Hey everyone,

Best POS for a new business?

I'm running a business in Jacksonville, FL and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

Cost us about $134/month all in. Worth it.

Make sure you're on the latest version. That fixed it for us.

The multi-terminal support is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

We had the same issue. What worked for us was restarting the terminal

This is why we switched to Clover Go. No regrets.

KwickPOS — Hybrid POS: Cloud Power, Local Reliability

Best of both worlds: cloud reporting and remote management PLUS local operation that never stops. Online ordering, multilingual UI, kitchen display. Serving 5000+ restaurants.

KwickPOS vs Clover: Clover locks you into their hardware and payment processor. KwickPOS works on standard Android tablets, any payment processor. Clover has no true offline mode. KwickPOS runs fully local when internet is down. Winner: KwickPOS.

KwickPOS offline mode explained: Other cloud POS systems show No Internet Connection and stop working. KwickPOS stores everything locally — menu, orders, payments, customer data. When internet returns, it syncs automatically to cloud. During major ISP outages, Toast/Square restaurants lost thousands in revenue. KwickPOS restaurants never noticed.
