    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    It is a great system. I love the functionality, the ease of operation, and the custom reports (my favorite part). We can set certain functions for the store levels, and more functions for the corporate level. Inventory controls and costs are almost immediately updated, with very little lag time. It is pricey, and when we signed up it was only done with a once a year payment. Other programs we pay monthly.

    Aloha POS is well suited for any kind of full-service restaurant, from high volume establishments to low volume, intimate fine dining settings. The universality to the system makes it an asset for any operation. I don't see much need for Aloha POS when it comes to fast casual, or fast food establishments, as Aloha POS is geared more toward constant communication and planning between the front of house service and back of house prep. For counter service, I believe this would be underutilized, and these establishments would be fine with a simpler service.

    • Extremely user-friendly. The layout and simplicity of the program made for fast, accurate transactions. This was an easy system to learn for all of our users and made training a much more streamlined process.
    • Versatility - even in the largest of transactions, my options for payment were wide-ranging (from charging to house accounts to accepting check, cash, or card). My ability to update price keys and users was extremely helpful where other systems have proven to be difficult to navigate.
    • Great support. As we transitioned to newer versions of Aloha, we always had a great line of communication with customer support, and fast, friendly service.

    Cons
    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    • Some custom reports can have errors in our register system is altered (time punch edits).
    • Exports can't be customized by font style or size, and must be done within Excel.
    • Cost. It is a big program, and we have Enterprise, plus six restaurant locations, so we have a lot of info on it.

    • Sometimes you need tech support to help add or delete tabs.
    • The programs are always growing and updating so sometimes you need assistance.
    • The tech support isn't always available or takes time for them to respond.

    Overall, Aloha POS's usability is phenomenal. The interface is extremely easy to navigate through. All buttons and tabs are easy to add or delete. Having a piece of software that is easy to toggle through creates a much more efficient workplace. I love the ease of use. A brand new employee can jump right into the system and use it with no issues.

    Support Rating
    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    We have a support representative, and whenever I've needed help customizing a report, or some numbers aren't coming through correctly, they are only one email away. It's very timely in response. They can view our system from the backside, and have fixed problems for me with integration or just a formula wrong in one of my custom reports.

    There were a lot of instances where I had to call back or a problem wasn't resolved, specifically with Aloha loyalty.

    Alternatives Considered
    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    PeachWorks is far more comprehensive than TouchBistro. TouchBistro is more focused on allowing customers to take orders tableside. This is an important strategic initiative by many of our franchisee clients but we have found that the software is fairly limited beyond this functionality. TouchBistro does not integrate into the entire restaurant's operations so a restaurant must also purchase and install additional software.

    Aloha is much better than Revel and MICROS. Revel is not set up to handle very large volume of transactions & use. Aloha has many more features than the other two, with more thorough reports, etc. I personally have used ALOHA at several restaurants through the years, but I have never been a part of the implementation process.
