What users say about Toast POS's value for money

Love the software and so does our staff. Expansion options were a major consideration as we have more takeout locations opening so this was a winning solution for us.
I've been trying to set up online ordering for weeks now. It's been counting a lot of problems because of the basic lack of customer support.

The biggest problem is that they oversold and under delivered. They told me that all my current printers would work with their requirements.
We never used hey second of their service and still they stole our money. High pressure criminals who will do ANYTHING to get your money.

What users say about Epos Now's value for money

Probably the worst over customer experience I have had across any industry. And this is not after one bad experience, this is spanning 3+ years.
Insistence that the problem was Xero for over a week was frustrating until eventually a functioning link was established to the API (not a Xero problem). Then the problems really started.

Our onboarding specialist [SENSITIVE CONTENT] did a great job and walked us through any difficulties as we learned and installed. Our Customer Success Manager [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been awesome.
I love that I can customize the system as I want and edit very easy. I like that there are tons of options to create and easy to find.

What users say about Square Point of Sale's value for money

The greatest benefit that came from this software, for me, is the ability to conduct business, specifically, complete a payment transaction, no matter where you are located.
Square is an awesome piece of software to use. The retail side has great capabilities for sales, inventory, gift cards, rewards, and much much more.
