Hey everyone,

Cloud vs traditional POS - your experience?

I'm running a grocery store in Louisville, KY and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

We had the same issue. What worked for us was clearing the cache

Cost us about $185/month all in. Worth it.

This is why we switched to Lightspeed Restaurant. No regrets.
