Our credit card figures which aren’t part of what we were informed we’d pay when acquiring this system keep changing and the support team isn’t helpful in resolving this issue.
Operating it is simple, it is natural, inexpensive, and it produces amazing reports.
The overview per product doesn’t have an additional column bearing the amount collected for the sales tax making it time consuming downloading other reports to combine the figures.
The system experiences frequent downtimes, which is a significant drawback. Additionally, my sales representative provided misleading information about various features, causing confusion. The training and onboarding process were virtually non-existent, leaving my restaurant ill-prepared for a soft opening. This oversight resulted in a substantial financial loss of over $6000.
The Front-of-House (FOH) interface is user-friendly, and the customer care team has been pleasant and cooperative to work with.
We received minimal training, making it a struggle to fully educate myself and my staff. I was assured this was an all-in-one program with no additional services needed, but many crucial features actually come from third-party apps. The promised go-live date was not met, causing further disruption. Also, the system's inability to update tickets in real-time has been a significant inconvenience, directly impacting service quality.
Vend helped us get the business going when our budget was very limited. Setup and operation were very easy and if there were more functions we would have used those too. But we had to switch to a more expensive software reluctantly. But Vend was very helpful in most aspects of the business.
Vend is a user-friendly and great help for us in our start-up phase in our brewery. We use Vend at a retail store and taproom bar for about six months.
There is a lack of complexity though in using the software in terms of using the tabs. There is a tab/layaway function we used as a workaround but not meant for this purpose.
The product saved all our items during installation, and we can use shortcuts for the handheld to input frequently ordered products. The credit card payment is also perfect, and it accepts any card.
The tool is great and works well with our POS system. It's easy to process payments for guests, and we can split invoices or change bookings without any trouble.
Updates are always during work hours, so we can't use it then.
