Cardwatch POS

## What is Cardwatch POS?

CARDWATCH is a powerful suite of POS applications plus a Privilege Management engine designed for quick serve, fine dining and retail environments. Our forte is Meal Plans, Dining Dollars, Charge Accounts, Gift Card Management etc where transactions require automated control and item filtering to ensure "Cardholders" receive the "Privileges" they are entitled to without cashier/server knowledge or intervention. Our new mobile and kiosk applications help better manage scheduled food orders.

We are able to make sure all the team member charges are properly taken off of paychecks comparing cardwatch and our payroll software.

Pros

I like that you can determine how you want to see the Point of Sale information for a location or for a specific customer or by date.

Cons

Sometimes, the layout of each of the reports is in a weird place and it's hard to find.

Hi Teresa. Thank you for taking the time to comment on Cardwatch. We understand our reporting options are not "Up To Snuff". We are currently updating our reporting methods including an improved Back Office. All new reports will provide extensive filtering and graphics allowing you to build reports your way and output to excel and or adobe. We hope you'll be pleased. Our revised back office will run on any device from anywhere.
