Brink POS review

Reviewed 10 months ago

The customer service is what takes Brink to the next level. The phone is always answered, and my problems are resolved quickly. I also never have to press numbers to get through to someone. A real person answers the phone and quickly gets me to where i need to go.

Pros

I like the customizable feature. My IT guys can fix many issues that we have ringing orders in.

Cons

One area that could be improved is "adjusting total" for the customer if an item had been left out. On ALOHA we could delete the item that was left out and it would adjust the new subtotal to the card that was run for that order. With Brink we have to do a separate refund for the one item. I think this is less convenient for the customer.

Great idea, abysmal support and implantation of features

Reviewed 8 years ago

We purchased Brink just before the sale to ParTech. Agent sold us on the dream of a single source of truth in our data that could be easily accessed via API and a robust cloud based solution that removes the BOH computer from our stores. Alas, the dream is much better than reality. Almost 2 years in, the API continues to lag what were originally told it would do and rollout of new features is...

Pros

The idea that was originally sold to us. Cloud based with a truly open and useful API.

Cons

The support, the lack of fully developed features, the API that continues to disallow useful integrations

Great enterprise solution with opportunities yet for the traditional pizza players

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

We have business insights in real time with Brink being a cloud-based solution. This also means updates can be pushed out to locations immediately with very minimal lag time. Their menu management services are also ideal for our brand's needs.

Cons

While it is easy to use, it isn't ideal for the traditional pizzeria at this time due to the lack of in-house delivery functionality as well as the challenge that the pizza category brings to the table regarding menu build out (half and half, one for one ingredient substitutions, multiple sizes of the same item, etc.)
