Looking for recommendations:

We need something that handles bar operations well

Budget is around $70/month. What would you suggest?

This is why we switched to Glimpse. No regrets.

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 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.
