Restaurant POS Breakdowns
Restaurants struggle with unreliable, poorly integrated POS systems that break during service and fail to match their workflow, hardware, and pricing needs.
In their words
the price of all these proprietary softwares is insane
What I need built — the software layer that sits on top of the Gateway
Restaurant Manager was bought by shift 4 a few years back and now they’re making it obsolete.
So instead of someone calling me, they stop my business to try and sell me a new POS system….
every time they do an update all of our settings are lost and the cycle starts again
We currently use HotSchedules, but are looking for a more affordable option
Just got here to see this. No its not able to be fixed today
We started using toast 3 months ago and in the last 6 weeks guest counts and sales have decreased hard.
the quote comes bundled with hardware and an annual contract, GST on top, and then the modules you need (inventory, QR ordering, reports) are add-ons that roughly double it
i dont understand why waho wont just invest in a pos system of some sort to resolve the many pricing issues that eat into their bottom line
None of our computers work... Some customers are able to place orders and get charged and are calling us mad that they don't have their order
Is it better to just bite the bullet on the big POS contracts early on for the rates, or is there a smarter way to bootstrap this?
I want to be able to connect that spend and transaction data to a marketing system that triggers different offers depending on the customer segment.

Why those fall short
- no standard seat numbers; POS lacks easy split; runners auction food
- POS allows adding items to closed bills but no automated sauce tracking
- POS lacks seat numbers and easy check splitting; old system not conducive
- guests dislike handhelds; no line items; ordering takes longer
- readers and entire system down; Apple Pay needs separate handheld and POS trips
