Functionality without sacrificing nice UX

We use Poster at family business (two venues - bar and a pub). Overall, it has been a great experience. It is easy to record the orders (it is a great advantage during busy evenings).
The system is stable. We haven't noticed any serious bugs, loss of data, etc.

Pros

* The ability to use tablet instead of the massive computer (cool for places with limited space)
* access analytics from any device
* Poster has almost all set of features for restaurant management
* good API

Cons

Not a big disadvantage, but there are pretty few systems Poster integrates with. However, as mentioned API is well documented, so you can always connect the apps manually.

Simple, Versatile and Smart! In a word, Underrated!

I have been a Poster user for a few years now and witnessed a constant improvement with their product. Since Covid-19 had impacted many businesses, Poster POS, was one of the first to positively react to this, and by understanding the market contraction, it was able to offer solutions, never thought of before.
This is one to watch!

Pros

This POS Software can literally run on any device you have! Even your old laptop, once it can surf the web, can open a POS instance. The way this POS has been built makes it viable for numerous applications.
It is up there with Toast, Revel, or any other "leading" Companies, claiming to have the best.

Cons

Cannot send PO via email, internally. Big downside. My advice to the developers is to work on this asap. Many companies are using third-party inventory and purchasing software to compensate for this.

Excellent Bar/Restaurant Management System

It makes running our small bar very easy. We have 15 tables and a stand up bar and the system is more than adequate for that. We are using two POS registers right now. One for the waiters and one for the cashier. We sometimes add in a third POS for an Iphone if we are in high season. We love that we can pause the third POS when it isn't needed and save money that way in the low season. Highly recommended system.

Pros

It is easy to use. It keeps track of all inventory and recipies. I love the POS system for the waiters as it is clear and straight forward. It's easy to see what is happening via the Poster Boss app. when I'm not there.

Cons

Would love to see a way to take payments via the same system so it is all integrated with the accounting end. Right now we have to use IZettle to process credit cards separately. Would love to be able to take the 'PAY' button completely off the waiter POS register (Hide it) to avoid problems of waiters accidentally closing out tickets without payment. Right now it is always visible and it causes problems from time to time.

Your stand-alone restaurant with Poster

Learning to use it is very easy and intuitive, it does not require too much time to be able to manipulate the equipment, which makes it wonderful when training a new person in the cashier area, since you can do it in a faster and more efficient way.

Pros

I love that I can check the status of the restaurant, the tables that are available, how long a table has been open and also get the customer's account right away.
It also allows me to make reports by customers and waiters, as well as control the discounts or courtesies that can be granted within the restaurant.

Cons

The only thing I would change is to allow the tip to be added to the room charges for the Cloudbeds system.

The best solution available in the market

When we launched our bistro, we were looking for a cloud software which can run on a tablet. The market only offered old fashioned solutions with big PC-s and servers required, so we decided to look for an app from abroad. We've never experienced any disadvantage by using foreign software as it is 100% adjustable to your business.

Pros

It was easy to set up, and it's easy to use, not just from the management-side, but also at the counter. The colleagues love it. It provides insights in a blink of an eye which would require more hours to do manually. It truly saves a lot of time.

Cons

The monthly pricing can get expensive if you are in a country where the currency is not EUR or USD.

Poster has facilitated the processes

Actually Poster exceeded my expectations.
The price quality ratio is very high and the reports that are generated automatically facilitate the flow of information, the system is very intuitive and the online manuals facilitate learning as well as being timely.

Pros

The quality and price ratio is high, we have had other systems, and Poster is easy, dynamic and very intuitive, so the processes have diminished in time.
Reprocesses are eliminated and the controls of the areas are properly carried out.

Cons

maybe only the limit of terminal points. which are at extra cost

And I would like you to add the concept of Accounts Receivable

Cool design! So intuitive and user-friendly back office!

Everything works perfect, since I began working with the Poster. Right now I can go on vacation with my family and not worry about what is happening in my restaurant! Because in every f*cking moment I can check all the transactions, order necessary goods or to enter new promotion for the next 2 weeks! The support is also great, this guys have the answers to all my questions!
Recommend for sure!

Buen Software Punto de Venta para restaurantes

MI experiencia ha sido, en general, bastante buena.

Pros

Es un sistema estable, bueno y confiable. Tiene opciones suficientes para la administración de comandas en el restaurante. El precio es bastante competitivo.

Cons

La configuración de l formato para impresión de tickets es limitada y, al menos con mi impresora mPOP Star Micronics no es posible aumentar el tamaño de letra (es demasiado pequeño) o definir que información incluir lo cual me ha generado confusiones en las ordenes tanto en cocina como con los clientes.Tampoco parece ser un software que reciba muchas actualizaciones o mejoras. Ayudaría mucho poder asignar un nombre a una mesa o pedido para llevar.

Excelente Sistema POS para Gestión de Restaurantes

Poster POS ayuda a eficientar el proceso de ventas en un nivel operativo, así como administrativo, permite un correcto y rápido proceso de atención a cliente, así como el seguimiento de métricas sobre productos, ventas, empleados, clientes, etc.

Pros

La intuitividad del sistema es excelente, el aprendizaje y ubicación de las funciones son fáciles de entender y por supuesto personalizables para cada tipo de necesidad.

Cons

Los costos adicionales por integración con algunas otras plataformas el cual a veces puede ser excesivo, como facturación, tarjetas digitales para programa de lealtad, plataformas delivery, así como la falta de Oz como medida para registrar materia prima en ingredientes para usar en las recetas.
