Reviews

"Something that’s very important to me, is that you have to have remote access to it. I need to be able to look at reports, track inventory, get e-mailed reports, on a regular basis. That’s something that I do get with Upserve POS and it’s something ...that makes my life easier." - Dimitri Vlahakis
"It’s very intuitive and user-friendly, which is essential for a good POS. It’s also there working for us fast and furious when we need it to, firing orders all over the kitchen. Now that we have Upserve POS in place, when new employees arrive I don’...t really need to train them where to go to run a credit card. If you’re familiar with touch technology, the rest is pretty much self-explanatory. Upserve POS has great adaptability. We can change orders, edit orders in all kinds of smart ways." - Peter Kammerer

As an operations manager for eight restaurants, I’m never in one single place. Upserve establishes one consistent way to approach information. Being able to talk to a group of general managers, all looking at the exact same thing, using the same metrics, learning the same skills, makes my life so m...uch easier. It was such a pain before changing from a legacy to a cloud-based system.
