Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Hospitality

I use Oracle Simphony as a POS solution in our three restaurants. The system should address several problems, but unfortunately has only created more for our team. In my opinion, the support is unknowledgeable about their own product and has to escalate every single ticket, resulting in tickets being open for weeks, months, and in our case years... yes years.

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.
