Top 4 POS Systems For Small Business 2023 [Retail & Restaurant]

[@hectordelarocha10]

I am learning to code and I just set the goal to make an Open Source POS for restaurants where it is dynamic and the owner can have full control and customization over what he needs. So I need to code the program for execution in any computer and still have the option to be online. Also, after ending the session the owner could have the option to keep it there offline, to upload it to our servers (which would be needed to be on Switzerland for the tax evation) or their own servers for storing. Although I don't know how I could keep the servers secured and running without any income... Anyway, wish me luck!

What pos is best for small businesses like barbershop or hair salons? And is there an option to have one without the use of internet. And what do you think about NCR?

[@vitulpatel5097]

[@sebasfonseca7655]

hey Dave, outstanding video as always! are these POS systems available in spanish? and can they be used in other countries?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey Sebas, Lightspeed would be your best bet. They are in more than 100 countries.

[@diogopinto4780]

@DaveAllredTheRealBarman what is your opinion on the SumUp POS?

[@danielasolis2297]

Would you share your feedback about KORONA POS for bakeries? Thank you, great video

[@taejongkim5400]

Hello David, Thanks for advices, question! What are the best POS systems that you would use for a small japanese restaurant? Like about 1,000 sq/ft and 35-40 seats total.

[@wangtownn]

thks for advices

[@sunriseintegration]

Great run down thanks!

[@ericak6841]

Thanks, I will do my research!! ❤

What's the best POS for a large shoe store?

[@mortythegreat3548]

Hey Dave, just recently came across your channel and watched a bunch of videos, really great information. Have you looked into Toast POS system? My restaurant uses it, along with many in my area, in my opinion its much better than Square , what do you think?

[@joec5331]

Currently in the process of choosing between Toast and Rezku for a small pizzeria. I’ve been going back and forth. My brother currently uses Toast at his pizzeria and it’s a great system but can be a little annoying at times. Any thoughts and recommendations? Thanks

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey Joe, if I were you I would look at a pizza-specific POS system like Thrive or Slice. The main POS systems simply aren't set-up very well for pizzerias. Best of luck to you.

[@Pepperpuff3]

Thank you so dang much for this breakdown!!

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

My pleasure Pepper!

[@WhimsicalGriffin]

I use clover and am very disappointed with it. What are your thoughts?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

I'm with you. Don't like Clover at all.

[@stephanie_2774]

Do you still recommend GoTab?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey Stephanie, I believe I will eventually but they are still newer and working some things out, but I do like the people running the company.

[@craiggirolami5895]

what about gotab? I thought you really liked it?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey Craig, I do love GoTab still. They were in a rebuilding phase for awhile but they are back now better than ever. go.barpatrol.net/go-tab-demo-TRB I'll be doing a video on them soon. Thanks for stopping by.

[@PropensityVisualized]

Do you like the Paradise POS?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Sorry, but I haven't ever used Paradise POS. Pretty small company so I don't know much about them. Let us know if you end up using them and what your experience is.

[@SandwichShoppe]

what

[@SandwichShoppe]

wait....whaaaaaaaaat

[@azaammarikar]

Why is CAKE POS not on the list?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Because Cake is a good POS system, but it is not a top 4 POS system

[@TheSweettalk]

Best pos for resell shop? Square or no??

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Depends on the size of your shop. For a very small business, Square is fine. For mid-sized to larger businesses, Lightspeed would be my pick.

[@ericak6841]

What is the best POS system for a cash only small Hoagie Shop business ? Mainly to keep track of inventory and analytics.

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey Erica, I would try Square. They have very cheap options for small venues. Best of luck to you.

[@ericak6841]

Thanks for your suggestion !!

[@vickigonzalez1714]

​@ericak6841 be careful. I've heard very bad things about square.

[@moniquepannell2775]

Why have you not researched Heartland Business Solutions?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Haven't done the video yet, but I will in the near future. I do have a blog post review on Heartland if you'd like though: therealbarman.com/heartland-pos-review/

[@k-linkpos]

yea Lightspeed and upserve are not as good as heartland resteraunt

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Sorry k-link, but I'll have to STRONGLY disagree with you on that. Not even close.

[@amigonma]

to Hello David, question, i have been watching your videos and they are great, maybe what i am looking for doesn't exist, but who better to ask than you! i am shopping for a POS system for a restaurant full service. We are wanting to buy the software upfront instead of paying a monthly fee, and that allows us to continue with our payment processor. We currently have micros, but since they were bought by Oracle customer service is lacking and would like to get a different option. Any suggestions?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Hey there, I'm always happy to help. Unfortunately in this case, I am not aware of any quality system these days that offers up front payment for the software with no monthly fee. This is how they make their money, especially over recent years. The hardware costs have gone down but the subscription fees have gone up. I would love to help, but I don't have a magic pill for you here in which you wouldn't pay a monthly fee. I do wish you the best of luck though, and please let me know if you find one that accommodates you. Cheers.

[@amigonma]

Appreciate it!

[@blanm2970]

Hi clover with wells fargo offer the while sistem , you buy the software upfront, the only thing you will be paying is the credit card % when is used

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

@@blanm2970 Good luck with Clover. Not one of the top systems out there.

[@ahmadkai10293]

@@blanm2970clover is absolutely horrible. Stay away at all costs.

[@DamZFXBeats]

Any opinions on clover?
