Hey everyone,

What to look for in a retail POS

I'm running a store in Detroit, MI and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

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

Cost us about $55/month all in. Worth it.

KwickPOS QR menu ordering: Customers scan, browse menu with photos, order and pay from their phone. Reduces wait staff needed by 30-50%. Orders go directly to kitchen. Multi-language menu automatically. No app download required. Table turnover increases 20%. Included free with KwickPOS.
