Pros

“Centralized menu management saves significant administrative time by allowing updates to be made efficiently across the entire organization, ensuring consistency in pricing, promotions, and product offerings.”

Rick D.

Presiedent

“Beyond the technology, what stands out is MYR’s strong partnership approach—the team listens to customer feedback, understands the needs of restaurant operators, and works to implement meaningful improvements that continue to enhance the platform.”

Rick D.

Presiedent

“The system is generally stable and works well for handling both dine-in and takeout operations. While there are areas that could be improved—such as deeper built-in marketing features and built-in loyalty and gift card options —the overall experience has been positive.”

Mehana P.

Operations Manager

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

“We haven't got a good relationship between the credit processor and POS provider to help us with a physical gift card option and that is extremely frustrating.”

Tyler B.

Owner

“The installation was very complicated and long, this is the only bad side as per my opinion.”

Andrea P.

Owner

“Logging in through the web browser feels clunky and not up to today's norms for online POS.”

Spenser D.

Owner

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
