 days depending on menu size. Message us on WhatsApp and we will guide you step by step.
Does Oden POS work offline like Loyverse?
Yes. Oden POS keeps charging, printing receipts, and sending kitchen tickets without internet. When the connection returns, everything syncs automatically to the cloud.
