Perfect for my small business. The best part for me is the staff at ACE who are always available, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly.

POS computer died, has to purchase a new one and get the software loaded and operational overnight.

The software for the most part is easy to use once you are all set up and going. Support team is wonderful in helping with any question at all.

Very user friendly, easy to train volunteers, financial reports are good, technical support is very good.

Worksheet price editing - amazing for having to change multiple prices in a flash.

The support team at ACE were pretty amazing in helping us and continue to be a good source as we make our way through the ins and outs.

The price point was great for a POS with so many features.

Seems to crash almost every time there is any new major update from Windows. Ace wouldn't start up or there are other issues which prevent from from making sales.

Since they partnered with Shopify, the website integration with ACE is pretty easy and straightforward.

It is a very manual process to begin, but includes features like live inventory and auto syncing sales to ACE.

Wouldn't say that there are any disadvantages at the moment.

Affordable, good customer service, good software for retail, easy to use, has a really good inventory module, and good reporting.

We love that our inventory is easily controlled with this program; vendor purchases are perfectly integrated with the sales aspect.

ACE has one of the best customer service teams I've encountered. They are very quick to respond to issues and questions and are very helpful.

This software is so easy for our staff to use in the retail industry. It allows our staff to attend to other daily task.

Being able to quickly see which vendors products are selling the best is a huge asset to me. The easy connection with Quickbooks saves me a LOT of time in my bookkeeping.

The software is easy to use on  everyday business transactions.

The value compared to cloud based POS systems that require a monthly fee is outstanding. Also love the webstore integration which has helped me attract more customers.

Ease of making a sale, reports, inventory, receiving and invoicing is all right there, easy to access.

The software is sometimes hard to maneuver and figure out.

Don provided a hands-on approach and provided quick responses to my many questions. I would recommend ACE for any retail business environment.

The details that this software is able to provide and keep track of is amazing.

I have yet to find any aspect of the software  that is a problem.

You can use me as a sounding board if you need some guidance on making it a killer feature.

No mobile app available and workstations are unable to work independently off line for short periods of time if there is an unexpected interruption in the network connection.

Toast is amazing it not only can handle on the fly menu changes, but can also work as your punch clock. Runs very smoothly on android os.

Overall, it is a simplified, intuitive and easy to manage POS offering that is a great fit for any small business.

Nice features and ways to set up the menu for ease of use by employees. User-friendly up to a certain extent.

The idea of everything they have is wonderful. I guess the best thing is they do deposit the money pretty quickly.

Install was a total disaster and cost our company over 40K in losses. They refused to take responsibility for their failures.

Took 4 months to get someone to finally review the credit card charges only for him to “shine me on” which is frustrating to a business owner.

What I liked about Toast was how easy the integration was for our management team and staff. I would highly recommend.

In training new teams they offer a great program and support team. The layout is ideal for high-volume.

After over a year the restaurant is still super happy with the switch.

Very feature rich with a robust online delivery platform that seamlessly integrates with the POS solution.

The timing features for happy hour pricing, the ease of use for customers and staff, inventory use, ease of changing items on the fly during service. Such a great product for fast casual use.

Very intuitive software and mobile friendly. Excellent customer service, very willing to help.

Synchronization is almost immediate and we have seen a huge increase in online ordering already. The self service kiosk was easy to setup and has a great look and feel.

The benefits from Toast were great. Unfortunately I don't work at a restaurant with Toast anymore.

But Toast is happy to have their popup promoting their app on your restaurant page.).

TOAST is a solid point of sale system available for a very reasonable price. Adding, editing and removing menu items can be done quickly and remotely.

Very pleased with our decision to replace our old solution with Toast.

Customer Support Inadequate and Multiple Charges on customer accounts.

The reporting is awesome and when used the right way, you have your answers to questions you didn't even know you needed to ask.

I have used this and thoroughly enjoyed it. The handheld feature is the best.

Wait times are often ridiculous. And they are not timely with replies at all.

Bar staff likes software. Simplicity and integration low rate.

Integrations, ease of use, flexibility of what parts you wish to use, interest in feedback, hardware is amazing.

Toast reps and customer service do not return calls. Credit card charges duplicate weekly on multiple customers accounts for no reason.

I have gone from recommending TOAST to experiencing extreme frustration w/ terrible customer service.

It is now June 27th and the ticket is still open and no one has responded. Their customer service is the WORST.

Unable to customize location picker page. They claim that they are the payment processors but fail to take responsibility or help with disputes.

Software is very easy to use. Pos system is good, not very colorful but still easy to maneuver.

You end up paying more in lost time, chargeback fees, and waste money on a subscription that doesn't even provide you with enough support.

Printer routing and other back of house set up is a breeze. Customer service staff is well trained and very reliable.

It will run many reports that are helpful. The connection to a mobile phone is great because you can do almost anything from the mobile phone that you can do from the desktop.

And do it all in one place - is awesome. And the fact that it is all so easy and user friendly is just a bonus.

TOAST is actually one of the worst POS systems you can use. I have been a restaurant industry veteran on the owner's side for over a decade.

It was seamless it integrate our products onto the software prior to opening. The kitchen display screen is a lifesaver.

For example, sorry, but we are out of this item or here's how we are doing curbside pickup, etc. There is only a teeny, tiny way to notify guests with a small banner atop your page that no one sees.

I've been trying to set up online ordering for weeks now. It's been counting a lot of problems because of the basic lack of customer support.

As a GM, the reporting was user friendly and easy to generate. It was so mainstream and I love that automatic reports I could sent up to send to myself every day.

I like the way the screen looks - it’s visually appealing. Ve only used it briefly at a restaurant as a hostess, but it worked just fine.

Great customer service, great price, extremely user friendly, amazing features.
