When ShelfWise is the right call

You're an independent restaurant in Sweden or Europe

SEK-native, moms-ready invoices, prices that don't require a sales call. We're built for the kitchen that wants real inventory without enterprise pricing.

You don't want to switch your POS

Trivec and Caspeco bundle inventory with their till. We work alongside whatever POS you already use — or none at all.

You want honest pricing, not a sales call

No $500 setup fees, no 8% annual price-creep, no multi-year contracts. Start the trial, cancel anytime.

When someone else might be a better fit

  • MarketMan or Restaurant365Multi-location chains with full accounting integration needs. Powerful, but at $149–$249+/month plus setup fees.
  • DishCostIf all you need is recipe costing and food-cost % — no real stock counts — DishCost at $39/month is a focused pick.
  • Trivec or CaspecoIf you're shopping for a Swedish POS anyway, their bundled inventory may be enough.
