I like the ease of use and the different reports offered. They also have a lot of tools that come with the software, from POS to customer loyalty.

Completely ignore me and don't solve the problem. I had to follow up with emails asking them where we were at with fixing the issue and no response.

Overall it works great with ADP interface for timekeeping.

Go with a competitor like Toast, Clover, or Square if you don't want to lose money. We are a 27-year old, 2nd generation family operated small business.

This system is very difficult to use for back office input. There is no accounting software that it links easily to.

They do not return phone calls or emails, routinely overcharge my account, deduct money without warning for chargebacks that I have no knowledge of or have received no paperwork regarding.

It was clunky and hard to integrate with our business that was expanding. When we incorporated more online orders/catering software this program wasn't keeping up to our standards.

When downloaded new version, lost most of old stuff.

Setting up the system was a horrible experience. There were no less than 3 trained technicians working on the install, yet it took 4 painful weeks to finally get it working the way it should.

Limited additional software upgrades. Lack of reporting options/ We use secondary program to generate reports (CTUIT).

It is in my opinion after working with others the best on the market. It sometimes has issues but most people in the customer service department fix them promptly.

Different functions available at different places I've worked at. If there is ever a power outage there is no built in backup battery or access to the open checks.

Once you understood the setup and features it was easy to use and train staff on. It was also nice you could create multiple gift cards at once.

Back of the house Simple The program wants me to keep writing here evidently they are looking for more positive things to say about their company good computer trick.

Great system for a work horse. Make sure it has all the features you are looking for.

Contacting the customer support, they don't have an attitude, neither do they have a clue or solution to the problem. They say no one else is having THAT problem, but I doubt it.

And when we do the customer service is helpful and responsive. Occasionally it is hard to figure out without adding on additional packages but it is a good POS.

Overall this product works very well, and is very easy to figure out if you sit and learn for a bit. There are many integrated functions that allow us to do many things within the system.

Aloha is amazing if you know how to work it. You can run everything through it, reports, inventory, sales.

And now that we ask for our contract to be broken, they chain us to it.

Customer Service, their management, and the lack there-of.

They software and equipment often shut downs or fails in the middle of a show. Which means we miss out on sales.

Never stays online, system goes down all the time  terrible. No one wants to properly fix it  they want to pass it on via email and leave you with no system.

The amount of modifiers per entree items help with being intuitive and helps with server training as well.

Unstable, we had so many issues with the product going down at least every other week and the support is so difficult that it literally would take hours to get it back up.

Very happy with the daily operation it provides. We love the rewards program and the gift card features (for additional monthly fee) it has.

I love that it integrates with online ordering. It is user-friendly and the reports are in real time.

Also, My website is easier to use from a cell phone now. It's worth paying the extra money for each month.

Customer service has always been helpful if I had a question or issue. The software has integrated well with my QuickBooks software so that's been helpful as I'm learning QB.

I had trouble with my labels in the printing mode. I use a different size of label than they have on file.

The product is incredibly user friendly, can be used on any device (not tied to a license on one desktop machine like other systems) and support is great.

Every one has been wonderful beyond any expectations. Thank you to each and every one of them.

But we are happy with the functionality and effectiveness of Rain. The fact that Rain is continually improving and updating their system has only increased our satisfaction over the years.

Disappointing compared to the hype of what you are getting.

He literally told me that Rep is innocent until proven guilty. Customer service at its finest.

Lack of integration with shipping companies. Cumbersome uploads to QuickBooks.

They are constantly improving, updating and listening to customer suggestions to make their product even better.

I've had at least 2-3 calls to different technicians ag in a row where I just felt bad for even calling.

Rental, class, and automatically populating the website is a big help for us saving time. It hasn't really made us more money as advertised.

Overall, my experience has been quite positive. In fact I have recommended them to other local business owners.

The word processor can be a problem when trying to change font sizes.

I was using another online web service when I heard about Rain (Like Sew). I like what they were offering and the price was great compared to what I was paying.

RAIN was super helpful in transferring our data from our old POS system (TRS) to their system. It has been easy to train staff to use the system.

Label printing is terrible. No dimension option for shipping calculations.

I like how integrated everything is - purchasing, receiving inventory, online and in-store transactions. Adding new products through almost any of my vendors is fast and easy.

The layouts were clean and simple. The customer support was generally responsive when we needed their help.

I want to upload my own pretty newsletter and not have it get distorted. Using the newsletter feature on the site is boring.

Tech support is wonderful. They are constantly updating and improving the software.

I love that they're always improving it and take our input.

My longtime email address was now blocked from sending. I had to purchase a business email and the integration was rather difficult.

We have recommended the product to quite a few other shops and want to make sure that it fits their accounting needs as well.

Product is very easy to use. It's nice that I can put items on my website right from the product page.

The fact that everything was based on the internet meant that we couldn’t use the cash register. This led to a loss of sales.

Happy, just keep the costs down. Remember we are not selling iPhones or over-priced clothes.
