Pros

The support has an amazing actitud and vibe. They are on top of things to help the user.
After years of use, my favorite thing about Checkfront is the helpful support team. They always provide detailed, competent and helpful answers.
Ease of use, very intuitive. I was nervous about the quality of the support after our free trial expired, but have found Checkfront staff to be very helpful and responsive to all of my questions.

Pros

Not only is the software user friendly and easily managed by our employees, but the SS customer support is outstanding.
From the immediate, responsive communication, to the comprehensive training, integration with adwords & analytics, to the generous and useful "Welcome Aboard" gift, these folks have it FIGURED OUT.
I like working with smaller companies that have excellent customer service.

Cons

Extremely disenchanted with the service. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO BLOW CUSTOMERS OFF--how UNPROFESSIONAL.
Monthly cost is quite high- we are a very small business and no discounts available and packages unable to be tailored to our needs so we are paying for things we do not require.
During covid, the hibernation plan means that your website goes offline.

Cons

I was worried that it would take a lot of time to get our people up and running and it really did not.
Customers get very confused by putting their vouchers in from groupon. They have to call and need to be walked through every step because they can't figure it out on their own.
I also find the calendar to be rather bulky, and find myself missing our simpler calendar from our previous reservation platform. Having said that, about 95% of their service IS customizable.

Its greatness is in ease of us and gooood support

Reviewed 7 years ago

THe product itself offer very nice features, but my review won't be about them. Explore by yourself and you'll see. What it TRULY makes the difference are the people behind this company: I've been client with them for a compnay first and then I turned to be a "prospect customer" anonymously for another company, and I have always been surprised by the customer service quality. - fast responses ...
