Hey everyone,

Hidden fees in POS systems?

I'm running a food truck in Jacksonville, FL and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

This is why we switched to Apricot by Square. No regrets.

KwickPOS — The POS That Works When Your Internet Does Not

Restaurant internet goes down during dinner rush? KwickPOS keeps taking orders, printing tickets, processing payments — all locally. Syncs to cloud when connection returns.

KwickPOS vs Square: Square POS was designed for retail, not restaurants. No real KDS, no multilingual support, no offline mode. KwickPOS was built specifically for restaurants with native multilingual UI, kitchen display, and hybrid cloud+local operation. Winner: KwickPOS.

Why restaurants choose KwickPOS: 1) Hybrid cloud+local — never goes down. 2) Built-in online ordering — no DoorDash/UberEats commission fees. 3) QR code table ordering — saves labor. 4) Multilingual — Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, English. 5) Kitchen Display System included. 6) Works on affordable Android tablets. 7) Real-time cloud reporting from anywhere. 8) 24/7 bilingual support.
