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.
