Avero
Chose Avero
Overall reviews and after speaking to several companies using Avero it was the clear choice. We looked at many more than just the couple we reviewed but those 2 we narrowed down due to similar cost and features. Slingshot was just easier to understand and implement into our …
Chose Avero
It was the only solution we had for our POS system that seemed reasonable. We liked that we could use it for multiple stores and didn't have to have the same POS for each
Aloha Cloud
Chose Aloha Cloud
Aloha POS was such an easy decision when it came time to replace the PayPal service we were using. Aloha POS has such a strong background and well known easy interface. It is better suited our company's needs, exceeded our expectations, and increased our revenues. Aloha POS has …
Chose Aloha Cloud
Aloha is far superior to MAitre'd in functionality and ease of use. I would definitely recommend Aloha.
Chose Aloha Cloud
Shopkeep was too basic for my company once we opened kitchens at locations. Bamboo HR we still use in my company and it works well independent from Aloha. Toast overall I think functions better and quicker than Aloha.
Chose Aloha Cloud
Aloha is much better than Revel and MICROS. Revel is not set up to handle very large volume of transactions & use. Aloha has many more features than the other two, with more thorough reports, etc. I personally have used ALOHA at several restaurants through the years, but I have …
Chose Aloha Cloud
Micros POS comes to mind as another point of sale system that I've had a terrible experience with. From bland presentation, unintuitive software, to clunky and malfunctioning hardware. The units would crash, slow, down, and the touch screens were unresponsive. It was a simple …
Chose Aloha Cloud
The simplicity of Aloha is something that I will always speak highly of - Conqueror cannot compare in that regard. However, Conqueror is something that was designed as an all-in-one system for bowling, food and beverage, and many other things. The fact that it is …

If you have multiple locations, Avero can bring all your reporting into one place. Not sure it is worth it if you have one store and are not looking to get deep dive reporting.

In a fast-paced, high-volume environment, this simple POS is a perfect solution to completing sales transactions. However, for establishments that would like to truly customize what their staff is seeing and ringing in, and what the guests are seeing when receipts are printed, this POS does leave something to be desired.

  • Honestly, I have yet to have an issue with any of the functions of Aloha. The only thing that was a little complex was the end-of-day functions, (as we were a 24-hr casino) as if there were any open items, it would just auto-close these and that could get a little troublesome if I was behind in closing out checks. But I am not entirely sure if that was related to how our company itself was set up to run, not the actual Software.

Usability

Overall, Aloha POS's usability is phenomenal. The interface is extremely easy to navigate through. All buttons and tabs are easy to add or delete. Having a piece of software that is easy to toggle through creates a much more efficient workplace. I love the ease of use. A brand new employee can jump right into the system and use it with no issues.

There were a lot of instances where I had to call back or a problem wasn't resolved, specifically with Aloha loyalty.

Micros POS comes to mind as another point of sale system that I've had a terrible experience with. From bland presentation, unintuitive software, to clunky and malfunctioning hardware. The units would crash, slow, down, and the touch screens were unresponsive. It was a simple order and fire system, lacking the complexities of Aloha's course system and elaborate payment screen.
