Lightspeed Restaurant vs. Unleashed

Upserve POS is well suited for any restaurant, bar, or coffee shop. We've utilized this system for full service, quick service, and bar service and it's been perfect for all of it. I can't think of food or beverage service application that Upserve is not well suited to handle

Unleashed's new AIM (Advanced Inventory Management) module has made stock reordering, forecasting, and general "health" monitoring much easier. What used to be done in a large, hard to maintain, spreadsheet can now be done through this module, and more. Its tight inventory control has been great at stopping users adjusting stock to clear orders, without following a proper review process, and it's really shone a light onto our stock levels and how we're managing them.

• I love all the backend reporting features of Upserve. It's really robust and helps me manage our restaurant by staying in touch with labor, best selling items, etc.
• The customer service is great. I had a question and used their chat feature and my question was answered within 5 minutes.
• I'd highly recommend this product.

• There are a few minor bugs in the reporting that should be fixed.
• Check out reports could improve by showing each transaction detail.
• There is not currently a way to check via the reports how many online orders come through since they are processed as a credit card/cash.

• It's not massively customisable
• Receipting of purchase orders could be improved

Upserve is very intuitive. It utilizes a tab system along the left side of the screen for easy access to menu categories. After choosing the tab you want to view (i.e. Food), all the food items and/or sub categories show up instantly on the screen. once your items are chosen, you are a card swipe away from starting the payment process. Very easy. That said, there are a few minor issues with usability. For example, splitting checks is really quite difficult. You have to create new checks one at a time, then have to go searching for the checks to ring guests up. Really not intuitive on this front. Thankfully, it's not incredibly inhibitive

Seriously, if I could give a 12 rating I would. Upserve support is 24/7 and completely free. No extra fees on evenings or weekends and they are fast. You can actually start a chat support straight from your ipad screen. 90% of our support issues have been solved in just a few minutes from the chat screen. That said, I prefer the phone. Calling into Upserve support is just as easy and everyone is always friendly and fast

Upserve [POS (formerly Breadcrumb)] offers more functionality than Square, which is the only other restaurant POS I've used. Upserve has intuitive employee time tracking, and helpful labor and sales reporting features. I know my data guy would prefer more detailed data reporting abilities (for instance, you can't pull reports that show modifiers - so when we have Happy Hour and want to track how happy hour modifiers are doing compared to normal price, we have to do this manually wtf?). But overall Upserve is better than the other POS systems I've tried.

Ultimately we wanted a pure SaaS solution that integrated with Salesforce and Unleashed was the best product we found that natively integrated with the CRM

• Bestsellers and slower items rise to the top in reporting features, making analysis quicker.
• Dramatically reduced server error
• Posed a challenge to continue face-to-face contact between servers and cooks; the POS tends to end conversations about special orders, special customer requests or restrictions, and generally conveys the nuances that contribute to excellent service. So we have to make a conscious effort to continue talking to each other.

• Highlighted we are overstocked on 75% of our items
• Helped to reduce these overstocks
• Saved hours of time each month in readjusting stock levels due to poor practice in old system
