NCR Aloha Cloud has proved to be an invaluable tool in various restaurants and event centers, serving as a crucial part of the sales process. Users have reported that the software enables seamless communication between front and back of house staff, facilitating real-time execution of restaurant service. Front of house staff can easily send detailed orders to the kitchen, including specific timings and coursings, while the back of house receives orders through a system of printers, ensuring items are directed to the appropriate station for preparation. With its user-friendly interface, NCR Aloha Cloud has streamlined the checkout process with separate tabs for efficient organization and quick access to items. Additionally, users have found the lookup feature for items without buttons to be particularly helpful, as it ensures all products are easily accessible for ringing up. This software also extends beyond just point of sale functionality; it is used across organizations for time management purposes, inventory management, scheduling, tip declarations, and more.

In addition to its success in traditional restaurants, NCR Aloha Cloud has proven its versatility in other settings as well. For instance, it serves as the point of sale system for food and drink operations at a casino, covering both front and back of house as well as office sides. It is also utilized in full-service restaurants where it manages point-of-sale transactions and time management for efficient operations. Furthermore, this software acts as a point-of-sale system for entertainment and dining options, with registers seamlessly synced to each other. While some users have opted to switch to other systems for specific locations or purposes, overall feedback highlights NCR Aloha Cloud's simplicity and ease of use even for new users.

Efficient Check Splitting: A common positive sentiment among reviewers is the ease with which NCR Aloha Cloud allows for splitting checks.

By automatically breaking down items and total checks by seat, this feature minimizes interruption and slows down service lessens interruptions during busy periods.

Customization Limitations: Some reviewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the limited customization options in NCR Aloha Cloud, particularly when it comes to receipt settings and POS screen personalization. These users feel that more flexibility in customizing messages on receipts and individual server's POS screens would greatly improve communication and speed of service.

They have reported difficulties with end-of-day functions, especially in 24-hour establishments where open items auto-close, potentially causing problems. Additionally, some users have mentioned that certain features like the auto spooldown feature do not work as expected and need to be addressed by the development team.

Limited Tech Support: A common concern among reviewers is the availability and response time of tech support for NCR Aloha Cloud. Users have expressed frustration with needing assistance from tech support to perform tasks such as adding or deleting tabs due to the constant growth and updates of the program. They also mention that getting timely help from tech support can be challenging, which hampers their ability to resolve issues promptly.
