    The cloud-native technological architecture on which Manhattan Active WM is built is designed for scalability, flexibility, and easy upgradeability. A responsive user interface, which is available on a tablet or fixed station and supports several of these operations, provides the unified control capabilities of the system. Real-time data is shown in a variety of ways, including a global map of facilities, individual facility data, labor utilization, and tasks broken down by job function.

    In my experience, there has not been a resolution on outstanding tickets opened two years ago during the initial implementation. Simple things like time reporting, creating buttons, and marking items as "unavailable" have issues. The system has a lag when servers log out of checks that prevents them from opening the checks on another terminal without a wait that feels like an eternity in the restaurant industry and with direct impact to the guest. Good luck calling support. Most of my experience involves the person I spoke with having no idea how to fix my issue and having to "escalate the ticket." This escalation process will last weeks, months, and in our case, years with no resolution.

    • Support is awful. Oracle does not directly support end-users and depends on resellers to offer support. So if there is a bug or breaking change, we have to jump through hoops to get something fixed.
    • Does not play well with other software or interfaces. There are interfaces but they lack a serious amount of features that are crucial to our business.
    • The guest facing hardware does not hold up to constant use very well.
    • The backend hardware is lacking in PCI compliance and is not meant for enterprise use.
    • The software itself looks as if it is stuck in the early 2000s and there has been no sign of an update in many years.
    • Reporting is difficult to set up and use and you have to rely on third-party reporting to get decent usable reports.

    We've stayed with MICROS mainly due to that's how we've always operated and to switch operating POS systems would be a HUGE learning curve for everyone involved.

    • Micros has allowed us to leverage our margin by using our own credit processor and loyalty program. We've seen success from both of these platforms (not Micros) and have been able to save money on the extra costs of using Micros.
