    Pros:
    The full control we have to customize the menu according to our specific needs.
    Cons:
    There are multiple improvements needed as the solution takes on more clients but the biggest one would be to have a transactions showing up as actual transactions vs "custom amount" for better reporting of sales. Dash boarding capabilities to perform quick actions at the store level and company wide level.

    Cons:
    Sometimes the system goes down. Every time we add a new selection we must reimport menu and add all times again and category pics and rearrange the order

    Vendor Response

    Hi John, thanks for your review of KioskBuddy! Great to hear the good feedback about our customer support! With reimporting, current KioskBuddy settings such as time controls and order of items should not be affected. If there are new additions when reimporting, this does require manual steps to apply new desired settings. The current design of KioskBuddy is to keep a "copy" of your Square Item Library, so reimporting is necessary if changes are made to your Square Item Library. We're working to improve this functionality. If you have any additional comments or feedback, we'd love to hear from you - support@kioskbuddy.app

    Near perfect solution for our self-service store

    Pros:
    We operate an "honor system" farm store and Kiosk Buddy allows us to accept credit cards, gift cards, and cash and ensure accurate collection and reporting of sales taxes. What's more, the v3 beta build offers a seamless, intuitive interface with Square so customers can easily handle self-checkout and payment with little to no assistance.
    Cons:
    Three minor issues that we would like to resolve: 1) With the current V3 beta the app doesn't always automatically refresh when the catalog is reimported from Square. This problem forces us to restart the app every time a reimport is performed, which is needed frequently in our store. 2) We would like to change the "Place Order" button on the screen when the customer is paying with cash. "Finish" would be a better text for store checkout.3) When checking out, the "Continue" button on the payment type (cash/credit) screen is not intuitive for customers. They often don't realize they must select continue after pressing the payment method.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Jeremy, thank you so much for your thought out review! We love "honor system" use cases at small farms! :) For issue #1, there is no need to restart the app when you reimport your menu on the KioskBuddy Dashboard. From the KioskBuddy app, the changes you make from the KioskBuddy Dashboard should automatically be reflected in realtime! We will take your feedback on issues #2 and #3 for future improvements! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other feedback or concerns!

    Pros:
    We have been using kiosk buddy for about 4 months now. Before, we were able to accept cash, check and venmo. The ability to take credit/debit cards has been very helpful to our customers! The interface is easy to use and it seems to be self explanatory to our customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a way to offer products through retail but don't want to be staffed during open hours.
    Cons:
    We have had a few issues with it getting stuck at check out. We also would like to have a place at the end to allow a venmo/cashapp scan to pay screen pop up. It would also be nice to have an option to put in a number without selecting a product.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Danielle, thanks so much for your review! We're happy to be working at your self-service farm store! :) Also happy to hear the positive customer service feedback! At this time, we don't support Venmo nor Cash App, but we have noted this down as a feature request.

    Pros:
    The integration with all our items and locations on our Square account. Like the improvements in the beta version for reporting.
    Cons:
    Couldn't enter gift card numbers manually until the beta version. Now the split payment is not intuitive when trying to use a remaining balance on a gift card. The payment page is a little confusing for customers as they are "grayed out" except for the default.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Greta, thanks so much for your review! We're so happy to hear KioskBuddy working at your self-serve farm stand! :) In v3 Beta Build 210, we've added a helpful message for gift card usage. In the event of an insufficient gift card balance and if you have Split Payments enabled, the customer should see a message that says "Gift card has insufficient funds. Please use the Split Payments option." This should help direct your customers to the appropriate payment setting. Thank you for your feedback on the "grayed out" payment options - at this time, that is the only style design, but we will take your feedback into consideration to help improve these buttons. If you have further feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@kioskbuddy.app - thanks!

    Pros:
    The product was easy to set up for us. We're a mobile business with varying schedules throughout the year so it's great to be able to pause the subscription if need be. The interface is easy for customers to use, and it integrates well with Square.
    Cons:
    I think the way the reports transfer to Square could be improved. If I remember correctly, the sales tax is wrapped into the total. We also didn't have a quick and easy way to see what category of food/bev had the most sales. For example, we wanted to see how many of our drinks sold at farmers markets, but we weren't able to look at a report that gave us that information quickly.

    I actually chose this to begin with and it's been great.
