Hey everyone,

What features matter most for salon?

I'm running a salon in Denver, CO 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 Auto-Star. No regrets.

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

The client management is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

KwickPOS — Cloud POS with Offline Protection

Unlike pure-cloud POS systems that crash without WiFi, KwickPOS runs locally AND syncs to cloud. Built for busy restaurants that cannot afford downtime.

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.
