manager

Cons

“No features adapted to life outside of the US, even though customer support spent literally 2 hours with you on the phone (after trying to reach them for 5 days in a row with 12+ hours delay as we are located in Asia) and swearing that your features are going to be added in the near future”
MA

Matt A.

Owner

“They have tried to over bill me multiple times when the contract renews and you spend hours trying to fight them on it. ”
JM

John M.

Owner

“Support is terrible- if you speak only English you will have a hard time understanding any of them- and their lack of knowledge about their own products is absolutely atrocious as are their communications. ”
JM

John M.

Owner

Cons

“There is no escalation path, no public developer email that works (partner-support@ bounces), and no visibility into where your request sits in their pipeline.”

Michael S.

Chief Mischief Officer

“Prices are wrong, discounts are added instead of subtracted, gratuity can’t be added, printers malfunction, systems lose connectivity to the internet, handhelds don’t work, back up cell service fails, tickets won’t print to the kitchen, the list continues.”
KG

Kris G.

Owner

“There were also occasional limitations in reporting depth, which made deeper analysis more challenging for more complex operational needs.”
