## Reviews

### "Overall a Good Product with Excellent Customer Support" — 4.0/5

> **JEFF** | *19 November 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customer support staff has always been great. I have been a CAKE user for 6 or 7 years now. I spent 3 Hours on the phone yesterday with \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10;, who informed me at the end of the call that he was supposed to get off work at 4pm. I called at 3:55pm and he gave me his best efforts, a great attitude, and he genuinely wanted to help me troubleshoot the issues we were experiencing. The only reason I am writing this review is to give \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; a shout out\!
> 
> **Cons**: There are a few fundamental aspects that most restaurants do, such as happy hour, and CAKE is not designed well for special pricing without creating duplicate items with the discounted prices, and a "happy hour" menu separate from the standard POS menu. It works, but it would be better if an item could have multiple prices based on certain times of day.

### "The Customer Support and my Account Manager, \[sensitive content hidden\] are Amazing\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Angela** | *29 January 2026* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The support we get from the Cake staff. The help line always picks up for the staff with issues and are very helpful. \[sensitive content hidden\], my Account Rep in particular is someone who irreplaceable to our success. We have had CAKE for 8 years and she has been by far the most attentive. I would be lost without her help programming our online menu, replacement equipment and payments.
> 
> **Cons**: The integration for online ordering and delivery apps need work. I wish it was easier to adjust multiple items and modifiers at one time. The employees also preferred the larger screens of the older models as they are easier to see/use.
> 
> I’ve been very satisfied with the ease of use for the employees.the availability to access from anywhere on any devices is amazing. Above all the support we get from the staff.

### "Best POS out there" — 5.0/5

> **Scott** | *21 April 2021* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use for the staff and to load new items
> 
> **Cons**: Time clock dose not have mandatory launch breaks.
> 
> Extremely satisfied with software ,hardware and support.All the way around great product

### "User friendly POS for restaurants" — 4.0/5

> **Anonymous User** | *23 April 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We loved the modern look and ease of use.  Many other POS systems for restaurants are outdate and cumbersome.  Training on Cake took minimal time because of how intuitive and customizable everything is.  Display has large, colored tile buttons like a smart phone or tablet, and the menu layout makes sense for the needs of a restaurant.
> 
> **Cons**: Our business had both restaurant and retail and Cake POS was not incredibly conducive to retail management.    The inventory tracking was set up more for food industry, not for retail SKUs.  It did not have a scanner built in, items had to be searched for and clicked on.
> 
> We loved Cake overall.  We had tried other systems and Cake was just the easiest to use and train employees on.  That saved time in training saved money and made for less interruption in the work flow for others while a new employee was training.

### "A++++++++++" — 5.0/5

> **Tara** | *30 January 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: So incredibly helpful and followed up\! Extremely patient
> 
> **Cons**: I hate that I am not able to make the cash out or cash in slips longer. &#10;I also don't like the fact that I can't separate when I do reports comparing Mondays through the year versus like say Sundays through the year I want to be able to compare days
> 
> Actually some of the best customer service I've had very helpful when above and beyond
