Lavu works on ios devices so you dont' have to buy a lot of specialized equipment. It is fairly simple to operate and the menu setup is intuitive. The employee facing app is decent, especially compared to some other POS systems. When I signed up you could use an independent credit card processor, but I think they've changed that to where now you have to use lavu as a credit card processor.

We're a small restaurant operating outside the US, and Lavu is a great option for us. Easy to use, with lots of customer support in setting up and deploying the system in multiple langauges! We had been using a regional POS system for years, and struggling not only with features, but also with reports, analytics, and their customer support. Lavu has stepped in to improve, full the gaps, and take the lead for us in terms of setup and deployment. Lavu's price point was better for us, especially since the payment processing functions are not available in our country -- the other companies didn't offer any price adjustment for this. Also, Lavu is made for restaurants specifically, and offers integrated inventory management as well as add-on accounting integration. As a package Lavu is the best for us.
