Koomi POS
iPad POS for quick-serve, takeaway & on-the-go customers
4.4 /5 (70 reviews) Write a Review!Koomi, the point of sale app that we chose!
Pros
Koomi is very easy to use. It was very easy to integrate it with Leaves House's team and with our the other softwares and hardwares that we were using. It also works with the SRM (Quebec). Its simplicity helps us to serve the clientèle better and spend less energy on staff training .
Cons
I think there could be some improvements on the analytics side. Having said that, Koomi is very close to their users, their team listens and they are working on that.
Ease of use, day after day
It’s simple to use, not too expensive and the customer service is acceptable.
Pros
It’s super easy to use and anyone can learn how to use it in less than 5 minutes
Cons
The fact that it’s not directly linked to the Interac payment solution. Also, in a dream world, Koomi would be connected / linked with QuickBooks
Great app for us (ice cream shop)
Pros
It's super easy and simple to use. All my employees find it user friendly.
Cons
Two things would be easier:
1) It would help a lot to have different colors for the different groups (in the options). This way, it would be easier to scan and find the option that we want to select within all the groups.
2) It would be easier if we could correct one or many things after having clicked «check out». If the customer changes his mind after we have clicked «check out», we have to delete the complete order and then enter it all over again with the one correction.
Response from Koomi
Hi Annie,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
2) You mentioned that you were not able to delete any items after clicking "Checkout". You can actually swipe left on an item to delete it even after having clicked "Checkout".
When in doubt on using Koomi POS, please give our support team a call - we are always happy to help!
Thanks again,
The Koomi Team
Koomi review
Pros
Its accessible from my phone. Has gotten easier to train staff on screen layout.
Cons
When it crashes it feels like there are too many hoops to go through to figure out why.
Updates are only available early in the morning, which is not convenient if you open early and there are changes that need manual adjustments. They can mess with our morning service.
Night time after hours would be better i believe...it would be nice if ypu can see what we sold during the hour instead of just amount we made during the hour.
Great program, very usefriendly
Great service
Pros
Quite easy to navigate and user friendly
Cons
Colour coded section would be great for more visual references
Back office, easier tally of multiple location
Been using for 3 years
Koomi's really suited for samll service business like our coffee shop. It really helps efficiency and it take no counter space. Overall, it increases our customer experience.
Pros
Efficiency and user friendly interface that are using Ipads and Apps. Really convenient for samll spaces.
Cons
A few adjustment here and there but nothing that compromise the use of the software
Coffee shop perfect
Pros
You get a software with all the abilities you need for a cash register in a small shop at a perfect price.
Cons
Would like to be able to add more colors so that it's easier to find items on the menu.
Strongly recommand!
Excellent customer service! Great technical support when needed.
The software is very userfriendly and easy to learn for new employes...
We have been using Koomi for a year and a half now and we are so far very happy!
Pros
Very easy to use. Not expansive. Great customer service!
Cons
It would be interesting to be able to put (and it might be eventually?) quantities to the items. For invertory management.
Best software for a restaurant
Easy to install, really reasonable price for what is does. I recommand to anyone who wants to run a small business or a cafe.
Pros
It is easy to use, updates are quick and always very useful.
Cons
Nothing, really. Its everything i need for work.
not ready for the public
It's ok. I know it can't be for every individual demands of customers, but if the cms and app were more open to customization features on the client side, it would really help. The fact that it's a pretty closed system is a big thumbs down. The simplicity is acceptable and nonetheless a good app. Just hoping for more for the pricing. i feel just hiring a backend dev for a one off system would be just as expensive but with more features.
Also, customer service is horrible. No answer to emails.
Pros
cms is easy to use. its locally made. i feel like it's a small startup in a competetive market
Cons
lack of features : no custum sale reports for easy filing. Actually horrible sales reporting with only day to day reports that you have to manually file. Would actually be easier if we just had access to thendata files instead of lowering productivity by manually checking every day. also seperate exports for just taxes or just sales pre tax.
connectivity issues. Doesnt work offline or on location.
Lackluster managing of invoices on the app : doesnt help in fast intervention when in front of client if they quickly change their mind on something.
overall doesnt help me in productivity but adds a workload that could be avoided if new features were created.
updates shouldnt make the previous app version unusable. If there is an update during service it makes for yet another interruption in productivity and quality of the restaurant's service
Easy to use
Pros
In general, Koomi is very easy to operate and get used to.
Cons
Reporting system sometimes can be confusing.
Cumbersome
Good customer service upfront, little support since. Confusing for older users
Pros
Integrates with MEV device in Quebec, dashboard is straightforward
Cons
Too many buttons to press to cash out, doesn't integrate with my payment processor, expensive, only works on ipads
Complicated for Butcher shop
Pros
Ideal for single items and checking out.
Cons
When plugging in multiple items especially at the butcher shop, weights, very long and customers find the checking out very long. Would be easier if Koomi came with a scanner and be able to read our scales bar codes.
A great app for its price
Pros
Easy to use, we already had another software before and this is way more intuitive. The staff learns quickly how to use it.
Cons
Less options then some other software, like printing your daily report isnt possible from the app. You have to go to the backoffice.
Loving Koomi
Pros
Great functionality, easy to use, no issues as of yet!
Cons
I could not add my previous sales history for comparison year on year upon switching to Koomi
Perfect POS for a fast paced industry
Before Koomi we did not have any POS system in place. We looked at every available system and Koomi is by far the best in the market. The platform is super easy to use. Staff need very little training to use this POS. Recently we started using Koomi in conjunction with Clover and the experience has been fantastic.
Pros
Koomi is always innovating and updating their process to make sure we are getting the best user experience. They always listen to our feedback and have incredible customer support. The platform itself is very user friendly and can accommodate all types of different service options.
Cons
The only issues we've ever had with Koomi are the result of the internet speed / consistency. Customer support always helps target the issue and get us back online asap.
Koomi is the best POS for Quick Service Restaurants
It has been an excellent overall experience and we look forward to using Koomi into the future.
Pros
- The very easy to use and very simple to look at interface.
- The round-the-clock reliability.
- The Clover-Flex integration.
- The top-notch technical support.
Cons
In hindsight, we only wish we would have found this solution sooner.
Koomi POS review
My over all experience is very good
Pros
The Support and that it’s paperless when sending orders to kitchen or bar
Cons
The disconnecting of the Koomi and Clover integration
There is no liquor tax
No photos for categories
No option for mandatory prompts when entering items
Small restaurant user
It's positive, I've worked with most big POS services in the past and this system is perfect for a smaller place like ours. No extra features that would pay for/otherwise not use.
Customer service is super nice.
Pros
Simplified programming
Ease to produce several types of reports
Good tech support
Cons
Unable to customize (colour code) item buttons of place them in specific order on screens
Several updates
Limited options to pay for the koomi service (They only accept credit cards)
Easy, simple, good value
Overall, great software, easy to use, simple for the staff!
Pros
Easy to set up with admin log in, easy to use for my staff
Cons
To connect all the POS with the iPad, printer and clover, you absolutely need customer service to assist you.
No option to add lock screen with multiple user, only one code for the boss and that's it unlike Maitre D where the staff have to put their code before punching the order.
Review
We experienced a couple of technical issues but tech support is there. T
Wedid have times that we're critical an fee had to do everything's by hand. It got rectified the next day but I guess that's the price to pay when everything is online.
Pros
Easy to use. Good. Takes less spaces since it's an iPad.
Cons
No features for groups reservation to add service fee extras.
Response from Koomi
Hello Sam,
We do have an offline mode. If you would like to know how it works, please do call support and we will be happy to assist you!
Koomi for everybody
Pros
As we are not a restaurant, I could not speak about certain features which we don't need, but Koomi is very easy to use and can be useful for every kind of shop.
Cons
Support and tips could be more detailed on the website.
Most efficient POS software
Pros
Easy-to-use, especially in the restaurant industry where the employee turnover, is high, the system needs to be simple to use and this is what Koomi offers. Plus the opportunity to have a dedicated mobile app for my coffee shop is a huge must.
Cons
There are some leak of integrations but the team is really pushing integration with various software on the market.
Very good
It is so far a great experience
Pros
Effencitcy, simplicity, custumer service
Cons
Cannot split items and or add many custumers on the open tables
Over complicated
The program seems to be in its beta version and there were many "work arounds" that had to be created to get it to do what we wanted. Customer support was not able to help much. The promised refund if not satisfied did not happen. I was charged for equipment that was never sent. No response from the vendor at all now. There only seem to be two or three people involved.
Pros
Cost was low, however still not good value.
Cons
Over complicated in its use, and customer support seems incompetent to me, or my computer specialist.
We save money, we serve more customers and there's no downtime. The customer service is INCREDIBLE. I don't usually make reviews but Koomi's team is so good that I had to. They are very close to their clientele so I feel safe. Accepting payments is one our core operations and we need perfect execution.
