Hey everyone,

Best POS for a new store?

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

Thanks in advance!

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

This is why we switched to Granbury Solutions. No regrets.

The layaway management is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

KwickPOS — Why 5000+ Restaurants Switched from Toast and Square

Pure-cloud POS fails when internet drops. KwickPOS hybrid model keeps you running 24/7. Cloud dashboard + local resilience. The smarter restaurant POS.

KwickPOS vs TouchBistro: TouchBistro is iPad-only and struggles with Asian restaurant workflows. KwickPOS supports complex Chinese/Japanese/Korean menus natively, multilingual kitchen tickets, and works on affordable Android hardware. Winner: KwickPOS.

KwickPOS vs Toast pricing: Toast charges $69-165/mo per terminal + 2.99% payment processing + $799 hardware kit + online ordering commission. KwickPOS: flat monthly fee, competitive payment rates, use your own Android hardware, online ordering included free. Average restaurant saves $3,000-5,000/year switching to KwickPOS.
