Odoo
Open-source ERP with inventory, POS and accounting apps
Odoo is a Belgian open-source suite of integrated business apps, including Inventory, Purchase, Point of Sale (shop and restaurant modes), eCommerce and Accounting. Shops and restaurants use it to run stock, sales and finance in one system, either on Odoo's cloud or self-hosted. A large partner network provides implementation services.
Our reading. Best for shops and restaurants that want stock, POS, e-commerce and accounting in one database and have the patience or a partner to configure it.
