Quick answer

Camarero10 is a solid option for neighbourhood bars and cafés: a reasonable entry price (~€39.90/month) and a fast counter interface. The problem appears as soon as you need complex kitchen modifiers, confirmed Verifactu compliance, recipe costing and inventory, or integrated reservations — features that require paid add-on modules and can push the real monthly cost to €55–70. The Bouzon Digital POS starts at €29.99/month with kitchen routing, modifiers, Verifactu and free-choice hardware included; the combo with Stock & Recipes is €49.98/month — typically below what Camarero10 costs with those modules activated.

Practical boundary: the Bouzon Digital POS is the most complete option across the entire range — simple bar, complex kitchen, multi-location, or restaurant needing integrated reservations + online shop. Flat €29.99/month with Verifactu confirmed in the base fee, free ESC/POS hardware (zero upfront cost if you already have a tablet and a standard printer) and the option to add website + Bookings + Shop + Stock & Recipes in the same account when the need grows.

Real cost over 24 months for 1 location with 2 terminals + kitchen printer

The monthly fee is only part of the cost. We add mandatory hardware from the vendor and the modules a restaurant with a separate kitchen typically needs (KDS or kitchen routing + recipe costing / inventory).

Solution	Software (24 months)	Hardware (one-off)	Total cost 24 months
Bouzon Digital POS only (€29.99/month)	€719.76	~€250 (tablet + printer)	~€970
Bouzon Digital POS + Stock (€49.98/month)	€1,199.52	~€250	~€1,450
Camarero10 base (~€39.90/month, no add-ons)	€957.60	~€600	~€1,558
Camarero10 with KDS + recipe costing (~€60/month)	€1,440	~€600	~€2,040
Glop cloud (from €35/month + modules)	€840	~€600	~€1,440
Hiopos full + HioScreen + HiOffice (~€60/month)	€1,440	~€1,200	~€2,640
Lightspeed Starter (~€65/month, no KDS or inv.)	€1,560	~€1,000	~€2,560

Over 24 months, the Bouzon Digital POS alone saves ~€588 versus Camarero10 base (including hardware) and more than €1,000 versus Camarero10 with kitchen and inventory modules. Add reservations without commissions instead of TheFork (~€3/cover × 60 reservations/month × 24 months = +€4,320) and the total saving reaches €5,000–7,000 over 24 months.

Which POS should you choose?

Scenario	Best option	Why
Neighbourhood bar with fast counter service and simple tickets	Bouzon Digital POS (€29.99/month)	For tapas bars with a simple flow (counter + 1 printer, no separate kitchen), the Bouzon Digital POS is the cheapest option, includes Verifactu out of the box and lets the bar grow into reservations or online ordering without switching providers.
Family restaurant with 30–80 covers, own website and table reservations	Bouzon Digital web plan (€49.99/month)	Camarero10 does not include reservations or a restaurant website. Adding CoverManager (~€44–99/month) and a freelance website (~€700–2,000) brings the total well above the €49.99/month Bouzon Digital plan, which bundles all eight modules.
Restaurant with complex kitchen: meat doneness and multiple side dishes	Bouzon Digital POS (€29.99/month)	Camarero10 is optimised for bar-counter speed and can fall short with complex modifiers. The Bouzon Digital POS includes configurable modifier groups out of the box (meat doneness with 6 levels + multiple side dishes), KDS with multi-printer routing and per-category ticket routing (bar / kitchen / pizzeria) all in the base fee, with no separate modules.
Restaurant that needs inventory and recipe costing with automatic decrements	Bouzon Digital POS + Stock & Recipes (€49.98/month)	Camarero10 offers recipe costing (escandallos) as a paid add-on module. Bouzon Digital includes the full Stock & Recipes module (automatic decrement, recipe costing, real ingredient cost, low-stock alerts, AI menu importer) at €49.98/month — typically cheaper than Camarero10 base + its recipe costing module.
Budget-conscious restaurant that already owns a tablet and thermal printer	Bouzon Digital POS (€29.99/month)	The Bouzon Digital POS works on any Android or Windows device and any standard ESC/POS printer — zero hardware cost if you already own the equipment. Flat €29.99/month with Verifactu, KDS and modifiers included, no commitment and no separate modules.
Restaurant migrating away from Camarero10 and wanting to keep its menu	Bouzon Digital POS (AI menu importer included)	The Bouzon Digital AI importer (Gemini) loads the menu from a photo, PDF or CSV exported from Camarero10. Migrating a catalogue of 80 items typically takes 1–2 hours with assisted onboarding — no need to re-enter every dish manually.

One account, one support contact

Bouzon Digital goes beyond the POS: Website, Reservations, Shop and Stock in one package

Camarero10, Glop and Hiopos focus on the POS. If you want to add commission-free table reservations, commission-free online ordering or inventory control with recipe costing, you need to contract 3–4 additional vendors and wire them all into your website — with the resulting synchronisation risk and fragmented invoices.

Bouzon Digital scales from a basic restaurant with website + reservations all the way to the full operational stack: POS (with kitchen routing + Verifactu), Stock & Recipes (automatic decrement + food costing), Bookings (0% commission) and Shop (0% commission) — all under one account. The real saving over 24 months compared to Camarero10 + CoverManager + Glovo + freelance website is around €5,000–8,000. Replacing TheFork and Lightspeed too pushes savings to €15,000–20,000.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best alternative to Camarero10 for restaurants in Spain in 2026?

For most independent restaurants with 1–2 locations, the Bouzon Digital POS is the most complete alternative to Camarero10: €29.99/month (standalone) versus Camarero10's ~€39.90/month base, with Verifactu / AEAT compliance included as standard, free-choice ESC/POS hardware, complex kitchen modifiers, and the ability to add reservations + online shop + inventory in the same account without switching vendor. Glop is the cheapest option in cloud subscription (€35/month) for POS-only needs. Hiopos is the most robust alternative for groups of 3+ locations needing intensive on-site support.

How much does Camarero10 really cost with all modules activated?

Camarero10's base subscription is ~€39.90/month per terminal, but that price does not include KDS (kitchen display screen), recipe costing / food cost control, own delivery channel or employee management. Activating KDS + recipe costing can add €15–30/month depending on the distributor plan, bringing the real cost to €55–70/month per terminal — more than double the Bouzon Digital POS (€29.99/month) with kitchen, modifiers and Verifactu already included, or comparable to the Bouzon Digital POS + Stock & Recipes combo (€49.98/month) which includes full inventory management.

Is Camarero10 compatible with Verifactu and AEAT requirements in Spain in 2026?

Camarero10's Verifactu compatibility depends on the plan and local distributor: some distributors already offer it; others have it on their 2026/2027 roadmap. Before signing, you must confirm with the local distributor that the plan includes XAdES-BES signing, the AEAT hash chain and the QR code on the simplified receipt as required by Royal Decree 1007/2023. The Bouzon Digital POS has Verifactu built into the base subscription (XAdES-BES signature with the restaurant's FNMT certificate, AEAT hash chain, QR and CSV on the ESC/POS receipt, automatic polling to the AEAT service) — at no additional cost.

Can I migrate from Camarero10 to the Bouzon Digital POS without losing my menu?

Yes. Camarero10 allows exporting the product catalogue as CSV or Excel from the admin panel. That file imports directly into the Bouzon Digital POS. If you don't have the CSV, the built-in AI importer (Gemini) can reconstruct the menu from a photo of the printed menu, a PDF of the digital menu or screenshots of the old POS. Migrating a catalogue of 60–100 items typically takes 1–2 hours with assisted onboarding. The ticket history in Camarero10 stays archived there (Spanish regulations require keeping original tickets for 6 years in the system that generated them); new tickets are issued in the Bouzon Digital POS.

How does the Bouzon Digital POS compare to Camarero10 for kitchen features?

The main difference lies in modifiers: the Bouzon Digital POS includes configurable modifier groups out of the box (meat doneness with 6 options, multiple side dishes with required or optional selection, free-text comment per item), which in Camarero10 may require additional configuration or be limited depending on the plan. For kitchen printing, both support ESC/POS printers, but the Bouzon Digital POS connects directly via USB through WebUSB (no local print server needed) or via LAN/local network, with a local agent for Bluetooth printers or printers built into Android devices. The KDS (kitchen display screen) in Camarero10 is a paid add-on; in Bouzon Digital, a kitchen display runs on any tablet with a browser at no extra hardware cost.

Does Camarero10 include table reservations and online ordering?

Not natively. Camarero10 is a pure POS: table reservations and online ordering are third-party modules that must be integrated (via API or CSV). Most bars using Camarero10 add TheFork (€39/month + €1–3 per cover) or CoverManager (€199–299/month) for reservations, and Glovo (25–35% commission) or a separate website for online orders. Bouzon Digital bundles all eight modules in one account: restaurant website (included in the €49.99/month web plan), Bookings (0% commission reservations), Shop (0% commission ordering), POS (with Verifactu) and Stock & Recipes (automatic decrement), Table self-service (QR), Incentives (per-waiter goals) and Reviews. One login, one support contact, one monthly invoice.

What hardware do I need to get started with the Bouzon Digital POS as a Camarero10 alternative?

An Android tablet (€150–250, new or reused) or a Windows PC — or the Android terminal you already have from another system — plus an 80mm ESC/POS thermal printer (€80–250 depending on the model). For card payments, a card reader (~€30). Total start-up cost: €250–500 one-off + €29.99/month. Camarero10 with standard distributor hardware: ~€400–900 one-off + €39.90/month. If you already own a compatible tablet and ESC/POS thermal printer, the Bouzon Digital POS can be launched at €0 additional hardware cost.
