Why Switch from FoodStorm
FoodStorm handles part of the problem. KitchenClick handles all of it.
No POS, no counter sales.
FoodStorm is an order management system that integrates with your existing grocery POS — it doesn't replace it. There's no point-of-sale for counter ordering, no payment terminal management, and no staff-facing order entry. KitchenClick includes a full POS alongside order management.
No waste tracking or production logging.
FoodStorm offers production reports and basic sales forecasting, but doesn't track what gets wasted or log what was actually produced. KitchenClick includes daily production logging, waste reporting, and demand forecasting to close the gap between orders and operations.
Separate system, separate data.
FoodStorm is a standalone tool that doesn't connect to your product catalog, pricing, loyalty, or payment systems. KitchenClick integrates natively with DataCore, TransactCore, EngageHQ, and PriceIQ.
Department routing, not kitchen routing.
FoodStorm's KDS routes orders to departments (deli, bakery, floral) but not to stations within a kitchen. There's no multi-station routing, no fulfillment step tracking, and no digital menu boards. KitchenClick handles both department-level and station-level workflows.
Why Switch from Toast
Toast is a restaurant POS. KitchenClick is a complete food service platform.
Toast wasn't built for supermarkets.
Toast is a restaurant POS expanding into grocery, but it lacks native department operations — no production forecasting, no production logging, no department-level workflows, and no grocery-style holiday pre-ordering. Scale integration requires a third-party partnership. KitchenClick was built for both restaurants and supermarket prepared foods from the start.
Locked into Toast's hardware and payments.
Toast requires proprietary Android hardware and mandates Toast Payments with no option for a third-party processor. KitchenClick works with standard hardware, integrates with your existing payment processor through TransactCore, and runs on any touchscreen device.
Another silo in your tech stack.
Toast is a standalone system with no connection to your retail platform. KitchenClick is part of the ShopHero CommerceCore ecosystem — shared product catalog, unified customer profiles, centralized loyalty, real-time event streaming.
No production planning to close the loop.
Toast tracks waste and sales — but has no production forecasting, no daily production logging, and no demand planning. KitchenClick closes the loop from order through fulfillment to operations, so you can plan tomorrow's production based on today's data.
FoodStorm and Toast are trademarks of their respective owners. KitchenClick is not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies. Feature comparisons reflect publicly available information as of April 2026.
