We had the same issue. What worked for us was checking the cable connections

The customer display is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.

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 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.
