TouchBistro
Chose TouchBistro
Toast overall was a very impressive system. However being new to Canada I was hesitant to sign.

Clover worked well with payment processing but was not a great system for sales and service.
Chose TouchBistro
TouchBistro was the first product we looked at for this business.
Chose TouchBistro
Harbortouch has a very robust POS system however it has issues that we do not seem to have with TouchBistro. One of the issues with Harbortouch is if the internet goes down, the credit card reader will not work and actually lock of the POS system causing extra customer wait …
Chose TouchBistro
Touch Bistro is so simple to set up and use.Very user friendly and very easy to reach to any employee. Aloha was more complicated for served, kitchen staff and managers.
Chose TouchBistro
Toast does their own credit card processing in house, so we didn't have to deal with a third party. It streamlined things for us and gave us access to options that we didn't have with TouchBistro as a quick service Taproom. Again, both are great, it truly comes down to your …
Chose TouchBistro
TouchBistro beat them all with its intuitive interface, ease of use, and economical costs.
Chose TouchBistro
For the price and beginning incentives. Also, for the customer service included.
Chose TouchBistro
We have not used other products, but when researching other products, the TouchBistro interface seemed much more user-friendly and that is why we selected TouchBistro.

For a small business like ours, it works very well, is very user friendly, but the cost to add more tablets so that we can keep one at the bar, one on the interior dining area and one on the outside dining area is difficult as they have to be iPads, and there is an additional cost to add another tablet for use on the floor

Cons
  • I would like the number and quantity of elements and images to be added to expose in more detail the products and virtues that our company has.
  • Over time we have noticed the increase in price of this software, we like to work hand in hand with this program, but its price is a bit high.

  • Online ordering can not be added on to once the customer arrives, can’t edit or change anything once placed
  • Slow speed to place next order, and syncing with debit machines
  • Frustrating that screen needs to be closed until payment goes through, hard in a very busy restaurant
  • New updates always cause glitches in the system. The last update I now have drinks printing to my kitchen that never did before.
  • Admin and servers not being able to do printouts
  • Discounts not displaying on day printouts

First of all, I hardly ever need support for Touch Bistro, that’s how well it works. In the very instances over the years where I did need to call, customer support was easily accessible and fast and accurate with their responses

Toast overall was a very impressive system. However being new to Canada I was hesitant to sign. Clover worked well with payment processing but was not a great system for sales and service. Square would repeatedly crash and miss payments, their customer service was terrible and took too much effort to have any corrective assistance. We went with TouchBistro because in all the restaurants I have worked in this has been a consistent system and was able to integrate with Moneris payments.

Return on Investment
  • One of the scenarios that has enchanted this program is the very successful responses that we have received from the technical service of this program, there are few programs that have a quality technical service.
  • For us it is an advantage to have a quality administration since we have absolute control of our work methodology and of each one of the commercial processes.

  • The consistency of ordering with Touch Bistro has aged me money! From the customer to the person who takes the order to the person who makes the order and then back to the customer we have less room for error with Touch Bistro.
  • It can be slow during large volume times, especially if a lot of my customers are laying with credit cards or gift cards.
