Looking for recommendations:

We need something that handles cafe operations well

Budget is around $155/month. What would you suggest?

The modifier handling is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

Cost us about $185/month all in. Worth it.

This is why we switched to Postmates. No regrets.

We had the same issue. What worked for us was clearing the cache

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.
