VERDICT

Should I use Peppr?

Restaurant tech that drives sales. AI marketing, commission-free ordering, and reliable POS. Local support, no contracts. - peppr.com

Skip. Independent restaurants already on Peppr should plan migration before March 31, 2026, when the company ceases all U.S. operations. New buyers should not sign with a POS vendor that is winding down, regardless of the no-contracts pitch.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 7 relevant public sources; shutdown report is single-source; no pricing or independent user reviews found. Note: usepeppr.ai and peppr.io appear to be unrelated products sharing the Peppr name.
