XPR vs Grubbrr
XPR and Grubbrr both add self-ordering on top of your existing POS, but they differ on platform depth. XPR kiosks run on Windows or Android and pair cloud menu management and reporting with a real-time ordering flow that keeps running through internet outages, plus native fleet management and a fully configurable UI. Grubbrr’s kiosks run on Android and Samsung Tizen and use a cloud-based order flow. Cloud-based ordering is typically susceptible to connectivity and performance issues.

Why operators choose XPR
Why operators choose XPR over Grubbrr
Runs on Windows or Android
XPR kiosks run on Windows (its largest installed base) or Android, so you can choose from a far wider range of hardware and form factors. Enterprise IT teams often prefer Windows for MDM, antivirus, and company-wide security policy. Grubbrr’s kiosks run on Android and Samsung Tizen.
Keeps selling when the internet drops
XPR is a hybrid platform: you manage menus and view sales reporting in the cloud, while the real-time ordering flow runs locally with payment store-and-forward — so kiosks keep taking orders during outages, then sync to the POS once the connection returns. You get cloud convenience without an internet dependency at the moment of sale. Grubbrr uses a cloud-based order flow. Cloud-based ordering is typically susceptible to internet connectivity and performance issues, such as outages or slow connections.
Native fleet management, built in
XPR Fleet Manager monitors connectivity, CPU, memory, disk, printer paper, and peripherals in real time, with remote restart and software updates across every kiosk — no separate third-party monitoring tool to license.
A UI you can make your own
XPR’s kiosk UI is highly configurable — layouts, items per screen, themes, fonts, colors, and workflow components all adapt to your brand and service model.
Direct, certified POS integrations
XPR integrates directly with Oracle Simphony (Transaction Services Gen2), PAR/Brink, Heartland/Genius, NCR Aloha and more — no Olo/Omnivore middleware layer, fees, or extra point of failure.
