Questions?

We’re glad you asked.

What's the total cost to get started?

It depends on which plan you choose. With Starter, you pay $2,500 for your hardware, a one-time $350
setup fee, and $39/mo for software. With Essential, you pay $199/mo for the hardware lease, the same
$350 setup fee, and $39/mo for software. No hidden fees, no surprises — what you see here is what
you pay.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. Waycloud doesn't lock you into multi-year contracts. Your software plan is month-to-month, and your equipment lease on the Essential plan can be reviewed at renewal. We earn your business every month — not once on a signature.

What are the processing fees?

All plans process card-present transactions (tapped, swiped, or inserted) at 2.3% + 10¢. Manually entered card information is 3.5% + 10¢. There are no hidden processing fees beyond that.

What's the difference between Starter and Essential?

Both plans include the same cloud-based POS software, 24/7 bilingual support, and identical
processing fees. The hardware is where they differ. Starter comes with a Station Duo (15.6" POS +
9.7" customer screen), ID Tech card reader, receipt printer, and cash drawer — paid once, owned
outright. Essential includes all of that plus a kitchen printer and an Android 11.0 wireless terminal, all on
a monthly lease that also covers equipment service and replacement.

What does the $350 setup fee cover?

The one-time setup fee covers installation, configuration, and onboarding for your restaurant. Our team
gets your system running so you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Can I add more stations later?

Yes. Additional stations are billed at $39/mo each for software. Hardware for additional stations can be
purchased or leased separately. Contact our team and we'll set it up.

What happens if my equipment breaks?

On the Essential plan, equipment service and replacement is included (restrictions apply). On the
Starter plan, you own the hardware outright — repairs and replacements are your responsibility. We
recommend the Essential plan if equipment coverage is a priority for your operation.

Does online ordering cost extra?

Yes — online ordering through Waycloud is available as an add-on for $29/mo. It includes your
Waycloud online menu page, no-fee online ordering, POS menu sync, and remote order firing.

Is 24/7 support really included?

Yes, on both plans. You can reach our team by phone at (800) 571-8370 at any hour. ¡Hablamos
español!

 What is Waycloud Capital?

Waycloud Capital is our built-in financing solution for active Waycloud clients. If you need funds for
equipment, renovations, staffing, or cash flow, you can apply directly from your dashboard and get
funded as soon as the next business day. Repayment happens automatically as a percentage of your
daily card sales — so when business is slow, you pay less.

Can I switch from my current POS to Waycloud?

Yes. Our onboarding team handles the migration — menu setup, staff training, and hardware
installation. Most restaurants are up and running within a few days. Contact us and we'll walk you
through the process.

What types of restaurants does Waycloud support?

Full-service restaurants, quick service, bars and breweries, coffee shops, food trucks, and catering operations. If you take card payments and serve food, Waycloud works for you.

Does Waycloud offer a Kitchen Display System (KDS)?

Yes. Waycloud KDS is available as an add-on for either the 21.5" or 23.8" screen — both at the same price. Hardware is $1,200 per screen, plus a one-time $350 installation fee. Software activation is $29/mo per screen. Contact our team to add it to your setup.
