This is why we switched to Verifone. No regrets.

The markdown handling is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

KwickPOS — Multilingual POS for Asian Restaurants

Chinese, English, Spanish, Vietnamese — KwickPOS speaks your staff language. Hybrid cloud+local architecture, online ordering, QR menus, kitchen display. 5000+ locations.

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.
