Comparison
GarageOS vs a till-based workshop system
Till-based systems are proven. They also assume you spend the day at a counter, which stopped being true when phones got good.
GarageOS is mobile-first — the bay board lives on the tablet on the wall and the phone in your pocket, not a desktop PC out back.
| Area | Alternative | GarageOS |
|---|---|---|
| Where you work | At the till PC | Anywhere — phone, tablet, PC |
| Online booking | Often bolt-on | Built-in |
| Updates | Manual, sometimes paid | Automatic, included |
| Per-seat pricing | Common | One subscription for the team |
If your till system does the job, keep it. If you're replacing hardware or renewing a contract this year, look at GarageOS first.
