    Excellent POS system for various types of business, expecially hospitality ones

    Reviewed on 21/7/2018

    Pros

    - great 24/7 support team
    - elastic SAAS solution that can be customised for various business needs
    - cloud-based solution that can work on any device and any operating system

    Cons

    - pricing seems fine initially but the sales team constantly keep pushing for paid support plan - this might be expensive
    - As this is a massive provider, you might sometimes wait a long time for your new features to be implemented

    Great customer support, very easy to use brilliant for accountancy and amazing software

    Pros

    To be honest is pretty much nothing I consult with this software it is absolutely amazing I love the statistics on it the graphs all the financial information that you can gain and the simplicity of it all the amount of information you can extract about your business is Colossal.

    Cons

    Only downfall was the free tanning app. Not in-depth enough to move with the speed of our company growth. Tanning App was extremely basic. I approached them on many occasions to try and develop it further but it was not possible. There was no tanning applications that were able to integrate with it either. So I had to look for alternative software. Such a shame I really didn’t want to move from Epos now.

    Brutal POS

    Was a brutal experience top to bottom

    Pros

    Absolutely nothing can be said about this software or its "apps", the back office and terminal GUI are brutal to look at and not very user friendly

    Cons

    When inquiring about the product we asked if the system could produce a receipt showing liters/gallons in conjunction with setting new prices per liter/gallon... we were told YES.. this was NOT the case, when we asked for a solution we were told that the salesperson DID NOT say it could do the things we asked via THEIR recorded phone records! so now we are stuck with this POS (and I don't mean Point Of Sale) what I am also saddled with is paying for this POS, P.O.S. that does ABSOLUTELY nothing to improve over my current CLOVER system that is a better system than EPOS could ever dream of (also sales guy claim they are better in every way) laughable at this point.
    WE NEVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE

    Last customer service agent I called kept trying to get me to pay $69 per month in order for him to help me.

    Pros

    easy to add products and keep track of sales

    Cons

    Just added a new computer to my pos system. But I need to have the drivers for the epos printer I purchased. Owned this system for 3 years and they will not help you in a pinch unless you pay $69 per month for their customer service. Be aware this system will not be their advertised $39 per month. More like $118 per month

    Overall, the flexibility and customization is the best feature and the reason we stay. In addition, Epos is always updating and improving! Very helpful customer service group!

    Pros

    Flexibility and customization of the software.

    Cons

    Integrations - We have a few integrations - Shopify, Mail Chimp (which was discontinued), Postal options, etc. The integration we're least pleased with is Shopify. Everything is an add on which makes it hard for small startups.
