Pros

“But there’s not so many options to organize the inventory or change settings for discounts and taxes, so sometimes we need to find workarounds or do it manually after the day.”

Robert F.

Sales Representative

“We (our team) may need to explore this function as we might be missing something, but it feels like this process could be streamlined as adding customer details when you have a queue of customers feels like it takes perhaps a little longer than is comfortable for customers.”

Elizabeth W.

Finance team

“We also like that you can record cash sales too, not just card sales, giving you a complete picture.”

Elizabeth W.

Finance team

Pros

“The POS and printers are significately faster, and once you master the menu-building logic, it offers more flexibility than our previous setup. While the onboarding process was a bit of a self-taught journey and the software has a few quirks-particularly regarding paper usage and takeout workflows-the core engine is powerful.”

Imtiaz A.

Officer, Key Accounts

“Tiered pricing means that some features are locked behind a paywall, and the limits on the number of point of sale connected devices can stop you from having mobile ordering.”

James M.

Manager

“It feels like a powerful engine that lacks a user-friendly manual; it is capable of handling high volumes, but getting the workflow "just right" for a specific business model requires patience and a fair amount of independent troubleshooting.”

Imtiaz A.

Officer, Key Accounts

Cons

“A customer database was only recently added and it is very simple without good reports, and without the ability to upload existing customer information.”

Gina W.

Owner

“It has been way too long that my legitimate business has not been able to withdraw MY money, or process credit card payments from my customers.”

Gina W.

Owner

“As of today, after many calls, the still have not fixed the issue so I feel I was lured in by promise of a working capital loan if I met certain requirements, then I did everything right and boom, bait and switch, no loan for zettle users.”

Ricky G.

Hairstylist

Cons

“Workflow Problems: Some processes such as handling takeaway orders and reversing charges require additional efforts and involve back office processes, making services slow.”

Imtiaz A.

Officer, Key Accounts

“It is not personalizable; if it doesn't include functions that you need, it is VERY hard to have them implemented.”

Giovanni P.

IT Manager

“rd party delivery integration: Integrating with delivery platforms like uber, doordash, grubhub and others has remained very difficult. ”

John B.

Owner and Manager
