Jason I
IT
4.0

Jason: My name's Jason. I am IT at The Saloon restaurant where I also manage and I give CAKE four stars. We chose CAKE, we can have it on iPads at the server's table. From there it goes direct back to the kitchen, where we have some display screens where we can see orders at different stations in the kitchen. For example, we can have certain items go to the pizza station, certain items go to the frying station and certain items going to the grilling station, which we thought was really nice that CAKE can do that, and it can also be funneled, all orders to an expediter station, which we find very useful. I think the biggest advantage of CAKE is their support. At any point I can call them. They're US-based and their hours... I haven't had any problems yet and I can also text them at any time. So, when I'm busy running around the restaurant and I don't have time to hop on a call, I can text them and they can text back at our convenience and I can answer and ask questions and get answers on my own time, which is nice. As a restaurant, you're running around doing a million things and you can't really stop and chat on the phone. And the support has been absolutely hands down, the best support I've seen for a point of sale. CAKE for me, since I've seen a couple of point of sales, the onboarding was a little bit more difficult than other point of sales I've seen. However, their support makes up for that since if I'm having troubles doing something in the menu or with staff, a quick phone call or a text chat with them usually solves a problem pretty quickly.
