It's the most frustrating thing I've ever had to deal with.

I like the ease of which the system is set up, its very user friendly. Even for people who struggle with this new technology.

Easy to use and navigate around and the ability to open a tab without keeping customers card.

First system I have used with tablets at table, which I like.

After using this system and growing our brand new business after 8 months I can honestly say it is the worst system I have operating between 7 locations I am involved with.

Customer service was difficult to contact a few months after Covid in 2020. And our card swiper broke 4 times in 2 years and was difficult to get another one quickly.

This was a really good option for the money. They give me the ability to track sales and inventory across all of my stores with ease of access.

The whole Lavu system is frustrating and not user friendly.

Easy to use, easy to set up and it is self-explanatory. You can go into the backside of the program and checks your sales for the day, how many customers you yourself have waited on.

The missed up of this POS are the total of revenue doesn't matching, has to be manual counted after cashier closing.

Overall, we have great support. All specialists are knowledgeable and helpful to resolve any issues, questions or concerns that come up.

The best part about it is flexibility and the pizza builder that is integrated into the system.

Good for new tiny restaurant who does not need so much integration and etc. You can get regular hardware.

Maybe I should start with the fact that they billed me today for Quickbooks integration that I DON'T EVEN HAVE. Let's start with the outright misrepresentation of their product.

Years ago there were some pretty bad issues with the service going offline and we were totally down.

The biggest problem is that there is little to no integration between Menu Drive (which they purchased from a third party) and the LAVU POS.

I have had an overall very good experience with Lavu at my previous hostessing job.

New employees can figure things out quite easily. Integrates smoothly with Vantiv (Mercury) including their gift program.

Obviously if we are running specials we don't have pictures of those items, but for those who are more visual this is very helpful. Also helps train new staff on what each plate looks like.

They send you system-wide emails apologizing saying their system was hacked and therefore the interruption i.

It started off ok although challenging and difficult. But after getting though the kinks it was almost ok because their tech support team could help a lot.

Great inventory and POS software. Ease of use and easy to teach employees to use.

Over the past 6 weeks I Personally have over 50 hours logged online on hold and on the computer trying to make stuff work that is failing.

Ease of use and customer support. Also, the price was perfect for us.

Ease of use and kost important the customer service especially the tech support. His was [SENSITIVE CONTENT] but in the past I had great experience with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and many others.

Great, when it works (which is seldom does anymore).

Its easy to use, very user friendly and the good thing is you get a accustomed to the system really face.

None other than sometimes when internet is down you are dead fish in the water.

Do yourself a favor pick something else. We moved to Square for everything.

This ruined my business. Would not work if not connected to the internet, had lots of bugs and terrible customer service.

Being able to add pictures of products or change color of box to help locate the items faster. Ability to change prices, product name, add new product with ease.

Recently, the restaurant reported to me that they had a glitch and lost printers. Tech support finally helped and got the printers up but somehow lost half the menu.

Technical support has been great too. I love the backend real time reports and how easy it was to set up and change menu items.

It's so badly prepared, the service is worthless, the documentation - both online and written, awful, and they make what should be easy, very difficult.

Sales are a breeze and pulling reports is very easy with the improved user interface. The cloud-centric features are very nice too, offering seamless integration across devices and platforms.

I love how this point of sale is fully customizable to the customers needs.

I no longer have to worry about things falling through the cracks. The customer service is excellent, but hardly even needed as the software is so easy to use.

So easy to use, quick payment into your account and the cost per event is minimal.

Quickbooks doesn't integrate with Shopify, and it does a horrible job of keeping up with inventory.

My previous version was great. The newer one is not great.

It isn't very user friendly - have to x out of windows to get back to selling. User interface is ugly and in general a bit clunky.

Multi-store is absolutely terrible. Like who is going to upload and download files nightly between stores.

Performance tended to suffer as more user got on. Also managing and recovering from backups was not always easy.

Sometimes the shortcuts are not obvious, so I end up entering wrong numbers in wrong places. It is a little too quick for me.

QuickBooks point-of-sale was quite costly to purchase all at once. But you only have to pay once.

The register scanned items in quickly. Showed details like amount on hand.

I was confounded and furious and customer service had no answers as to why this had happened.

While it is robust and simplifies many aspects of accounting, the overall feel and look were just not conducive to everyday business operations.

I love that it is easy to use and has good reporting ability. Links well with QB Bookkeeping.

Fast Input of information,  Invoice information input was good, price for beginners was right.

I do not use it often enough to really have any cons about this product, but it can be confusing if you do not know what you are doing.

It does not function as advertised. Intuit doesn't listen to customer complaints, calls, emails, feedback via the app.

That you have to payI hate paying for  a software that once you have it you have to pay for on subscription.

We've upgraded to the new version 19. This process has been simply AWFUL.

What I like most about this was to be able to save the documents filed on making. I like this mostly to save.

I have logged 50 hours on the phone with customer service since August 2020. The engineers obviously released the new updated system too soon and my business suffers because of it.

I continue to say pick another POS Quickbooks is awful...just awful. Oh and the chickens and roosters in the background when talking to support...what in the world.
