I can check times, check products and look at all the orders that had came through that day. Also with this system you are able to do schedules and make sure that the inventory is put in. With this system you can do just about anything even knowing the total sales for that day and month. This system helps keep everything together. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I did not like was the fact that sometimes when I was trying to do an order, it automatically started rebooting itself and doing an update. It did not happen too often. > > This system has benefited us so much at McDonals, because it helps keeps us organized and up to date with everything that we may need help with or inventory on. It also makes it a lot easy for our crew too. ----- ### "Happy with the system" — 4.0/5 > **Kathleen** | *3 May 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazing support from tech support. The credit card processing is excellent They matched my rate which was the best in the industry. > > **Cons**: Tough to move over to it. We really liked Quick Books POS but it didn't integrate with E-Commerce. Looking forward to getting our e-commerce going agan. > > The transistion period was pretty rough becuae we had a ton of inventory, and we didn't understand the program, but we always had amazing customer support. My sstaff adn I are ----- ### "Terrible team, horrific software and non-reliable hardware\!" — 1.0/5 > **Mandeep** | *8 June 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great liars and getting customers onboard. > > **Cons**: Terrible team, horrific software and non-reliable hardware\! The system was sold on a lie. The features discussed during phone calls and via email did not match the actual system. They tried blaming the initial issues on the credit processing company but later learned that their software was not compatible when accepting EBT cash. Then the software upgrade (May 29, 2021) began showing the same error and froze both of my POS systems on numerous occasions. Instead of resolving the issue brought on by their upgrade, they asked me sign up for monthly service or pay $239 dollars. Their keyboard has a mind of it’s on. At times the CAP lock is activated or the number lock. Their scanners are worthless. I'm being charged $200+ dollars for a wireless scanner that is available on Amazon for $100 dollars. Scanner reviews on Amazon clearly show that no one invested any time conducting a thorough research. Lastly, it’s missing the automated decimal point and the change due does not disappear automatically when initiating a new transaction. Instead of helping resolve their software/hardware issues I received an email from Will that they are cancelling my software service. I emailed my concerns to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], but yet to receive any response. Do you want to start your day asking yourself if your POS system is going to work or not? ----- ### "POS Nation Review" — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *16 December 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoyed the setup process. The instructor was great to work with, and very informative. The features within the system fit just about any scenario we run into. The ease of learning the system was also a relief. > > **Cons**: I will occasionally run into issues finding the correct reports to run for specific information. Also, I have experienced "speed" issues with the system taking many seconds to finish transactions and open the drawer. However, both of these issues are resolved fairly quickly after calling customer support. > > I have enjoyed using POS Nation. With each fix or call to the tech team, I learn the system more and more. The POS Nation employees have been wonderful, and the hardware has held up well for the time we have had it. ----- ### "sPORTING GOODS" — 4.0/5 > **VIVIAN** | *18 December 2020* | Sporting Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The point of sale is easy to use. Reports are great.. > > **Cons**: It kicks you out often but you can get rite back in. The inventory is complicated way to many steps > > Love it ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/428253/pos-nation-for-retail?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/428253/pos-nation-for-retail) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
