Questions

How much does Nory cost?
Nory doesn't publish its prices; you book a demo for a quote. Quokka is £39 per site per month with every feature.
Can I use Quokka with my rota app?
Yes. Quokka doesn't do rotas. Put your weekly wage bill or staff hours into running costs and it shows your estimated net profit after wages.
Does Quokka work with my till?
Square connects directly. SumUp, Zettle, Lightspeed and others work by dropping in a sales export, matched once and remembered.
