Point of Sale Systems

Xero

Kounta is used across our entire business. We operate with three points of sale and it integrates seamlessly with our cloud accounting software, Xero. It allows us to track inventory, stock control and provides detailed analytics and sales data. Additionally, it integrates with our merchant facilities which minimises the potential of user error. Overall, adopting Kounta has contributed to an improvement in end of day sales reconciliation and fewer discrepancies.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Intuitive user interface
Integrates with merchant facility
Integrates with accounting software

Things done well

An easier to modify table plan
A dedicated 'print receipt' button
Improved sync times

Things done poorly

Kounta is particularly well suited to small to medium sized hospitality businesses. It has a great many number of add-ons and integrations that enhance the user experience and its general usefulness from a back end perspective. For example, there is the ability to program automatic menu surcharges for certain circumstances, such as public holidays. It also handles bill-splitting well. It could possibly be less appropriate for venues that need extremely detailed sales data, or for those venues that have very complicated menus or ordering options.

Integration with merchant terminals

Most Important Features 3.4.21

It has dramatically minimised errors regarding order taking and docket printing
With the merchant facility integration, it has virtually eliminated user input error with regards to receipt of monies
Sales, wastage and inventory data allows for better stock and wastage control

Return on Investment

We moved from Vend to Kounta because of Kounta's enhanced functionality for the hospitality domain. Vend was, at the time, more oriented towards the retail industry and so it lacked key features that would have allowed our business to grow and become more efficient. Over time, Kounta has continually improved and adapted to better suit its customers' needs.
