Quick question for the community:

We're trying to figure out the best approach for our salon

Would love to hear from others who've dealt with this.

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

The commission tracking is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

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.
