Most Helpful Favorable Review
Verified User in Wine and Spirits
Micros is one of the easiest systems to understand. Very efficient for high volume bars/restaurants. Every tab is easy to find, and they make the whole process very easy. Nothing is complicated about Micros, there are very few steps to do each task.

Too much nonsense. Needs to be a bit more cut and dry on the POS terminals. Very slow at times and not the world's best, or quickest, servicing.

Frontier technology. I love making that ability to process transactions between two parties simple. After living in Scandinavia (a region that has been paper check free for over 10 years) I realized that we are behind of everything banking. I am grateful...

The new version that requires a separate app for EVERYTHING (sales, invoices, etc), the very confusing navigation on the website that leaves you running in circles.

I would avoid Square in favor of using the Merchant Services of your bank or Authorize.net. Both are better options than Square because Square will close...Read more
