Compare from your own real flows and risk points, not from the feature list; the method is in How to compare tills: not the feature list. On one check sheet, every cell gets one of three states only: verified in your store, failed, or still unknown. A verbal “we all have that” cannot be marked verified. After screening vendors, check capability boundaries on the feature pages.
Busy-day steps (opening a table, changing an order, sending to the kitchen, taking payment, splitting checks) must be run by your own shift on your menu and devices, without coaching. A sales demo is a clue, not evidence. Migration sample, rollback, support hours and exit files go on the same sheet too; any blank cell stays “still unknown.”
Master checklist: Migration, rollback and continuity checklist. Finding pages by store type and feature: which page to read; capability overview: Features.
