PAR Brink POS vs. SkyTab POS

Brink just needs to continue to develop its technology for the every-changing industry.

Harbortouch is a powerful and robust POS system. After using other methods and training on a couple of different designs, Harbortouch is far ahead of the rest regarding functionality, ease of use, and error-free transactions. It has an excellent reporting tool that is easy to use and "item" editing features that make using the system quick and easy. As checkout is in process, and the customer keeps changing their mind, or the cashier makes errors, the system makes it very quick and easy to edit to keep the transaction in process.

Incentivized

• Easy use from entering to editing
• Great reporting

Incentivized

• Brink could update its hardware to the sign of the times with guest interactive POS.
• Appears clunky at times with its processes and steps.
• Brink needs to be able to edit it reporting features to get the desired result for time clock compliance especially in CA with Meal Break Laws.
• Brink needs to integrate its time clock process in CA, for a team member to accept or decline time clock edits and to waive a mandatory break.
• Brink needs better integration with KDS systems to do exactly what we need it to do as our business model develops into the future.

Incentivized

• Harbortouch as well as many other "large" companies these days could use improvement in the customer service/technical department.
• An easy reset button would be nice for the occasion the card reader locks up

I believe Brink has been very responsive to our needs and requests

I inherited Brink and it works for us for now. But as we grow in CA and other markets, Brink maybe becomes a challenge with time record compliance and the ability to perform up to expectations with KDS systems.

We currently use Harbortouch and TouchBistro at our restaurant. We were going to switch to just using TouchBistro because Harbortouch's customer support and technical team were having trouble believing we were having ongoing issues with our system. Unfortunately, it took us telling Harbortouch that we were leaving them for them to get to the root of the system's problems. Finally, they worked three days straight to fix all of the issues. We decided to keep both systems for now as Harbortouch has a much more robust system. Still, each uses different credit card processing companies, so hopefully, we can avoid downtime during our three-month, hectic tourist season. Now that Harbortouch fixed all of the issues, their system is much more robust and powerful.

Incentivized

• Positive impact on its simplicity with our growth and ability to teach and transform our business.
• Negative impact on the business with time clock compliance in CA. We need more functionality for the Team Member experience in time clock management.

Incentivized

• Harbortouch makes each transaction very quick and easy so we can keep up during busy times to keep the orders flowing.
• Harbortouch has a good online system so customers can order online during our busy times when we are too busy to keep up with the phones.
• Harbortouch allows us to handle more orders during busy times than other systems we experimented with.
