Glop Alternatives for Restaurants in Spain
We compare the main Glop alternatives in Spain for 2026: Bouzon POS + Stock & Recipes, Glop cloud, Glop perpetual licence, Camarero10 and Hiopos LITE. Verified prices, Verifactu, recipe costing and which one to pick — including the key question: is the perpetual licence still worth it in 2026?
Last updated: 21 May 2026 · Author: Pablo Bouzon (Bouzon Digital)
Quick answer
Glop is a respected option in the Spanish market, especially for its perpetual licence model — one of the few POS systems that lets you pay once and avoid monthly fees. The problem in 2026 is twofold: the Verifactu regulation (mandatory from 2027) requires updates that old perpetual licences don't include without extra cost; and Glop's stock module doesn't offer recipe-level ingredient costing or real-time food cost. Bouzon POS (€29.99/month) or the Bouzon POS + Stock & Recipes combo (€49.98/month) is the most complete alternative: cloud-native, hardware-free, Verifactu included from day one and no lock-in.
Practical boundary: Bouzon POS cloud (€29.99/month) is the right choice across the whole range — from the simplest bar to the restaurant with kitchen, recipe costing, multi-location operations or Verifactu requirements before 2027. It includes Verifactu in the base fee, free ESC/POS hardware, and is the only option that also bundles table reservations, an online shop and the restaurant website in the same account.
At-a-glance comparison
Indicative prices verified on official websites and distributors (May 2026). Actual price may vary by contract, volume and local distributor.
| Tool | Price | Recipe costing | Hardware | Verifactu |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bouzon POS + Stock | €49.98/month (POS + Stock) · €29.99/month POS only | ✅ Recipe cards + food cost per dish + auto-decrement | ✅ Free ESC/POS (~€80–250) | ✅ Included in base |
| Glop cloud (~€50–60/month with stock) | from €35/month + stock module ~€15–25/month | ⚠ Basic unit inventory; no recipe-level food cost | ⚠ Compatible (own hardware recommended) | ⚠ Partial; verify with distributor |
| Glop perpetual licence | from €299 one-off + maintenance ~€75–150/year | ❌ No recipe costing; only basic stock with add-on | ❌ Specific Windows hardware (~€400–800) | ❌ Requires paid licence upgrade |
| Camarero10 | ~€39.90/month base · ~€55–70/month with KDS + modules | ⚠ Available as paid add-on module | ⚠ Android/iOS compatible (hardware-free) | ⚠ Verify by plan |
| Hiopos LITE | ~€30–45/month · proprietary hardware ~€800–1,500 | ❌ Not in LITE; requires HiOffice (+€20–40/month) | ❌ Own hardware required for full support | ✅ In full Hiopos plan |
Real cost over 24 months — 1 location, 2 terminals + kitchen printer
The monthly fee (or one-off licence) is only part of the cost. We add hardware, annual maintenance, Verifactu upgrades where applicable and the stock modules a restaurant kitchen typically needs.
| Solution | Software (24 months) | Hardware (one-off) | Total cost 24 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bouzon POS + Stock (€49.98/month) | €1,199.52 | ~€250 (tablet + ESC/POS printer) | ~€1,450 |
| Bouzon POS only (€29.99/month) | €719.76 | ~€250 | ~€970 |
| Glop cloud + stock module (~€55/month) | €1,320 | ~€600 | ~€1,920 |
| Glop perpetual licence (2 terminals + Verifactu upgrade) | ~€598 (2 lic.) + ~€300 maintenance 2 years + ~€200 Verifactu upgrade | ~€800 (Windows hardware) | ~€1,900 |
| Camarero10 with KDS + recipe costing (~€60/month) | €1,440 | ~€300 | ~€1,740 |
| Hiopos LITE + proprietary hardware | ~€960 | ~€1,200 (Hiopos hardware) | ~€2,160 |
The Glop perpetual licence looks cheap at 12 months but over 24 months — including Windows-specific hardware, maintenance and the Verifactu upgrade — it reaches similar costs to a cloud subscription. Bouzon POS + Stock saves ~€470 vs Glop cloud + stock and ~€1,190 vs Hiopos LITE over 24 months — with recipe costing and Verifactu included in both cases.

Glop cloud (monthly subscription)
· Madrid, SpainPrice
from €35/month (basic cloud POS) + stock module ~€15–25/month · Verifactu not guaranteed on all plans
Commission per ticket
0% per direct ticket
Pros
- ✓ Competitive base price for the simplest cloud POS, no lock-in on most plans
- ✓ Wide partner and distributor network with in-person support across Spain
- ✓ Familiar interface for restaurants already using Glop desktop
- ✓ Includes basic sales reports, table management and digital menu
Cons

- ✗ Verifactu: partial availability depending on version and partner — always verify before signing a contract
- ✗ No integrated table reservations (0% commission) or native online ordering shop
- ✗ No restaurant website included — requires a separate freelancer or agency (~€700–2,000/year)
- ✗ Total cost with stock module (~€50–60/month) exceeds the Bouzon POS + Stock & Recipes combo (€49.98/month) with fewer food-cost features
Glop perpetual licence
· Madrid, SpainPrice
from €299 (single-terminal perpetual licence) + installation ~€150 + annual maintenance ~€75–150/year
Commission per ticket
0% per ticket
Pros
- ✓ No monthly fee: one-time investment with software ownership
- ✓ Full offline mode — does not depend on internet, useful in areas with unreliable connectivity
- ✓ Low annual maintenance charge (~€75–150/year) to keep technical support
- ✓ A real option for very basic bars with minimal turnover that want fixed CapEx
Cons
- ✗ Verifactu requires a software upgrade: the regulation (Real Decreto 1007/2023) mandates QR receipt, immutable hash chain and a responsible declaration signed by the software producer from 2027 — old perpetual licences do not comply without a paid upgrade
- ✗ No automatic product updates: each major new version may require renewing the licence or paying an upgrade (~€100–200)
- ✗ No cloud access: you cannot check sales or manage the POS remotely
- ✗ No reservations or online shop integration — you still need TheFork, Glovo and a separate website
- ✗ Real 5-year cost (perpetual + maintenance + Verifactu upgrade + hardware) often exceeds a cloud subscription with updates included

Which solution fits your situation?
| Scenario | Best option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Basic bar that wants to avoid monthly fees entirely | Bouzon POS (€29.99/month) | Bouzon POS cloud has Verifactu built into the base fee (mandatory from 2027, not optional) with no paid updates, free ESC/POS hardware with no upfront cost, and access from any device. The flat €29.99/month avoids the hidden cost of perpetual-licence upgrades and annual maintenance. |
| Restaurant kitchen that needs recipe costing and real food cost | Bouzon POS + Stock & Recipes (€49.98/month) | Glop cloud only offers basic unit inventory — it does not calculate real-time recipe cost or waste per dish. Bouzon Stock & Recipes does, at the same price as Glop cloud + basic stock module (€50–60/month) but with actual food cost, configurable recipe cards and mandatory-reason waste tracking. |
| Restaurant on Glop that needs Verifactu before 2027 | Migrate to Bouzon POS cloud (€29.99/month, Verifactu included) | Bouzon POS cloud includes Verifactu (XAdES-BES signature with the restaurant's FNMT certificate, AEAT hash chain, QR on the receipt and automatic polling) in the base fee from day one — no paid upgrade and no dependency on licence version. Catalogue migration with the AI importer takes 1–2 days and pays back within 6–12 months versus the cost of upgrading the Glop perpetual licence. |
| Tourist restaurant that needs website + reservations + POS in one account | Bouzon full web plan | Neither Glop cloud nor the perpetual licence includes a restaurant website or commission-free table reservations. Contracting Glop + TheFork + a web freelancer can easily exceed €150–200/month. Bouzon Digital includes all 8 modules — website, reservations (0%), online shop (0%), POS + Verifactu, Stock & Recipes, Table self-service (QR), Incentives (per-waiter goals) and Reviews — in a single account. |
| Multi-location business growing without paying per terminal | Bouzon POS (per-location subscription, not per-terminal) | Glop perpetual charges per terminal (~€299 × number of terminals). Glop cloud may also scale the price per terminal. Bouzon POS covers the entire location with multiple terminals on the same €29.99/month subscription, and supports native multi-tenant for groups with several locations — ideal for restaurants with bar + dining room + terrace running in parallel. |
| Migrating from Glop and need to import the product catalogue | Bouzon POS (AI importer included) | Glop allows exporting the product catalogue to CSV from the management panel. That file imports directly into Bouzon POS. If the catalogue has incomplete descriptions or outdated prices, Bouzon's AI importer (Gemini) can rebuild the menu from a printed menu photo or PDF — reducing manual migration from several days to 1–2 working days for a menu of 80–120 products. |
One account, one support contact
Bouzon Digital goes beyond POS: Website, Reservations, Shop and Stock in one package
Glop (cloud or perpetual) focuses on the POS and the point of sale. If you want to add commission-free table reservations, commission-free online ordering or a restaurant website with local SEO, you need to contract additional vendors — TheFork, Glovo, a web agency — with the extra cost and fragmented data that entails.
Bouzon Digital scales from a basic restaurant with a website + reservations up to the full operational stack: POS (kitchen orders + Verifactu), Stock & Recipes (recipe costing + auto-decrement), Bookings (0% commission) and Shop (0% commission), all under one account. The real saving over 24 months vs Glop + TheFork + Glovo + a web freelancer is around €8,000–12,000.
