    For organisations keen to streamline their payment processes and who use Salesforce, this is a brilliant solution.

    Lavu
    For a small company with little inventory, Lavu is a great simple POS system. For a larger company or a company where items are always changing, I would not recommend Lavu as more transactions increases room for error and ultimately takes away the time one doesn't have to figure out how to reconcile something. Customer service is not always able to fix the problem right away and can take months getting back to you on the reasoning behind a discrepancy in reports.

    • The Lavu system is incredibly easy to use in both front and back of house operations. The format of both sides is very intuitive.
    • Lavu makes it very easy to add real life application to teaching inventory control, schedule control, etc.
    • The fact that it is cloud based makes life much easier. I can make changes on the fly and they update very quickly.

    Cons
    AppFrontier LLC
    • Because it is a low fee, you need to do more configuration on your own to get it up and running.

    Lavu
    • Split check credit card transactions, seem to have issues with some of the checks not closing out properly or being charged correctly
    • Servers being allowed to run server summary even though they have unpaid checks (not supposed to happen)
    • Have had the system go out on a weekend and took 20 plus minutes to get back online
    • Calling the help desk on the weekend is a joke, takes 45 to 90 minutes to get help

    Chargent has been better for us as it works within Salesforce and can be mapped into workflow processes and reporting.

    Square has a simpler interface but lower quality reporting for accountants.
