    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.

    For overall fleet management, maintenance scheduling, employee tracking and equipment tracking this service seems like it is an all in one package that hit all the check boxes my firm needed.

    The issue is lack of hardware and software updates and support, and what appears to be an over taxed cell network that is not allowing any of these devices to work correctly.

    Pros
    NCR VOYIX
    • 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.

    • Transit temperature monitoring - Verizon Connect allows us to fill in previously missing temperature information for food products in transit.
    • Vehicle location monitoring - While not our primary goal, we are able to use Verizon Connect to see if any of our vehicles has stopped for an excessive amount of time. This helps us ensure safety of our vehicle drivers.

    Cons
    NCR VOYIX
    • 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.

    • Contractor install is very cumbersome, inconvenient, and causes downtime.
    • Tracking had lots of unexplained glitches, thousands of miles added and lost to various trucks out of nowhere.
    • Customer Service is quick to "open a case" on any issues, but lacks follow-up and solutions.
    • Lots of problems are "sent to development."

    Usability
    NCR VOYIX
    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.

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

    Verizon Connect has great customer service. Our account manager has always replied quickly to any inquiries of mine and has been very knowledgeable and reliable. Drivers who've occasionally needed to call into the customer service helpline have quickly had their questions answered and problems resolved. All reports I've received from them about their experiences have been positive, stating that the Verizon Connect employees have been courteous and helpful, resolving their issue quickly and efficiently.

    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.

    Verizon is more precise with GPS, but the easy installation and quick onboarding make Motive the winner. Verizon connect has better accuracy and less chance of removal, but the interface set up take away from its ease of use. Motive is easily installed and can be transferred between vehicles that Verizon connect cannot.

    • Through reprint, we were able to identify an issue around drink sales and create a plan to increase them.
    • We were able to speed up the check-out process, allowing us to move people through faster.

    • Costly compared to other GPS programs.
    • Tied to long term contracts. Representatives do not know how to cancel service.
    • Must wait until the end of the contract to request cancellation. If you miss date, you are tied to another 3 years.
