I recently had an issue that Client Success Partner \[sensitive content hidden\] helped me out with and exceeded my expectations! She helped me resolve a transition issue from my old POS and allowed us to close the book on it completely. Very much appreciated! Pros The user interface is ahead of the game when it comes to other POS's. Also, the tech and application support is top notch. It took a bit of getting used to, but once we did, it was a huge improvement over our old system. That and the online ordering capabilities as well as the Doordash Direct functionality make it a win win for us. Cons It took a bit of getting used to once we implemented. I'm not sure if it's the fact that we were with our old system for many years prior and we were used to it, but relearning was the hardest part. Switched from [HungerRush](https://www.capterra.com/p/122189/HungerRush360/) Updating the system was required. We had multiple systems in place that were disconnected from each other. From Loyalty to multiple third parties are now integrated under one house that make it so much easier to use on a daily basis.

Advertising Manager Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SpotOn its Amazing!!!" August 22, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Spoton has been exceptional. The platform is powerful, intuitive, and tailored to meet the unique needs of complex businesses. With expert support from \[sensitive content hidden\], I always feel confident navigating their tools and growing my business. Pros Spoton is a top-tier payment processing and digital marketing company that truly understands the needs of modern businesses. Their platform handles complex menu modifiers seamlessly, making it perfect for restaurants with intricate setups. The customizable reports provide deep insights to drive smarter decisions. Their email marketing and loyalty programs are easy to use and highly effective. Online ordering with built-in discounts adds tremendous value. What really sets Spoton apart is their outstanding customer service—especially from \[sensitive content hidden\], whose expertise and support are second to none. Highly recommended for businesses seeking a powerful, all-in-one solution. Cons One area where Spoton could improve is communication with their development team—feature requests or technical issues sometimes take longer than expected to be addressed. Additionally, the offline mode for taking transactions isn't as seamless as it could be, which can be a challenge during internet outages. These issues don’t outweigh the platform’s strengths, but they’re worth noting for businesses with high-volume, always-on operations.

Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SPOT ON is the WORST POS SYSTEM" March 25, 2026 1.0 We purchased the spot on POS system about a two months ago for our restaurant. It has been a total disaster to say the least. The problems started almost immediately when they missed the installation date that we both agreed to. When they did finally install, their technician was an unprofessional buffoon. Upon arrival he disconnected our AV system and our back office system that was supposed to remain running until we could transfer over our gift cards. After unplugging everything, he then determined our wiring wasn’t sufficient for the new system. Mind you this is a few hours before we need to open for the day. Once he finally figured out the wiring was fine, he installed the system. 4 terminals and 8 handhelds along with several printers. Once the system was turned on, we noticed there were many missing items, buttons, categories, etc. all of which had been worked on and discussed in several zoom programming meetings. Now the fun starts. Prices are wrong, discounts are added instead of subtracted, gratuity can’t be added, printers malfunction, systems lose connectivity to the internet, handhelds don’t work, back up cell service fails, tickets won’t print to the kitchen, the list continues. The next day brought a fresh new set of challenges, including categories disappearing and previous day programming corrections being erased. As I sit here a month after system start up, problems still persist. All I can do is warn anyone thinking about purchasing this system regrets. We are still having problems with the system, accurate reporting, credit card processing and their ability to fix many of the problems with the system. Pros I originally purchased this system to replace my existing system. I wanted the cloud based system that wouldn’t fail during power outages and the handhelds were also a bonus. Cons It’s really hard to come up with a least favorite when there are so many issues that have gone wrong. I guess I would have to say Spot On’s inability to fix the problems is the biggest problem we have currently Alternatives considered [Toast POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/136301/Toast-POS/) Reason for choosing SpotOn Salespeople, cost, promised options, promised customer service. Our salesperson said they previously worked for toast and listed many issues the toast system has with operation and customer service. Switched from [Futures Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/172667/Futures-Platform/) This QLaborate system didn’t have a cloud base option. It was also very old and starting to have major problems.

Chief Mischief Officer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ok POS, terrible developer experience - 26 days and still no API key" April 14, 2026 2.0 SpotOn is a fine POS for in-store transactions. The product works. But the developer experience is nonexistent. We are building online ordering for a coffee shop that opens this week. The POS is installed, the website is live, the API spec is written. SpotOn is the only bottleneck. There is no escalation path, no public developer email that works (partner-support@ bounces), and no visibility into where your request sits in their pipeline. Pros In-store POS works well. Card processing is reliable. The hardware is solid. Reporting dashboard is decent for a restaurant operation. Cons API access process is broken. 26 days from first request to receiving a Google Form — not credentials, a form. No self-serve developer portal. No sandbox. No timeline given at any step. Stripe gives you keys in 30 seconds. Square gives you a sandbox in 2 minutes. SpotOn makes you email three people, wait through OOO auto-replies, and fill out an intake form just to start the approval process. If your business depends on a custom integration, budget a month of waiting.

Terminals don't hold cellular as well as handhelds. Pros Customer Service from \[sensitive content hidden\] and Sales Representative \[sensitive content hidden\]. Cellular backup works well on handhelds. Cons Reports, Contest setup poor, Enterprise Reporting, flexibility of moving certain items on ticket command screens, handheld connectivity issues Alternatives considered [Toast POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/136301/Toast-POS/) Reason for choosing SpotOn We thought reporting was going to be much better but it's integration options were a plus Switched from [Aloha EPOS](https://www.capterra.com/p/178748/Aloha/) Cloud based system needed along with handheld use Review Source Response from SpotOn January 11, 2026 Thank you so much for the kind words, Cary!

Need to go to 10 different widow for report. Sales tax is not properly counted. Found myself liable with big sales tax amount. They didn't have an answer for that. they they said next month it will be adjusted which it didn't .Also if a ticket still open at closing .it automatically close the ticket but as Item sold. So you pay tax on it even if you didn't received the money . They told me that I have to adjust it in my general ledger. but the 1099E will be showing a big difference since it's not corrected on their end. Pros Not much . beside I regret to change. They told me that it's exactly the same than toast but the Credit card fee a lot cheaper Cons Credit card Refund processed is not friendly . And Can not make a cash refund next day . Need to make a paid out to refund the customer. So it's not really accouting friendly since paid out is not made for that.So you pay tax on the sale, and Sales tax is not properly deducted.

General Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Do not buy this POS" September 27, 2025 1.0 This is the absolute worst POS system I have used in my 20+ years in the industry. I have been working with this system for almost five years now and it is absolutely terrible. You create a tab for a customer and it just completely disappears sometimes! I've had $300 bar tabs completely disappear and then have to try and remember everything the guest ordered to re-ring it. We have lost so much money using this system. Our equipment finally got replaced after our old terminals were crashing daily. We built a new restaurant and made the mistake of sticking with Spoton. Their Website team takes months to make the simplest changes. I bought my system from a third party so I can't even go through Spoton's customer service. The whole deal is sketchy and a huge inconvenience. The handhelds can't even reach my patio tables even though we are well within the required sq footage. Pros Nothing. It is terrible. There is not one good thing about this system. Customer service is clueless and rude. Cons The constant computer crashes, lost tickets, not for high volume restaurants. System doesn't allow even the most basic functions of a POS. Ten steps to do anything. It took me months to get my menu properly imported into their system and I am still having to call them daily because something changed in the settings and now everything's ringing in wrong. Servers hate it. Bar hates it. Alternatives considered [Toast POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/136301/Toast-POS/) Reason for choosing SpotOn Because I made a huge mistake. The sales guy said all the right things. Review Source Response from SpotOn October 1, 2025 Hi Lauren -- while we appreciate your review, this is not what we like to hear about your experience. I have passed this along to our team who will reach out to assist. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences and want to make things right. HF Hernan F. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bad Communication and complicated services" January 14, 2026 3.0 Too much problems with the company. Over sale the products. Different departments. Thanks to the help of \[sensitive content hidden\] , I found a resolution for the issues I have. Only good thing for now Pros The Online Orders and the opportunity to make delivery without pay a lot to Doordash. Good marketing tools Cons Bad communication and over sale product. The installation is complicated and take too long to get the menu. Need better explanation about the percent and cost of services. Too many departments to resolve issues. Switched from [Clover](https://www.capterra.com/p/226864/Clover/) I feel confident about the words of the sales person Review Source Response from SpotOn January 27, 2026 Hi Hernan - Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that the online ordering capabilities and marketing tools have provided value to your business. That said, we’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced with communication, onboarding, and clarity around pricing and services. This is not the experience we aim to deliver, and your feedback highlights areas where we need to do better—especially when it comes to setting clear expectations and simplifying support across teams. We appreciate you calling out the support that ultimately helped resolve your concerns, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to improve. We remain committed to making the experience smoother and more transparent moving forward. JH Julie H. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience with SpotOn" May 8, 2025 4.0 Honestly there has been several highs and lows. I think they are working hard to improve the product and I believe they will have a bright future. I don't know if there needs to be more internal training before products are launched to the customer, but I feel like I get many different answers to a question and many are not accurate. Pros The express POS is very simple to program and is easy to train new employees how to use it. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been very helpful getting my questions to the correct people to get the answers I need. Once they went to the correct people, they were handled promptly and efficiently. Cons The staff are very helpful but there needs to be a better internal system to let staff know who is helping which customers and the particular issue that is being resolved. I have had multiple calling, and emailing to solve and issue that has already been resolved.

District Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "District Manager" September 19, 2025 5.0 Pros SpotOn helps our restaurants run more efficiantly. \[sensitive content hidden\] is one of the most helpful person working at SpotOn.

Cons I'll let you know when I figure that out.

Their installation was problematic. It worked Ok for a week or 2 then problems occurred they would or could not fix. Cons They are non responsive and inflexible.

Overall I’ve enjoyed it and it works well with our restaurant amenities - happy hour, private parties, etc. Pros Very user friendly for staff. Pretty user friendly for back of house. Tech support and (especially \[sensitive content hidden\]) are very responsive and helpful. I also appreciate how everything is intertwined if you go with the whole package - POS, Reserve, & Teamwork. Cons Had black out issues and the entire POS deleted itself before dinner service one day, but it was back up and running pretty quickly. I also wish there was a way to add more than one button at a time to the menu screens list at the bottom of each screen. Very time consuming to set up, but once it’s done it’s done.

VR Verified Reviewer Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SpotOn misled me while I had a decent service for a few months with what was then transparent pricing. " August 26, 2024 1.0 SpotOn advertised to me stellar rates, low fees, and a free machine, so I signed up to process cards with my business. Everything went well for a few months until I looked at my bank statement and saw that they started charging me more for the same program. Nothing changed on my end and my revenue stayed consistent. It took me a while to get in touch with someone to discuss and eventually cancel. They did not make me pay any penalties but nobody could provide me a valid reason as to why I had to pay more every single month without mention. I cancelled. Bad end experience overall. Pros SpotOn does provide a competitive price for CC processing and POS systems included. They advocate cash discount pricing to eliminate credit card fees. They have multiple support lines. Month to month agreement no penalties for exiting. Cons SpotOn increased my monthly fee rate without telling me. I had a $25/month POS system usage fee with a free Pax A920 Pro to use. Over time without mention, it went to $40 and then $50. I could not have anybody explain to me what happened. Not a fan of misleading pricing and undercuts. I cancelled.

Business Developement Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best POS system I've ever used" January 31, 2020 5.0 The software is great, but the best part is the customer support! Real people that care about your business built your menu for you, do extensive menu reviews until it's 99% perfect, and then come install it and stay with you the whole first day! When you need manager or back-of-house training, they will dedicate hours to you to make sure you understand everything you need to know. And there's all kinds of cool bonuses, like the reporting app, manager app, and even social media review management! Pros I love that SpotOn is so intuitive and easy to use. The extensive reports are extremely helpful to gain valuable insight into your business, it comes with online ordering built-in (so you don't have to pay a 3rd party) and you can run multiple restaurants from one back office. Cloud-based means you can do all paperwork from anywhere, and the back office is extremely easy to navigate. Cons That more restaurants don't use it! It's annoying when I'm eating at a restaurant and it takes my waiter so long to put in orders, print checks, etc. I see them struggling and I want to go install SpotOn myself right then!

I used to have nightmares about calling support for Aloha, Clover, etc, but now I actually enjoy calling support! A human at their call center in Detroit picks up immediately! Plus, you can tell that SpotOn was built exclusively for restaurants, unlike many others that are credit card companies first. Switched from [Aloha EPOS](https://www.capterra.com/p/178748/Aloha/) I've actually tried many different POS systems in my career in the restaurant industry, and SpotOn is the only one I would recommend to restaurant owners.

Office Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, Eischen's Bar and SpotOn" April 1, 2022 5.0 From the very beginning when we started using SpotOn only for credit cards we have felt valued as a customer. This value has only increased as we moved into the POS system. Our sales rep \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] made sure if he did not know the answer he investigates and found it for us during our decision making process. He was very diligent in his response and overall communications and continues to be available for our needs. The support staff with SpotOn especially Don Bisbee has made sure our conversion to SpotOn's POS system was a very positive experience. He continues to check in and be available for all of our needs. Don spend many hours with us during the conversion and made sure we were extremely comfortable with the product before his next install. His attention to detail in regards to the KDS portion of the POS was invaluable. He is a great representative of SpotOn Pros This was our second POS system and the anxiety of change was high. SpotOn did a great job in working with us from the menu design through install date. We are a unique restaurant that is very set in our ways. SpotOn did a great job grasping our needs and adjusting / showing which portion of their software would work for us. The software is very user friendly and was easier to adjust to than expected. SpotOn has been very prompt with any questions/requests/problems we have come across thus eliminating them. Cons We include taxes with our food items and the existing Daily Sale Reports breakdown as net. We have been able to adjust our reporting to accommodate and SpotOn is always working on new reports. It would also be nice to have a product mix report you can run for a specific timeframe. Alternatives considered [Aloha Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/254668/Aloha-Cloud/) Reason for choosing SpotOn SpotOn made us feel valued as a family business and worked hand in hand with us to create the POS system layout we needed for our restaurant. Switched from [Aloha Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/254668/Aloha-Cloud/) Our system was purchased from a local company in 2013. We were very spoiled by working with a small company that valued our business. That company was bought out from NCR and our system was antiquated.

The ability to log in from anywhere and make changes on the go is also one of the most helpful and impactful features. The reports are easy to interpret and share. Staff timekeeping and payroll is a breeze. Our staff love the ease of the screens and how easy it is to modify items add new items or create events. Cons We are very pleased with this software. We have recently began using the handheld tablets and our only complaint with those was not having the ability to start a tab. However, SpotOn contacted us and said this feature was going to be implemented and asked if we would like to be part of the Beta testing for that feature. So far it is going great and we appreciate that they listen to the users and are always looking to add helpful features and updates. Alternatives considered [Toast POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/136301/Toast-POS/) Reason for choosing SpotOn We chose SpotOn based on our salesman, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]. We felt he was honest, he provided answers to all of our questions and went above and beyond to get questions answered that he did not know. His follow up was impeccable and we were very impressed with the features he put in front of us, how it would benefit us and how we could save money and time with the SpotOn software.

Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product that needs fine tuning" May 27, 2023 5.0 Customer service has been great and they are always kind. They helped go through the system when I got the new pos in the store. Pros I like the ability to provide a discount for cash sales. The POS is user friendly. The layout is user friendly. The website created was better than I expected. Cons I could not merge my gift cards that I previously used because there were letters in the code. I now have to accept as cash and then the reports are incorrect. Any customers that I had with loyalty before do not merge to SpotOn because I did not use phone numbers for in store orders. The first POS system was never shipped so I needed a new order to have one shipped. I spent weeks on the phone with tech support because it was not updating properly and finally I was sent a new system that is working properly. I am now charged for multiple POS systems although I only have one. I have spent a month trying to get it sorted out but have not been refunded for the overcharge and although billing cancelled the extra equipment, I am being charged again extra for this month. Virtual Terminal is not great for sending invoices and does not sync with inventory. Big problem when the business is selling inventory. Not able to exchange an item. Switched from [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) I needed to add an app for every little thing. Some were free and some charged a fee. It got more expensive and I also didn’t feel like I had everything that would make the app function the best. Review Source Response from SpotOn June 5, 2023 Thank you for the feedback, Sheila.

" April 14, 2025 5.0 Over all \[sensitive content hidden\] has managed to keep us with SpotOn, if he was not with the company we would not be. We stay because he is there to continue to support.

We truly appreciate her and all she does for us. Thank you! Love how support understands we are not a business designed for this software but work with us to grow the opportunities. We appreciate you all so much. Pros Customer Service and Support are super helpful. If they don't know the answer they will find out. Cons Our beginning relationship was not that great as a rep left the company within days of us beginning our setup without a word to us. They have since redeemed themselves.

I've probably work for them more than I do running my restaurant. Its so embarrassing. Pros The set up was easy, the system is user friendly. Cons If it works its great but the handhelds always have issues. I have 8 handhelds most weeks I'm down to 1-2 due to systems issues. Not taking payments. Emv issues. They take up hours of my day trying to troubleshoot and it still doesn't work. I've only been open for 5 months and I have had hundreds of tickets and calls regarding fixing the same issue. Yes they expect me to troubleshoot and fix and its only temporary. Within a few more days I have to do the same thing, spent hours on the phone for a temporary fix.
