Introduction
Restaurant software comparisons become misleading when they start with a feature checklist instead of the operating failure you are trying to remove.
XPOS has a clear front-of-house and digital-ordering proposition. Its Georgian restaurant page, checked on August 17, 2026, describes restaurant POS, table and takeaway orders, kitchen printing, recipe and raw-material cost control, QR ordering and payment, and aggregation of Glovo, Wolt and Bolt orders. It also publishes a 59 GEL monthly base price and optional e-commerce and accounting packages. That makes XPOS especially relevant to restaurants where order-channel consolidation is the immediate problem.
Wox takes the broader operating-system approach: POS and KDS, inventory with recipe-based stock deduction, food cost reporting, AI invoice scanning, rs.ge waybill import, multi-location reporting and the Wox Analyst AI assistant share one data model. The decision turns on which operating loop you need to improve.
Quick answer
Choose Wox if the harder problem sits behind the order: inventory counts, recipe-based stock deduction, supplier invoices and rs.ge waybills, supplier price changes, food cost and multi-location owner visibility. Wox connects those workflows to POS data, so every sale, delivery and count lands on the same record.
Choose XPOS if you are delivery-heavy and want a lower-priced restaurant POS that pulls Glovo, Wolt and Bolt orders into one interface while also supporting table service, kitchen printing and QR ordering. As of August 17, 2026, those capabilities are explicitly marketed on XPOS's Georgian restaurant page, together with a 59 GEL monthly base package.
The tiebreaker is whether your biggest manual handoff happens before the kitchen or after it. If staff are re-entering delivery orders, switching between aggregator tablets or pushing guests toward QR ordering, XPOS addresses that pain directly. If the owner is chasing stock, invoices, waybills and food cost after those orders are fulfilled, Wox addresses a broader operational layer.
Who each product is best for
Best for a delivery-heavy independent restaurant
XPOS is highly relevant when delivery aggregation is central to the business. As of August 17, 2026, its restaurant page explicitly names Glovo, Wolt and Bolt and says orders can be managed from one application. That can remove a very visible source of service friction without requiring the operator to adopt a broad back-office change.
Best for an owner trying to connect sales to stock and food cost
Wox is designed for the operator who wants every sale to feed a wider operating loop. Each sale deducts ingredients through its recipe, and inventory counts, waste, scanned invoices, rs.ge waybills, purchase price history and food cost live around the same restaurant data. That is a different value proposition from simply collecting order channels into one screen.
Best for a restaurant that wants QR ordering and payment as a sales channel
XPOS has the clearer current public proposition. Its page checked on August 17, 2026 describes QR ordering, card payment, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus table and takeaway flows. Wox has a public menu and POS stack, but XPOS should be considered seriously if guest self-ordering is a primary acquisition or labour-efficiency strategy.
Feature-by-feature comparison
The competitor cells below reflect public material checked on August 17, 2026. Undocumented means unknown, not absent.
| Feature area | Wox | XPOS | What to know as an operator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory counting | Offline counts, storages, recipe-based deduction on every sale, waste, history and low-stock alerts. | Stock analytics, recipes and raw-material cost control are publicly marketed. | Both cover inventory signals; Wox is more explicit about structured counts and actual versus theoretical usage. |
| Purchasing and ordering | Purchases are recorded from AI-scanned invoices and rs.ge waybills; Wox does not create or approve supplier orders today. | Detailed PO approval and recurring purchasing are not publicly documented on the page. | Wox documents how purchases enter stock, not the order itself. |
| Vendor management | Suppliers and items are proposed from rs.ge waybills, with purchase price history from invoices and waybills; no supplier portal or RFQs. | Supplier-side portal/RFQ is not publicly documented as of 2026-08-17. | Wox's supplier data comes from rs.ge and invoices rather than from a supplier-facing tool. |
| Invoice processing | AI invoice scanning, plus rs.ge waybill import with 12 months of history. | Not publicly documented on the XPOS restaurant page checked. | Confirm whether accounting add-on includes invoice capture and what format is supported. |
| Receiving and reconciliation | A manager confirms each delivery from the scanned invoice or rs.ge waybill before stock moves; deliveries are not matched against an order. | A detailed PO receiving and shortage workflow is not publicly documented. | If delivery variance is material, make this a buying test. |
| Low-stock and replenishment | Low-stock alerts; no order suggestions today. | Stock analytics are marketed; par-based ordering is not clearly documented publicly. | With Wox, the low-stock alert is the end point; the order itself is placed outside the system. |
| Reporting and analytics | Sales, COGS, actual versus theoretical usage, purchase price history and multi-location analytics. | Reports by order channel, branch, stock and cash control are marketed. | XPOS is strong on channel visibility; Wox adds food-cost and supplier price metrics. |
| Multi-location control | Central control, permissions and reports across locations. | Branch reporting is publicly described; exact central governance depth is not documented. | Both can serve groups, but test roles, menu rollout and stock controls. |
| POS and accounting integrations | Wox native POS and selected third-party POS connectors; Georgian fiscal/payment specifics require confirmation. | XPOS shows TBC, Bank of Georgia and Liberty partner logos and offers an accounting add-on. | Treat logos as context, not technical proof; ask for supported terminal and fiscal device models. |
| Pricing transparency | Free 0 GEL, Starter 149 GEL/month, Growth 249 GEL/month, and Enterprise 349 GEL/month. | Base 59 GEL/month; e-commerce +99 GEL/month; accounting +109 GEL/month; 30-day free period. | XPOS has a lower base price, but optional modules change the total. |
Pricing and packaging
As of August 17, 2026, XPOS's Georgian restaurant page lists a base package at 59 GEL per month, an e-commerce addition at 99 GEL per month and an accounting addition at 109 GEL per month, with a 30-day free period. The site presents these as modular additions, so a restaurant using more than the base POS should add the relevant pieces before comparing totals. Hardware, implementation and the exact commercial treatment of bank or fiscal integrations should be confirmed separately. Wox publishes Free at 0 GEL, Starter at 149 GEL, Growth at 249 GEL and Enterprise at 349 GEL per month. Its tiers combine operational modules with capacity limits.
| Plan | Wox | XPOS |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Free 0 GEL or Starter 149 GEL/month | Base 59 GEL/month |
| Mid | Growth 249 GEL/month | Base + selected add-ons |
| Top | Enterprise 349 GEL/month | Base plus e-commerce 99 GEL/month and accounting 109 GEL/month where required |
| What counts against limits | Locations, items, vendors, seats, invoices and AI/document usage by Wox tier | XPOS total depends on selected add-ons; hardware and integration costs should be quoted |
Workflow comparison
The weekly inventory count
XPOS publicly documents recipes, raw-material cost and stock analytics, so it has the core data needed to connect sales with inventory. Wox adds a more explicit count process across storage areas, with recipe-based deduction, waste and low-stock alerts. Ask both systems to run a real weekly count, including an item bought by case but consumed by unit. The useful result is not a pretty stock number.
Operator takeaway: choose the system your managers will actually use for a complete count and correction cycle, because unreliable counts undermine every stock and food-cost figure built on top of them.
Recording purchases: invoices and rs.ge waybills
Neither product publicly documents an order approval lifecycle: Wox does not create, approve or send supplier orders today, and XPOS's public restaurant page checked on August 17, 2026 does not document one. Wox's documented part starts when goods arrive: the supplier's rs.ge waybill is imported automatically, with 12 months of history and a nightly re-sync, or the paper invoice is scanned with AI, and a manager reviews the lines before stock moves. If three branches order from the same suppliers, ask how each system gets those deliveries into stock and purchase prices without retyping.
Operator takeaway: bring last month's real supplier invoices and rs.ge waybills to the demo and time how long each one takes to become stock and an updated purchase price.
Checking deliveries and supplier prices
XPOS's public material focuses on sales channels, stock analytics, kitchen and reporting rather than the physical receiving event. Wox records the delivery from the supplier's own document: the manager reviews the scanned invoice or rs.ge waybill and confirms it before stock moves, and each item's purchase price goes into its price history. That matters when the invoice says ten cases and the loading door gets nine. Ask how each system records a shortage, substitutes a SKU, updates the actual received price and keeps a credit claim visible until resolved.
Operator takeaway: the stronger product is the one that keeps what arrived, what it cost and what finally entered stock on one record you can check later.
The weekly manager and owner review
XPOS can give an owner reports by branch and order channel, which is valuable when aggregator economics need to be understood. Wox's weekly review adds COGS, actual versus theoretical usage, waste and purchase price changes to sales and inventory. A restaurant that gets a large share of revenue from delivery may care more about channel mix and order flow. A group with volatile input prices may care more about purchase price variance.
Operator takeaway: pick the platform that answers your real weekly management questions with the fewest exports, reconciliations and follow-up messages.
Strengths, gaps, and where each is stronger
Strengths of Wox
Wox's strongest documented advantage is the loop from sale to stock to food cost. Every sale deducts its ingredients through the recipe, deliveries come in from AI-scanned invoices and rs.ge waybills that a manager confirms before stock moves, and food cost, actual versus theoretical usage and purchase price history are reported from the same record. POS, KDS, the manager's phone and the owner's web view keep those workflows on one operational record across every location.
Where XPOS is stronger
XPOS is stronger on publicly documented delivery aggregation and guest-facing digital ordering. As of August 17, 2026, it names Glovo, Wolt and Bolt aggregation and markets QR ordering plus card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For restaurants with multiple delivery tablets and a high off-premise mix, that can be a more immediate operational benefit than deeper stock and food-cost controls. XPOS is also stronger on low-entry-price simplicity. Its 59 GEL base package is clear, and the optional e-commerce and accounting prices are published. A small restaurant that needs POS, kitchen flow and order aggregation may get to value faster without paying for workflows it does not yet need.
Switching from XPOS
A switch from XPOS should start by separating front-of-house channels from back-office data. Menu items, modifiers, table layout, recipes, stock, staff and opening balances are the core operational masters. Delivery-platform credentials, QR flows, bank terminals and any accounting connection should be treated as separate integrations with their own acceptance tests. Wox does not promise that XPOS delivery or e-commerce configuration can be imported automatically. If delivery aggregation is business-critical, verify how that workflow will be replaced before moving the POS.
Trade-offs and final verdict
XPOS is a stronger specialist choice when order-channel consolidation, QR commerce and a low base subscription are the immediate priorities. Wox is a stronger operating-system choice when the owner's problem continues through inventory, recipes, supplier invoices, rs.ge waybills and food cost. Neither should be judged by who has the longer feature list. A delivery-heavy one-location restaurant may rationally prefer XPOS even if Wox can do more elsewhere. A three-location group with stable dine-in sales but chaotic stock and food cost may rationally prefer Wox even if XPOS is cheaper at the till. The best buying exercise is to quantify the weekly manual work each system removes: duplicated order entry, stock reconciliation, invoice and waybill entry, food-cost calculation and owner reporting.
Before signing, document the fiscal device, payment terminal, printers, KDS, offline behaviour, permissions, export process, support escalation and cancellation terms. Turn every implementation-critical claim into a test case before go-live.
Final verdict
Choose Wox if you are changing software to connect sales with stock, recipes and food cost, to bring supplier deliveries in from rs.ge waybills and scanned invoices, and to give the owner multi-location control. Wox is strongest when the problem is knowing what your food really costs and where your stock goes.
Choose XPOS if its documented strengths are closer to the problem you need to solve and a live implementation test confirms them. Choose the system that removes more recurring friction without creating unacceptable fiscal, payment, support or migration risk.
