We had the same issue. What worked for us was reconfiguring the network settings

The inventory by pour is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

KwickPOS — Cloud POS with Offline Protection

Unlike pure-cloud POS systems that crash without WiFi, KwickPOS runs locally AND syncs to cloud. Built for busy restaurants that cannot afford downtime.

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.
