Pick your trade.

Each page runs the real cost side by side against the system that trade actually shops against — on your own volume, your own crew, your own ticket size.

Built for coffee

The per-sale fee is eating your morning rush.

On a $6 latte, a $0.15 per-transaction fee costs more than the percentage rate does. Run 4,000 sales a month and that one line is $600 a year before anyone has poured a shot.

What you are paying for now

A flat per-sale fee that punishes small tickets hardest
A monthly licence for the kitchen screen you already bought
Scheduling billed per barista, on top of the base plan
Online ordering as a separate line item

Built for trucks

One bar of signal should not close the window.

Trucks work festivals, lots and side streets where the connection comes and goes. ArkSlate keeps taking orders offline and syncs the moment it can — and the price stays flat wherever you park.

Open the food trucks page

What you are paying for now

A register that stalls the second the signal drops
Multi-year contracts signed for a business that moves every day
Per-employee fees on a crew that changes by the season
Online ordering priced as an add-on you cannot skip

Built for quick service

You are paying rent on screens you already own.

Two kitchen displays, a scheduling add-on billed per employee and an online ordering line item add up to hundreds a month — on top of the base plan, before a single order is rung.

Built for the dining room

A two-year contract for software you can leave in a month.

The floor plan, the reservations book, the kitchen screens and the servers are all one system here — priced flat, month to month, with every seat included.

What you are paying for now

Two- and three-year commitments before you know if it fits
Per-server and per-employee fees as the dining room staffs up

Built for the shop floor

A cash register is not an inventory system.

Variants, vendors, purchase orders and transfers belong in the same place you ring the sale — not in a spreadsheet you reconcile on Sunday, and not behind a higher tier.

Open the retail shops page

What you are paying for now

Real inventory locked behind an upgrade
Three-year hardware-and-software contracts
Purchase orders and vendor management handled in spreadsheets
Per-location fees that punish a second shop

Built for water care

Every technician you hire should not raise the bill.

Per-seat software quietly taxes growth: each new tech is another monthly fee. ArkSlate is flat, with unlimited logins, and it keeps the chemistry, the photos and the parts on the customer record.

Open the hot tub & pool service page

What you are paying for now

A monthly fee for every technician you add
Texting and phone metered as add-ons
No parts inventory, so the truck stock lives in someone’s head
Recurring maintenance plans tracked in a spreadsheet

Built for the trades

Per-seat pricing charges you for growing.

HVAC, plumbing, electrical: the work is the same, and so is the software tax. Every tech you add costs another monthly fee — until the software costs more than the truck it rides in.

Open the field service page

What you are paying for now

A per-user fee on every technician and office seat
Texting metered, phone billed by the minute
No parts inventory anywhere in the product
Accounting as a one-way sync into something else you pay for
