STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY..
Comments:
Poor Service..not a good company to deal with . Don't give them your bank account # or credit card.
There are far better alternatives out there.
Get the Apple Square or deal with someone face to face who provides service after the sale
Pros:
Seemed OK in beginning when they were selling the product.. After that All downhill in dependability and service after the sale.
Cons:
hard to reach anyone for tech support .. Debit machines are garbage. After we cancelled by phone they kept taking money from our account and charging our credit card. When we finally got in contact with someone again , we were told we had to terminate through the back office .After trying it didn't work .We advised them again and nothing was done ..They continued to take money from our account and charge our credit card . we were out over 600.00 until we put stop payment at the bank and cancelled the credit card.

Excellent Epos Now Products and even better Operational support
Comments: Excellent. I've always been happy with the product and how easy it is to set up and bring into operational use. But the best thing is the support team who are very able and efficient in fixing those little issues the team come across regardless of whether its a till issue or external factor.
Pros:
Easy to set up, easy to use and training can take a few minutes to do the basics. There are good on-line help guides but the Technical/Support team on the phone have always fixed any minor issues we've had, usually not to do with the product but maybe a Wifi or knowledge issue. Product is not expensive to buy and running costs are low.
Cons:
No real Cons to talk about! I've run two business' where we changed to Epos Now and both have improved our business effectiveness immeasurably.

Alternatives Considered:
Excellent product and even more excellent support
Comments:
From start to present the overall experience has been pleasant with only 1 or 2 minor issues which were swiftly resolved once support were contacted.
The equipment works well and as most of it is cloud based it is all very streamlined.
Pros:
The cloud based back office is great as I personally am not based in the business where our tills are but can access almost everything remotely. Also, on the rare occasion I have required technical support I have faced almost zero hold time and had an exemplary service to fix my issues.
Cons:
It would be nice if I could view the 'till' screens remotely without paying for an extra license. Just to move buttons around etc not to use to actually be a 3rd Till device. Also the bulk import tool should really be included free as part of the package instead of an app with additional subscription cost... although we only really needed it to get setup and the free trial was long enough it would still be handy to have access to this feature.
Great system with growing businesses
Comments: My experience has been great for the most part. I am still in the honeymoon stage with EPOS and have had to ask for help on specifics.
Pros:
Ease of set-up and great access to technical support.
Cons:
Technicians did not know my system and could not provide an owner manual for me to figure out the device and software.

Eposnow getting better
Comments: As mentioned in the pros section, Eposnow have become a lot better over time with better call answering times. I must say, if there is a genuine problem, they do seem to listen and act on your concerns.
Pros:
Eposnow have got a lot better over time. When we first started with them back in 2020 there were a lot of teething problems with the system and mis selling. This has now been solved and we generally have a trouble free system. Their call answering times have gone a lot better albeit there is a long menu to get to the right solution.
Cons:
See above for the cons. I would like their system to be a bit more retail friendly and more flexible, but I suppose you cant have everything.
Epos or no Epos

There is an offline card somewhere within the system, which is taking payments but these payments are not filtering into our account.

Great Till Software
Pros:
It's super easy software to use and it's cheap compared to other ones out there. Till system is great and you rarely have any problems and when you do customer support its amazing. It has changed over the years (been using it since 2017) and they just keep getting better without any additional charge. It connects to shopify and keeps your inventory in sync, which is awesome. Overall honestly, its a great software/till system and I wouldn't hesitate recommending this to anyone.
Cons:
**More like I wish they would have the following** If you don't save any chances (eg when doing a purchase order or editing product items) it doesn't give you a warning before you close the tab. This can cause issues from time to time and would be handy to have a pop-up when closing the tab if the changes are not saved. Shopify app can mess up sometimes and sync the order twice which causes inventory issues but this has to do with the external app rather than eposnow but would be nice to have it fixed. Having the ability to scan the purchase order would be a game changer. for example, currently you can scan the product barcode and then you have to put in the quantity you received. If you can just scan a product and it automatically populates the quantity by 1, this would reduce a lot of manual input.
Appalling company and terrible equipment
Comments: Absolutely shocking. Worlds worst service!
Pros:
Nothing at all this company is shocking in every way
Cons:
Unfortunately I've been stung twice by this company. First time I purchased their software and they didnt support the set up properly, sent me faulty equipment, cut contact once they had my money and overcharged me for support services I never purchased. It took months and months to correct. The second time when I started up my own business I decided to use them reluctantly because it was easy to transfer menus etc across from the old business to the new business. To get the same monthly price I had to pay a year in advance and thats when it went downhill. I paid my money and then the sales advisor [sensitive content hidden] who promised to transfer my menus cut contact and left me with nothing. After weeks of trying to get him to respond and filing complaints the Customer Relations manager with not the correct tech experience attempted to transfer all my menus and lost them all. £200 staff wages menu developing just gone like that! Now the software team are suggesting that menus with sub categories cannot be transferred. What a ridiculous system to set up that cannot thrn be transferred and better still why did no one advise of this before I paid an employee £200 to set up the menus. Now no one is responding to me. Ive paid a years worth of licenses and now got zero service and no till system. Shocking company and the poor service is across the board. Theres plenty other EPOS companies to deal with avoid these money snatchers at all costs as when there are software faults the tech teams are under qualified and just try to wing it regularly making your problems even bigger! AVOID!!

My experience was 10/10
Pros:
I spoke with [sensitive content hidden] about payment for the till which I thought was incorrect.He went through everything with me and explained in a way I could understand and the reasons for this he made me feel comfortable and valued .Wish everybody I spoke with on the phone had his attitude a credit to your company.
Cons:
The only thing I found difficult was getting to right department on the phone to many numbers confusing.

System Keeps Bugging Out, No in-Person Support
Comments: Terrible. Absolutely do not recommend.
Pros:
Nothing. The system bugs out and there’s no support during restaurant hours.
Cons:
That it keeps freezing. Then there’s no support during restaurant hours. I am being charged for things I didn’t sign up for and then the number they give you to sort it out doesn’t go to the right person. On top of this if you don’t sort it out (which you actually can’t), they stop access to your system.

FAKE ADVERTISING WITH NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Comments:
THE WORST INVESTMENT !!!
I CAN NOT RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE.
FAKE CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY ARE BASICALLY CONMEN JUST TAKING MONEY FROM OUR CREDIT CARDS AND BARELY ANY OPTIONS OF STOPING THE PAYMENTS.
Pros:
Nothing! when I was looking for POS systems, I stumbled on this, and thought I should give it s try, once they saw my interest everyone from their team was on my neck constantly emailing me to make payment, and telling me how they'll support us in every step. our business is based in Uganda - Africa
Cons:
Since then Aug 2022, they have been billing us despite the system getting to us like in december, since then they never respond to emails or if you call they put you on hold until your credit ends> very bad customer service, poor support and constantly billing. its now 1 year and 2 months and we have never used this fake system. its still as new as it was purchased. if you can't give us support, at least remove your fake software so we use other systems. this has been the most frustrating investment!!!!

Epos agent sorted problem remotely and fast
Comments: over all experience is good and I would definitely recommend Epos
Pros:
Very much like having a person to speak to when there is an issue. Always fast to respond
Cons:
Epos only allow one representative from the company so codes have to be given in order for other managers to sort problems
