Started 10/10 they were great at the beginning. Good rate, good service, the whole 9… Then things started to break. Had two printers break and paid for new ones, not the end of the world. Then had a monitor go out and it’s been weeks without a replacement. Currently on here looking for other options.

Pros

I like how easy it was to update from the computer. I could update the menu from home if needed. I also really liked the layout.

Cons

Once the equipment they sell you breaks they don’t do much about it. They will up your rate before sending new equipment. They don’t return emails. Once you actually have the system in place they basically quit caring.

I’ve been very satisfied with the ease of use for the employees.the availability to access from anywhere on any devices is amazing. Above all the support we get from the staff.

Pros

The support we get from the Cake staff. The help line always picks up for the staff with issues and are very helpful. \[sensitive content hidden\], my Account Rep in particular is someone who irreplaceable to our success. We have had CAKE for 8 years and she has been by far the most attentive. I would be lost without her help programming our online menu, replacement equipment and payments.

Cons

The integration for online ordering and delivery apps need work. I wish it was easier to adjust multiple items and modifiers at one time. The employees also preferred the larger screens of the older models as they are easier to see/use.

My overall experience was pretty good with Cake POS. \[sensitive content hidden\] was instrumental in making sure our transition was smooth.

Pros

The interface because it’s very intuitive. And the support is pretty good too. And they offered me pretty good rates for merchant services.

Cons

I don’t like that the cutoff time for next day funding for credit cards is at 9:00PM because we close our restaurant at 9:30PM.

I am extremely impressed with the operating system, and equipment we have thus far. What I am most impressed with is the customer support. I have been in the service industry for most all of my working career and I know first hand that any product or equipment you sell is useless without great tech support and representative availability when you need it the most. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been absolutely phenomenal on sales and support. \[sensitive content hidden\] in tech support has been my lifeline on equipment setup, programming, and troubleshooting. Every person I have spoke with in the Cake organization has been outstanding in my experience. From the restaurant management aspect cake meets every need we have, from credit card processing, davo for tax management, the cake pop hand held device is awesome! So easy to use for table orders, payments, etc. to say I am very happy with the Cake team and the software would be an understatement!!

Pros

Availability of sales and tech team. Speedy response and solutions issues. Professionalism and friendliness with every phone call. Options on equipment is very nice!

Cons

As of yet nothing. Navigation is very simple, very user friendly specially for employees who are not very technically inclined

We loved Cake overall. We had tried other systems and Cake was just the easiest to use and train employees on. That saved time in training saved money and made for less interruption in the work flow for others while a new employee was training.

Pros

We loved the modern look and ease of use. Many other POS systems for restaurants are outdate and cumbersome. Training on Cake took minimal time because of how intuitive and customizable everything is. Display has large, colored tile buttons like a smart phone or tablet, and the menu layout makes sense for the needs of a restaurant.

Cons

Our business had both restaurant and retail and Cake POS was not incredibly conducive to retail management. The inventory tracking was set up more for food industry, not for retail SKUs. It did not have a scanner built in, items had to be searched for and clicked on.

Switched from

[Toast POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/136301/Toast-POS/)

We switched because of the available features and reporting, ease of use, and cost. Cake made more sense for us in all those areas.

Alternatives considered

[Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/)

Reasons for choosing CAKE POS

The customer service was a small factor, but the real benefits was the functionality of the product and ease of use. Cake is incredibly user friendly, making training simple and quick.

Actually some of the best customer service I've had very helpful when above and beyond

Pros

So incredibly helpful and followed up! Extremely patient

Cons

I hate that I am not able to make the cash out or cash in slips longer. I also don't like the fact that I can't separate when I do reports comparing Mondays through the year versus like say Sundays through the year I want to be able to compare days
