They didn't have a good solution to our WiFi situation. It was almost impossible to get refunds for our customers. Sometimes it would take in excess of 10 days and multiple emails to get the refund processed. I could do full refunds, but partials had to be done through their customer service team. I would have to include the SpotOn support team, the supervisor and our sales person on every email to get keep them on top of it. Even then I never would hear if things were taken care of by the extra participants on the email." — Sherry B., Owner (May 1, 2024) ### [CAKE POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/143463/Cake-POS/) - 4.6 out of 5 (522 reviews) — 1 reviewers switched here > "Sometimes you make mistakes with your decisions and they have minor impacts.
