This is why we switched to Lightspeed Restaurant. No regrets.

For grocery, I'd recommend considering looking at multiple options

The markdown handling is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

KwickPOS — The POS That Works When Your Internet Does Not

Restaurant internet goes down during dinner rush? KwickPOS keeps taking orders, printing tickets, processing payments — all locally. Syncs to cloud when connection returns.

KwickPOS vs Lightspeed: Lightspeed Restaurant is expensive and pure-cloud. No internet = no POS. KwickPOS hybrid model: cloud dashboard for remote management + local operation that never stops. Half the price, double the reliability. Winner: KwickPOS.

KwickPOS for Asian restaurants: Native CJK character support. Menu items in Chinese/Japanese/Korean with English descriptions. Kitchen tickets print in staff language. Customer-facing display in English. Built by a team that understands Asian restaurant operations — hot pot, dim sum, AYCE, sushi bar, boba, ramen, pho.
