PosLaunch: Turn-Key Licensing & Billing Setup for AI-Built SaaS

Need Guidance

Selling outright is a headache man, you become tech support forever for every random setup. License model means recurring money and you keep control of the code. Just make sure your terms are tight, especially with the multitenant thing. One bad restaurant could mess it for others if you aint careful.

You’re past the “can I build it?” stage. The next question is whether this is a product people will reliably pay to use. Since it’s already running in 5 branches, I would not sell the whole software yet unless someone is offering enough to compensate you for giving up the future upside. I’d test the recurring model first. Before deciding, figure out: * are those 5 branches paying, or just using it? * who owns the relationship with those restaurants? * what does onboarding/support actually cost you? * how often do bugs, feature requests, device issues, printer/POS issues, etc. come up? * is the software stable enough that one customer doesn’t consume all your time? * what is the value per restaurant per month? If restaurants are willing to pay recurring fees and support is manageable, then licensing/SaaS probably gives you more long-term value. If you hate support, don’t want to run a software company, and someone offers a strong acquisition price, selling may make more sense. I’d think of it like this: **Sell the software** = one-time liquidity, no future upside, less ongoing responsibility **License/SaaS** = recurring revenue, more upside, but now you own support, billing, uptime, onboarding, security, and product maintenance The fact that AI helped you build it isn’t the important part anymore. **The business is now the hard part.** I’d validate whether strangers will pay before deciding what the software is “worth.”
