Excellent POS Software

Overall very excellent piece of software that suits our needs perfectly!

PROS

-Allows for a lot of reporting that alternatives did not allow -Easy to onboard new users, overall very simple to use, which is great for a business where onboarding new employees is fairly regular -Support is timely and effective

CONS

Had a couple minor reporting issues that required us to use some workarounds, but we were able to get what we needed in the end. Just required a little bit of "expertise" w/ the software. Hopefully support will see our emails and remedy the issue so nobody else has to "figure it out" on their own like we did, although it isn't the worst thing in the world.

Thrive POS

I would recommend Thrive POS to anyone opening an independent pizza shop.

PROS

Very functional for a Pizza place. Great Delivery program, online ordering platform, and it's easy to train new employees on how to use it.

CONS

There are constantly issues that take too long to resolve.

Reasons for switching to Thrive

Aloha does not have a great delivery platform.

Not but bad sales tactics make it horrifying

Absolutely miserable, I would consider every one from the salesman to the [sensitive content hidden] sketchy and dishonest.

PROS

Very goui friendly the online walk throughs

CONS

[sensitive content hidden] telling us that the call center feature and drive app was no charge and then sending me a huge bill later. They promise great innovation but every new feature has a charge i don’t understand why im paying a monthly bill when they want to charge me more for every feature or hide costs.

Reason for choosing Thrive

Price and promises of innovation that we didn’t know came at a price.

Reasons for switching to Thrive

False promises from thrive. I should’ve stayed

Thrive POS

The business problems we are solving is getting the reports that we need to make informed decisions on our business. The software makes training new employees easier and faster that the old days of Vitalink. We still need priorities to be made on solving the reporting issues I described before. And selling Add-on products that work properly.

PROS

Compared to what we were using, this software allowed us to do reporting we couldn't do before, and it is easy to teach new users to operate quickly.

CONS

Reporting is inaccurate, Daily summary report - numbers do not add up correctly and Thrive has not been able to explain how the numbers are calculated. Payroll reports- hours not reporting accurately causing us to overpay employees at times and employee confidence of being paid correctly has diminished. Tax Summary report - not reporting accurate numbers which has caused us major problems with under reporting taxes due resulting in penalties from the State. Time slips - the print outs when an employee clocks out sometimes prints there entire shift was in Overtime when it wasn't...printing error. Once again employee confidence is low on whether they are being paid accurately. Updates have not corrected this issue. We also would like the add-on software to work correctly: 1- Thrive online-order fail rate over 55%, please correct this so we can use it instead of 3rd party software. 2- Inventory software doesn't work either

Reason for choosing Thrive

Other store owners were working with this product and Vitalink was discontinuing support for the software.

Reasons for switching to Thrive

Vitalink was a terrible product !!

Vendor Response

Hi there Glenn! We are so glad you took the time to rate our system. Thanks to your feedback, we've taken note of areas where we can improve. When we set out to create a user-friendly, scalable, and functional point-of-sale system we knew that it would be as challenging as running a marathon wearing scuba flippers. Even so, we are committed to resolving the specific issues you reported and will be in touch soon.

Run from this company

The trainer left us high and dry to fend for ourselves with the system.

PROS

Not much after getting off to such a bad start with trainer.

CONS

Training guy sucked. The software had none of what we sent to have on our system

Reason for choosing Thrive

Price. And I should have spent the extra $8,000 on the other company. My mistake!!!!!

Vendor Response

We sincerely apologize that this negative install situation slipped through the cracks. The Thrive representative who managed your installation and training is no longer with our organization, and we again apologize that we were not aware enough of how much of an impact this had on you and your business. We are diligently researching the records we have on your account, and we would love the opportunity to make this right. We know how much dedication it requires to run your restaurant, and we always want to contribute to your success. A Thrive representative will be contacting you this week, so please be on the lookout for those follow-up calls and emails. Thank you for leaving a review with such honest feedback - and bringing this to our attention, ultimately helping us be better for you and all of our customers.

Great for our needs

Pretty seamless.

PROS

Fits our industry like a glove - allows us to integrate POS, online services, and marketing in one product.

CONS

Occasional software oddities between updates - usually fixed by a responsive customer support team.

Reason for choosing Thrive

History with the company and it's products. Functionality, ease of use.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Craig, for the great review! At THR!VE, we believe in three things: effective technology, stellar customer support, and affordability. We also think that pizza should be its own food group, but we are split on the question of anchovies and pineapple as toppings. One thing we do agree on though is that we are here to help you stand out from the crowd.

Worst business decision I ever made

Run away and find an updated system with better service and doesn't use an antiquated operating system like Linux. Sales, Service, and upper management are horrible.

PROS

Nothing. I have nothing good to say about this product and have multiple emails and documents to back up my review.

CONS

Everything. Basic functions like real time reporting and employee management are terrible. The system constantly has issues and needs to be re-booted during service. Has malfunctioned on basic levels of math with credit cards and processing. Customer support is terrible and does not follow up unless you do.

It is very user friendly. It has allowed me to make simple changes such as adding new products, change pricing, add new cashiers, etc. without need support. However, when I do need support for more complicated changes they always respond that same day.

For a Small Business That Needs POS, This is Great

Small business with mobile orders? Use this!

PROS

My little brother has a small pizza joint, and I asked him about a month ago to show me how he has been running all the POS. The answer? THR!VE. It works well for their one full-service business -with two satellite locations- in his local area. Mobile ordering seems to be their biggest income generator with this system.

CONS

I admit that I could not dive into the app/software with ease on my first try. It's not my actual business, but I still thought I should be able to intuitively investigate the pros and cons of the application. I could not. So... the ease of use seems to be lacking. But overall quality for small-business users seems to be very effective.
