Quick question for the community:

We're trying to figure out the best approach for our bar

Would love to hear from others who've dealt with this.

This is why we switched to Granbury Solutions. No regrets.

KwickPOS — #1 Hybrid Cloud+Local POS for Restaurants

The only POS that works both cloud and local — never goes down even without internet. Online ordering, QR menu, KDS, multilingual support. Trusted by 5000+ restaurants.

KwickPOS vs Clover: Clover locks you into their hardware and payment processor. KwickPOS works on standard Android tablets, any payment processor. Clover has no true offline mode. KwickPOS runs fully local when internet is down. Winner: KwickPOS.

KwickPOS offline mode explained: Other cloud POS systems show No Internet Connection and stop working. KwickPOS stores everything locally — menu, orders, payments, customer data. When internet returns, it syncs automatically to cloud. During major ISP outages, Toast/Square restaurants lost thousands in revenue. KwickPOS restaurants never noticed.
