What do you like best about CAKE POS?

This is my 3rd POS and by far, my favorite. It is so user friendly, easy to learn, easy to add or change items or prices or virtually anything. The reports are easy to read and make perfect sense. The fact that they take the Credit Card fees out of each deposit is a Godsend! No more massive payment at the first of the month, when everything else comes out! I love this system!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

I wish the reports would be able to tell me exactly what my alcohol sales were without me having to add each individual item up and I with the monthly sales report would show me how much my tax exempt sales are. Also, I wish my staff could add their starting banks into the system everyday and have their Z report add that amount back in as funds they owe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CAKE POS:

This is the easiest system out there and their support is phenomenal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can look at my sales and know exactly what they are, without having to add this or subtract that! I no longer have to create readable reports off the reports I’m getting. These reports give me what I need with the exception of my tax exempt sales Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

I enjoy the sleek design of the system and user-friendly options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

It was difficult to set-up, and costly if I wanted the option to have it done for me. The cables are either too long or short and messy under the counter. If I want next-day deposit there is an additional cost--no thanks. I stopped processing payments on this system and used a third-party as it is cheaper and faster. I also think it is absurd that if I would like to use giftcards, there is a costly fee to purchase and maintaine the cards even if they are not being sold. I consider this price gouging as CAKE still receives a percentage of the consumers purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CAKE POS:

I would really consider the size of the restaurant, Needs and Wants, Specific traits that would tailor the system. (I provided input for a year and have not seen it implemented, so it does not heavily fit my restaurant needs). If you are thinking of doing giftcards, there is a high cost to have the "software" let alone the card fee to use the giftcard feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

The simplicity of Cake can't be beat when compared to other POS systems. The Dependability and quick response time for any changes or issues I need help with from their support team is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

Not sure if it is a dislike, since we are using the tablets and haven't used one but would rather see/try a hand held size order platform rather than a bulky IPad/tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CAKE POS:

Really pay attention to how detailed a system can get as well as the support that comes with it. Look at what your costs are after the honeymoon period! You get so much more with Cake than other vendors offer. A Great and smart investment for your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to accept payments when internet is down. Mis-communications between FOH and BOH on order requests. My FOH staff being able to put in customized requests at the touch of a button vs spending several minutes typing out notes which also slows down the BOH. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Marguth of CAKE POS

Thanks so much, Carol, for your wonderful review! We pride ourselves on our ease of use and support team, so glad to hear that you have found CAKE to be top-notch! Thank you for your feedback about the tablets, I will definitely be passing that on to our Product team. Also great to hear that offline payments and miscommunications between front and back of house have improved since using CAKE. We appreciate you and your feedback and are so glad you chose to partner with us.

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Solid performing OS and hardware. Unlike many competitors the larger screen provide for a solid surface while typing in commands. This might not seem important but in a fast casual context this tiny feature equals expedited ordering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

The 3rd party additions are nice but native apps always mean easier solutions if and when there are problems. For instance inventory management and BOH order display screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cake has solved our downtime problems by not ever being down. Customer support is second only to Apple. The benefits from no downtime is reappropriation of time, energy and resources to those things that have a return mean better bottom line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Cake is a simple and easy to use POS. On the server/bartender side of things my new staff members are usally able to pick up the system on their first day and use it, and have detailed and advanced knowledge within their first week. I hardly do any training as the online resources and ease of use do not require me to have to sit their and explain or review features with staff. On the back end of things, I really like how easy it is to customize the features to the needs of our establishment, and the reporting and revenue centers have made my accounting much easier. When we were shopping for cake, the sales rep told us that the system is designed to be updated and we should see constant improvements and new features. I can honestly say Cake has stood behind this statement, we have seen in our two years of ownership, a number of updates, new features, and improvements to the system. The customer support is just a phone call away, I have never been on hold for hours, never had an issue go unresolved, and never had a bad customer service representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

Cake has very few drawbacks in my book. Some of the features may not be as expansive as other systems on the market, but customer support is good about helping you to figure out ways to accomplish what you want. Some of the features I have felt were missing, were actually addressed in updates over the last two years, so who knows what the future holds. Other than features, the reporting information does have some limitations as far as how detailed you can go, and some aspects of the menu design and order implementation are not as detailed or a customizeable as I would like. However, please note these are all really nitpicks of the POS, as no system is perfect, I really don't see these as things that would keep anyone from being able to use this system to operate their business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CAKE POS:

I would say if you are thinking of using cake, find someone with the system and spend a day watching it in action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cake has helped in 3 major ways over our last POS. 1. The order entry is much faster and easier for our staff and I can see this has helped our hourly numbers, we now do more sales in an hour more consistently than with our previous system. 2. The reporting has greatly helped my relationship with the owners. As a GM is was difficult to explain and produce easy and quick reports for the owner, with cake the owners have their log in info, and can get whatever sales and revenue information they want, from their phone or cpu anywhere! 3. Online ordering is a breeze for customers, and the orders flow seamlessly into cake and they are easy for our staff to process. This has been a great boost to our numbers and made our customers happy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Marguth of CAKE POS

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

We have used several platforms for our restaurant and café locations. Our business model of a vestal platform that we can customize to our needs is a must. We also wanted something that was user friendly, good technical support and affordable. Cake has fit our needs and was affordable as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

I would suggest better inventory features. It will keep track of sales but would love a hand held or Ipad we could walk into kitchen and do inventory from. It will need ability for recipe building so when you sell a sandwich it knows everything it will take from your inventory to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CAKE POS:

I would suggest CAKE products to any cafe or food service vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We love the employee time clock feature and the back of the house reports. It also is easy to navigate and staff can find and ring items quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Marguth of CAKE POS

Hi Marty - Thanks so much for your 5-star review. After having experience with several different platforms, we are so glad that you chose CAKE! We appreciate your feedback about improving inventory features. We do partner with other companies for more robust inventory management, but I will definitely share your feedback with our Product Team to see if we can incorporate more inventory features into the POS. Thanks again, Marty, for your business and for being a loyal customer.

I worked and programmed register systems for over 30 years and I have been so pleased with working with CAKE.. The company and its people are very knowledgable and

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Cake has a lot of functions that allow us to easily track every aspect of our business and inventory. The system is very easy for our staff to use and requires very little training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

I needed a system that resets at every 14 tickets. Cake does not do that. I went on researching tons of register company’s and none of them have that option. I had reached out to cake about it again and the called me a couple weeks ago and it’s being implemented now!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’ve been able to raise my business 400% and don’t think it would of been achievable with another system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
