It wasn't made for communicating with our hotel software but they made it work. The software does a lot more than we actually use it for. > > **Cons**: Problems with interaction for room charges in the hotel...not always a problem with the software though but a hardware problem on our own end. > > Great but a little difficult setting up for menu items. ----- ### "SYSTEM IS VERY OUTDATED AND THE OLDER IT GETS IT SEEMS TO BE A MAGNET FOR GLITCHES" — 2.0/5 > **Scott** | *27 June 2017* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a user friendly and training waitstaff is very easy. Big bold buttons and colors on the screen > > **Cons**: When I call TECH support I need support NOW not tomorrow. When POS is down my business doesn't Run\! > > I am curious what the user life of this product is. Our's is 11 yrs old and runs windows xp in the dining room "touchscreen \& credit cards" , and my back office is running windows 7.1. The system is slowing down, running sluggish and recently we had a serious networking problem that ruined our Friday Night all you can eat Fish \& Chips. 2 managers were on the phone w tech support for hours. The first call was made on Thursday evening and they responded Friday around 415pm. The call was made far enough in advance. Another time the power went off and when restored I couldn't reload the system because it "locked" and made me get a new product code to proceed. Again it was at 6pm and we had a full house. I had to purchase this code i know i didn't need over the phone with my credit card just to get my POS up and running. I had several outstanding tables that needed to be finalized and cashed out. I will say when i needed to get that unlock code there were no hold ups or waiting like when I needed tech support. They answered right off in person and were very eager to take my payment. The initial start up cost was ten thousand dollars cash up front. I consider that a big investment. I'm still paying and paying for insurance on hardware and software upgrades. My fear is it's going to get too old and out of date and I will be forced to purchase an entire new system. If I get both front and back pc's running windows 10 at the same time I will be very surprised. 10 is supposed to be the next operating system that's going to give us almost 20 yrs like XP and XP Pro did. we will see. ----- ### "fast and reliable, easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Kenzo** | *5 June 2018* > > **Pros**: this software is simple to use for everyone. Everything is well explain no matter the levels of knowledge. > > **Cons**: I really dont know what to say about negative from this software. I really loved this software. Thank you MAitre D ----- ### "No customer technical support, wait for ever for a call back" — 1.0/5 > **Derek** | *8 December 2018* | Restaurants > > **Pros**: We used to like the optional features and interface possibilities, until we found out that most of them don't work as promised. > > **Cons**: The live customer support has gone extinct. When you call for the "24 hour technical support" you are usually just getting on a wait list for a call back, or leaving a recorded message for an eventual call back. Waiting right now for a call back, over an hour waiting, with a total system failure. Second time like this in the last 3 weeks. Ridiculous. > > They also changed their credit card processing policies. Last June (2018) they suddenly made a change to their credit card processing software to make it so it no longer held the card information for use when the guest left. If you swipe a card to start a tab, that information is useless to close the tab with, and the system can't access it. You need to rely on the customer to remember to come back and swipe the card again at the end of their visit. They claimed this was for PCI compliance. When I asked how we should hold tabs open for customers, they instructed us to hold customer credit cards behind the bar to secure their tab. That is the opposite of PCI compliance, and actually breaks many privacy laws. What are you thinking Posera? Down the tubes. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/421401/maitred?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/421401/maitred) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
