Sean D.: Hi, I'm Sean, bar lead. I give Lavu POS a four star rating. For more reviews like this, click below. In the past, I am familiar with Toast POS, Aloha POS. The primary reason that I was unable to keep using those in my professional career, mostly it was associated with cost. A few other things as far as licensing between bars and we just found that Lavu POS was a better solution for us overall. We chose Lavu, for one, because the interface was super easy to use. Training new staff, as it's a high turnover industry was a lot easier with the new system. And another big factor that played into it was cost. Moving from one of the bigger box POS's to something that was a little bit more manageable for us. And that easier integration was definitely a benefit. Getting started with POS Lavu was actually really simple. We had a lot of support from their staff. Anything from configuring menus to new user training and just getting our systems in place for running our nightly reports was a... it was a big benefit to have their support staff behind us the whole time. For anybody thinking about switching to POS Lavu, my best recommendation would actually be to just reach out to their sales team. They can give you a lot of great demos of the app, show you a lot of the features and functionalities that you may be looking for in a POS system. And overall, you can get a feel for their company culture and just the product that they're trying to get to you.
