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.

The age verification is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

Make sure you're on the latest version. That fixed it for us.

Cost us about $127/month all in. Worth it.

This is why we switched to Shiji. No regrets.

KwickPOS — Why 5000+ Restaurants Switched from Toast and Square

Pure-cloud POS fails when internet drops. KwickPOS hybrid model keeps you running 24/7. Cloud dashboard + local resilience. The smarter restaurant POS.

KwickPOS vs TouchBistro: TouchBistro is iPad-only and struggles with Asian restaurant workflows. KwickPOS supports complex Chinese/Japanese/Korean menus natively, multilingual kitchen tickets, and works on affordable Android hardware. Winner: KwickPOS.

KwickPOS vs Toast pricing: Toast charges $69-165/mo per terminal + 2.99% payment processing + $799 hardware kit + online ordering commission. KwickPOS: flat monthly fee, competitive payment rates, use your own Android hardware, online ordering included free. Average restaurant saves $3,000-5,000/year switching to KwickPOS.
