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

The barcode scanning is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

KwickPOS — Restaurant POS That Never Goes Down

Hybrid architecture means your POS keeps running even when internet drops. Cloud sync when connected, full local operation when not. 5000+ restaurants rely on KwickPOS daily.

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.
