## Reviews

### "An Industry Standard" — 4.0/5

> **Andy** | *December 11, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Aloha simply does nearly whatever you need it to. It truly is an industry standard within bars/restaurants.  Ease of use, simple "buttons", and very easily navigated
> 
> **Cons**: In the capacity I used it at the restaurant, there were no glaring "cons" with day-to-day use

-----

### "A good product that did not keep up with the times" — 4.0/5

> **William** | *June 9, 2020* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The front of house interface is relatively easy to use. Quick and easy to navigate. The back of the house component is moderately easy to use and change.
> 
> **Cons**: The problem with this platform, is that because of its design, it can not keep up with regulatory or technological advancements. It was a major outlay financially, and because ti is not flexible, it can not be brought up to date, it needs to be replaced.
> 
> We us Aloha for Point of sale at a restaurant. Our biggest problem, is that we can't do basic necessary upgrades like accept chip reader credit cards, or online ordering. Our server software is not compatible without windows 10 and windows 97 is out of date.

### "Behind the times" — 3.0/5

> **Elizabeth** | *November 13, 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Aloha was great in the late 00's when it was the most advanced POS system around. It has detailed reporting and is widely known in the hospitality industry
> 
> **Cons**: It is not cloud based. Your computer goes down, god speed\! The reports are clunky and hard to define if you want to drill down.

### "Good but probably outdated" — 4.0/5

> **Roscoe** | *November 14, 2018* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy for waiters to use.  Reports are easy to read.  The hardware is fairly robust, purpose built.
> 
> **Cons**: Service once was wonderful, but since NCR bought them a couple of years ago it’s a cluster fuck.  Initial support is routed to India where you’re on hold for 10 - 20 minutes, to talk to someone whose only solution is to reboot, which of course we’ve already done.  Then they can only “escalate” which means it gets routed to another idiot in India who calls you back in a couple of days to tell you to reboot the system.  Then it gets escalated again and in a week you get a call from the local office who fixes it in 5 min.   And they only in the last few months have developed chip readers, which without it, requires you take a 300 question PCI compliance exam every 6 months, only to fail because you don’t have a chip reader, then you have to apply for an exemption which you always get, but still, hours of work because no chip reader.  Loved my local office who sold me the machine, can’t do it again though.
> 
> Loved East Bay Cash Register who sold me two systems, but now that NCR manages them, it’s over.  Bye

>

> 
> **Cons**: Can’t really think of anything I dislike about aloha.
>
