Yoordi started with QR ordering and has built a POS, kiosk and online shop around it, each as a separate module with its own fee. With Jamatu, POS, QR ordering and kitchen display are one subscription for the whole venue.
The JamWaiter demo runs right in your browser, no sign-up needed. The login details are pre-filled, so you are in the POS in two clicks.
In brief
For a comparison to be worth anything, first a fair description of both.
Jamatu
From the canton of Zurich, for restaurants, bars, cafés, hotels, take-aways and canteens. POS on a tablet, smartphone or JamTerminal, self-ordering by QR code and at the kiosk, kitchen display, ticket printing and the assistant Jonida.
Billing is per venue, not per device. We provide the payment terminal free of charge, and the subscription can be cancelled monthly.
Yoordi
Yoordi AG from Zurich became known for «scan. order. pay.», ordering and paying by QR code without an app. Today its range also includes a POS, an ordering kiosk, online shops for pick-up and delivery, and a marketplace for events and food courts. According to Yoordi, more than 400 businesses use it.
Each product is a module with its own monthly fee. Payments run through the partner wallee or through Yoordi's own Yoordi Pay, which is being introduced step by step in 2026.
Honestly, up front
The decision isn't made on price alone but on what your venue needs.
At a glance
Yoordi does not publish a price list. Alongside the information on yoordi.com, we rely on a Yoordi quote for a food truck and the Yoordi Pay price list for pilot customers, both from 2026. Where nothing is stated there either, we say so instead of guessing.

Costs
With Yoordi, the price adds up from licences, modules and fees per payment and per order. Three typical cases, Yoordi first, then Jamatu.
CHF 1'658less in the first year
One POS, ordering and paying by QR code, one terminal. That is how it appears in a Yoordi quote for a food truck, with 12 months paid in advance.
Yoordi 12 × CHF 156.60 + terminal CHF 199 + replacement CHF 60: CHF 2'138.20 excl. VAT · Jamatu 12 × CHF 40: CHF 480
CHF 1'279less per year
Three devices used for ordering and payment. With Yoordi, one licence per device; with us, one subscription for the venue. Both with two years paid in advance.
Yoordi (CHF 79 + 2 × CHF 49) × 0.8 × 12: CHF 1'699.20 excl. VAT · Jamatu CHF 420
CHF 1'300Yoordi on CHF 100'000 in order sales
Whatever guests order by QR code or in the online shop costs 0.9 percent in sales commission with Yoordi, plus the fixed fee of CHF 0.05 on every card payment. Calculated with 8'000 orders at CHF 12.50 each. With us there is neither one nor the other.
Yoordi 0.9 % × CHF 100'000 = CHF 900 + 8'000 × CHF 0.05 = CHF 400
Yoordi prices exclusive of VAT, from a quote and the Yoordi Pay price list for pilot customers 2026. In the second example we assume the 24-month discount also applies to the additional licences. For Jamatu, the first example uses annual prepayment (CHF 40 a month), the second two years (CHF 35). The percentages per payment are not included, because our rate is stated in the quote: bring your Yoordi quote and we will put both side by side.
The difference
01
POS, QR ordering, kitchen display and vouchers are in the same subscription with us. A second device, an extra display or QR ordering does not make the bill bigger.
02
Five centimes per payment sounds like little. On a coffee for CHF 4.50, the minimum fee of ten centimes applies, which is more than two percent. With us there is no fixed fee per receipt.
03
No prepayment for one or two years. If you take a break, your menu and settings are waiting when you return.
04
We provide the payment terminal, with no purchase and no monthly rental. With Yoordi you buy it and pay monthly for the connection and replacement service.
A fair comparison
No system suits every venue. In these cases Yoordi is a good choice.
For everyone else: one subscription per venue, QR ordering with no monthly fee, no fixed fee per receipt and round-the-clock support from Switzerland. Bring your quote and we will work through your numbers.
In practice
«With JamOrder we have perfectly combined digital efficiency and personal luxury, a win for guests and staff!»
«JamOrder makes ordering meals quick, easy and stress-free for our employees!»
Switching
With Yoordi, the term is paid in advance. We first check when it ends and whether switching earlier is worthwhile. If that means we have to wait, we will tell you.
We enter items, prices, variants and extras together in one session. We replace the QR codes on the tables with new ones from JamOrder.
Terminals you bought from Yoordi Pay or wallee stay with you. With us you get the terminal with no purchase price, and POS and payments come from Jamatu.
Frequently asked questions
For licences, terminals and QR ordering, yes, see the cost examples. On top of that, Yoordi Pay charges a fixed fee of CHF 0.05 per payment; we charge none. We set out our rate per payment in your quote: bring your Yoordi quote along and we will put both side by side.
Yoordi only publishes entry prices. The other figures come from a Yoordi quote for a food truck and the Yoordi Pay price list for pilot customers, both from 2026. Your quote may differ. Bring it along and we will calculate with your numbers.
No. JamOrder has no licence or monthly fee and no share of sales. Only the rate per payment from your quote applies, with no fixed fee per receipt.
Because a flat figure would be misleading in either direction. The rate depends on how your guests pay and how much goes through the POS. What we firmly commit to: no fixed fee per receipt, no fee for the terminal, and a rate that is in your quote before you sign.
Not at all. The subscription runs online, can be cancelled at the end of any month and has no minimum term. If you pause, your menu, items and settings are kept.
No. Jamatu needs a connection, which is why smartphones and JamTerminals have a SIM card, and printers can too on request. For payments, offline would gain little anyway: TWINT always needs a connection, and card payments usually do too.
