Unreliable POS Systems
Retail and restaurant staff struggle with POS systems that crash, lag, lack essential features, and lock in data, causing lost sales and manual workarounds.
In their words
Toast got too greedy. They went after me for $90 a mo
There are a few very specific features my niche requires in a POS. I tried many but none solved these issues so I built my own
No percentage-per-sale software fees: Margins are already thin, so I don't want a POS company taking a cut of every transaction on top of normal card processing.
We pay $700 a month for toast. Started at $450, once we realized half the features we were missing we are up to $700
I'm looking for someone who has developed a feeder or connector to integrate digital signage with POS systems
I find the POS pro is wayyyyy overpriced for the difference between free and paid. I hate it but it’s the easiest way to track sales by employee.
the computers freeze in the entire region and can’t even load company pricing
ele colocou no sistema pra não emitir nota e não passar no caixa até que o cliente passe o cadastro completo
we aren’t allowed to turn it off because we need to falsify metrics to uphold this BS “score”
Both of our legacy register scanners shut themselves off at least once every four transactions, frequently multiple times in one transaction, leaving us to fight with the computer in front of customers.
You would think the drive thru worker, or system, or cooks would be able to figure out something wasn't right.
The POS in the salon doesn’t have an option for cash back, so we just have to ask people if they want to tip us or not?

Why those fall short
- outdated, slow, crash, log out, freeze during use
- register lags, crashes, and prompts slow scanning
- no pause function; void limits trigger write-ups
- systems outdated, not updated in over 10 years
- Devices decline gift cards, freeze, run out of battery, and connect to wrong readers.
