Tend 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About Tend

LionWise is a point of sale system for the retail and restaurant industries that also offers inventory management and customer management capabilities. Its customers deal directly with LionWise for any sales or support related questions, as they develop the software themselves. The system is deployed on premise, and is also compatible on Windows tablets.

LionWise can be purchased purely as a software solution, or combined with any necessary hardware options. LionWise provides turn-key remote services for setup and training. LionWise helps track customer histories, rewards points programs, payment and purchasing history, item discounts, and more.

The LionWise point-of-sale application is a true hybrid-POS capable of handling the operational business needs for retailers and restaurateurs, as well as other multi-concept merchants. It can be tailored to suit the needs of a single independent retailer, or a large multi-entity business.

Pros:

SCANNING RETAIL ITEMS IS GOOD. ITEM LOOKUP IS GOOD. SENDS ORDERS TO THE KITCHEN CORRECTLY (BUT USER SCREEN IS CUMBERSOME).

Cons:

BACK OFFICE FUNCTIONALITY IS HORRIBLE. CREATES WORK FOR 2 PEOPLE INSTEAD OF IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY FOR ONE PERSON. INVENTORY MGMT IS A NIGHTMARE. UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY 2 FULL TIME PEOPLE TO KEEP UP WITH BACK OFFICE AND DO A PHYSICAL COUNT WEEKLY, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM. REPORTING FEATURES ARE HORRIBLE. YOU CAN NOT CUSTOMIZE REPORTING INFORMATION AT ALL. THE UPC PRINTER PROGRAM THEY OFFER IN NOT RETAIL FRIENDLY UNLESS YOU HAVE LARGE ITEMS TO PUT THEM ON.

Pros:

The program itself is incredibly easy to navigate. Editing, building menus and scheduling platforms, payments and service functions were excellent.

Cons:

They still have no plans to put in a chip card reader and there was a major breech within our business area. When we tried to work through it with them, they ignored all of our communications.
