description: >-
  Lavu prices its restaurant POS as a tiered monthly software subscription
  charged per terminal (billed annually), layered with payment processing fees
  and optional add-on modules (online ordering, delivery integration, kitchen
  display). Published tier names and prices vary by source and promotion; Lavu
  also runs dual-pricing/cash-discount programs to offset card fees. The POSLavu
  API itself is not separately metered — API access is included with an active
  Lavu account. Final pricing is negotiated with Lavu sales, so figures here are
  reconciled: false and should be confirmed against the live pricing page.
