Comparison

Jamatu or Hypersoft. Built new, with AI in everyday work.

Hypersoft has grown over more than 30 years and is put together from modules. Jamatu was built from the start for tablet, smartphone and AI: one subscription per venue, plus the assistant Jonida, who makes changes when you ask.

  • CHF 35 a month per venue
  • Payment terminal free of charge
  • No fixed fee per receipt
  • Without prepayment, cancel any month

In brief

Two systems, two starting points

For a comparison to be worth anything, first a fair description of both.

Jamatu

Built for Swiss hospitality

From the canton of Zurich, for restaurants, bars, cafés, hotels, take-aways and canteens. POS on a tablet, a smartphone or the JamTerminal, self-ordering by QR code and at the kiosk, kitchen display and receipt printing, plus the assistant Jonida.

Billing is per venue. Whether one POS is running or five devices are out on the floor, the price stays the same. We provide the payment terminal free of charge, there is no fixed fee per receipt, and the subscription can be cancelled monthly.

Hypersoft

The POS maker from Hamburg

On the market for over 30 years, in use at over 2'400 locations by its own account, with a phone line and support for Switzerland. Strong in large operations: chain restaurants, travel and leisure catering, hotels, nightlife.

The system is put together: a base, plus touchpoints such as POS, handheld or kiosk and add-ons such as kitchen display, Booking, Analytics, Delivery or time tracking. The tills are connected to a POS server on site. Prices are in the quote; setup and training are billed by time and effort.

Honestly, up front

Which system suits whom

The decision is not made on the feature list, but on how your venue works.

Choose Jamatu if

  • you want everything important in the subscription instead of putting modules and touchpoints together one by one
  • you want QR ordering, kiosk and training to start without setup or training fees
  • you want to be able to cancel at the end of any month instead of three or twelve months' notice
  • a modern interface and AI in everyday work matter to you

Choose Hypersoft if

  • you run a large operation with many tills and profit centres
  • you need cashless, ticketing or scales in the same system
  • you want time tracking in the POS system
  • you are looking for a provider with over 30 years on the market

  1. CHF 35 a month with two years paid in advance (CHF 840), CHF 40 with one year, otherwise CHF 49 a month. One subscription per venue, no minimum term.
  2. No purchase and no monthly rent, with at least six months of use.
  3. Hypersoft does not publish this. Licence prices, add-ons, payment terms and discounts are in the quote. Ask for the figures to complete the comparison.
  4. The rate depends on the payment method and volume and is stated in your quote. We deliberately don't give a flat figure, because depending on your mix it would be misleading in either direction.
  5. Kitchen display (Order Dashboard in OrderAdmin) for the kitchen; for bars and small kitchens, the Order Master directly in JamWaiter.
  6. JamTerminals and smartphones have a SIM card and stay connected over the mobile network. Paying by card or TWINT usually needs a connection anyway, with any system.

Costs

What Hypersoft charges publicly

Hypersoft does not publish licence prices, but it does publish its services for Switzerland. That lets us calculate what you pay when starting and when leaving. Hypersoft first, then Jamatu.

  • € 1'665less at the start

    Starting with QR and kiosk

    A restaurant starts with QR code ordering and a self-service kiosk, and trains the team on the POS.

    Hypersoft: Table Ordering € 720, Self Order Terminal € 630, POS training € 315 · Jamatu: JamOrder with no setup fee, kiosk setup included in the purchase price, training free of charge

  • 3 monthsshorter commitment

    Leaving on the monthly model

    After one month, the venue realises the system is not a good fit.

    Hypersoft: 3-month term, 3 months' notice · Jamatu without prepayment: cancel at the end of any month

Hypersoft prices according to the Service-Katalog CH in euros, plus VAT, as of 20 October 2026; licences, hardware and add-ons come on top and are in the quote. Jamatu: JamOrder with no licence, setup or monthly fee; JamKiosk costs a one-off from CHF 2'750 including setup, plus CHF 59 per device per month.

The difference

Built new, not grown over the years

Hypersoft has grown over more than 30 years, a module here, an add-on there. Jamatu was built from the start for tablet, smartphone and AI. You notice it in everyday work, not just on the feature list.

  • 01

    AI that pitches in

    Ask Jonida in your own words for today's sales, mark a product as sold out or change a price. She shows you every change first, and nothing is saved until you give the okay.

  • 02

    No manual needed

    A modern interface, made for touch and for people with no time to spare during service. See for yourself: the demo is open in two clicks.

  • 03

    More in the price

    QR ordering, kitchen display, vouchers and cash book are included in the subscription. No add-on you have to book, have set up and cancel separately.

  • 04

    Costs you know in advance

    One price per venue, the payment terminal with no purchase price from six months of use, no fixed fee per receipt, cancel monthly. It is all public before you request a quote.

A fair comparison

Who Hypersoft suits

No POS system suits every venue. In these cases, Hypersoft is a good choice.

  • Large operations with many tills. Chain restaurants, travel and leisure operations with many tills, profit centres and their own POS server: that is what Hypersoft is built for, and it has been in use for over 30 years.
  • Cashless, ticketing and scales. For stadiums, leisure parks or businesses that sell by weight, Hypersoft offers its own add-ons. We don't offer this.
  • Time tracking in the POS system. If you want to record working hours directly at the POS, Hypersoft has it as an add-on. It is not part of what we offer.

For everyone else: one subscription per venue, everything important included, round-the-clock support from Switzerland. Bring your quote along and we will work through your numbers.

Switching

What switching really involves

  1. Check contract and notice periods

    First we check when your Hypersoft contract ends, including the notice period, and what happens to the devices. If switching only pays off later, we will tell you.

  2. Set up your menu together

    We enter items, prices, variants and extras together in one session. An existing menu as a list is all we need to start.

  3. Train your team

    We set up the POS at your venue and train your team. You can try the demo in your browser beforehand.

FAQ

What venues ask us

How much does Hypersoft cost in Switzerland?

Hypersoft does not publish licence prices; they are in the quote. The Swiss service catalogue is public, for example € 720 for setting up Table Ordering, € 630 for the Self Order Terminal and € 315 for POS training, each plus VAT. As of 20 October 2026.

How long am I tied to Hypersoft?

According to the Hypersoft documentation, the monthly model has a three-month term with three months' notice, and the annual model a twelve-month term with twelve months' notice. So plan your switch early. With us, the subscription can be cancelled at the end of any month.

Do I need new hardware?

Not necessarily. JamWaiter runs on iPad, Android devices and Sunmi, without a POS server on site. We provide the JamTerminal for POS and card payments free of charge, with at least six months of use.

What do setup and training cost?

With us, nothing, not even on site. Support is available around the clock. With Hypersoft, setup and training are charged according to the Swiss service catalogue, for example € 315 for POS training.

What happens if the Wi-Fi goes down?

The JamTerminal and smartphones have a SIM card and keep running over 4G, for ordering and payment. A POS that keeps recording offline does little for payments: card and TWINT usually need a connection anyway.

Who is Hypersoft a better fit for?

For large operations with many tills and profit centres, for cashless, ticketing and scales, and for time tracking in the POS system. If that is central for you, Hypersoft is a good fit. For everything else, we are happy to work through your case.
