Strengths & Weaknesses

Epos Now
Rezku
Pros
✓Low upfront cost — the hardware bundle headline (around $349) undercuts restaurant-native rivals
✓Flat, published software pricing ($99–$299/mo) in a niche that mostly hides behind quotes
✓Transparent flat card processing at 2.6% + 10¢ with free refunds and no long-term processing contract
✓Customer support is the dominant praise across reviews — 24/7, U.S.-based, no extra charge
✓Runs on your own iPad or Epos Now tablet kit — not locked to fully proprietary hardware
✓Unlimited 1:1 training, menu building, and in-house support included in every tier
✓Ingredient-level inventory with automated purchase orders and low-stock alerts
✓Genuine all-in-one: POS, KDS, online ordering, loyalty, inventory, and employee management in one login
✓KDS groups tickets by course and order type to speed the line during a rush
✓Offline mode keeps terminals ringing sales and printing tickets through an internet drop
✓In-house payments plus accounting, loyalty and reservation integrations in one platform
✓Bar/brewery-friendly with pour-monitoring hardware integrations most POS vendors skip
Cons
✗Reporting depth is the dominant gap — basics are covered but data-driven operators outgrow it
✗Reporting depth is the top reviewer complaint — operators want more configurable reports than the base product gives
✗Fees draw recurring complaints even with the flat published processing rate
✗Hardware cost and constraints come up as a friction point in reviews
✗Integrations can bring gaps or friction connecting some third-party tools
✗Some reviewers flag price and fees relative to expectations
✗The mobile app experience is a repeated gripe in reviews
✗Card processing runs through a third-party processor at a rate quoted per merchant — no published rate, no bring-your-own processor
✗Software subscription is sold by quote with no public monthly price
✗Implementation is billed separately from the software subscription
✗General retail-and-hospitality platform — restaurant workflows are broader but shallower than restaurant-only rivals
✗Third-party review base is modest (42 on Capterra), so the score reflects a satisfied core rather than a high-volume consensus

Who uses restaurant software — and what each person does with it

🧑‍🍳 Owner / GM

Watches sales, food cost, labor and prime cost across shifts and locations on one dashboard — sees which menu items and dayparts actually make money.

📋 Floor manager

Builds the schedule against forecasted sales, approves shift swaps, seats the floor and clears the waitlist, and pulls the daily close from the POS.

🍽️ Server / FOH

Fires orders from the POS or a handheld, splits and adjusts checks, takes payment tableside, and the kitchen sees the ticket instantly on the KDS.

👨‍🍳 Kitchen / BOH

Works tickets on the kitchen display with station routing and timers, marks items 86'd, and depletes inventory automatically as dishes sell.

The flow the software runs end to end: guest orders (dine-in, online or delivery) → ticket fires to the KDS → items depleted from inventory → payment captured at the POS → sales, food and labor cost post to reporting and accounting → schedule and purchasing adjust to the numbers. Each stage hands off to the next without re-keying.
