Pros/Cons

Pros
it is simple and very straightforward for anyone new starting out with using this software
It's fairly reliable, handles basic functions (screen ordering, receipt and kitchen printing and end of day reports without graphs).

Cons
Value just OK for money. Hardware setup a bit complicated and prone to possible to complications. Can probably do better for the money.
With all of the positives to this product, and with allowing multiple users, we have found that as the more data is stored and is more specific, the process slows down.

Pros
It was very easy and convenient to use for a new business to get started. Awesome to be able to accept payment anywhere I had a cell signal, or wifi.
It is very easy to use. I love being able to list an item and then put in a custom amount. It is very fast and understandable. There is also no monthly fee just a fee per swipe. Which is awesome!

Cons
Cost per swipe is a little high, especially if the card is not present or the swiper isn't working and we have to hand-key the payment. Other than that, it's a great reliable software!
I am loathe to complain about the fees, because this is really worth the price and would be worth much more, but the fees could be a little lower.
