That is nothing the revel systems has been store tested over a 100 transactions an hour. in a Real store environment. Not to many shops can beat that. Check out the transactions live at mixtgreens.com you can go to the store in San Francisco and check out the system itself. They even have a coin dispenser which allows for even faster operations.

<p>Check out aldelo for restaurants pro series. We have been using them for 3 years and are very happy. We purchased the hardware and the aldelo software from 1 company. It ran me $2500 for the complete software, already installed on the hardware package which included touch screen with credit card swipe, hard drive, pole display for customers to see their total plus keyboard with mouse, and automatic cash drawer.

<p>Check out aldelo for restaurants pro series. We have been using them for 3 years and are very happy. We purchased the hardware and the aldelo software from 1 company. It ran me $2500 for the complete software, already installed on the hardware package which included touch screen with credit card swipe, hard drive, pole display for customers to see their total plus keyboard with mouse, and automatic cash drawer. There were no other fees after my initial purchase. If you want year round tech support after the first 3 or 6 months I beleive there was a cost of about $200-$300 for the year. Honestly, anytime I called with a basic question I was able to get an answer without even having to go to tech. support. again we have been operating on it for 3 years without any issues. Very user friendly software with the capabilities for everything I could need. Bottom line I got a great system soup to nuts for $2500 with no additional costs or monthly fees.</p>

<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p>I have a lot of interest in OWN. I think the hardware and software is reasonable priced... it's their monthly fee that scares me... $298/month for two registers! However, the more I thought about it, the more I wondered if the features justified the price... Facebook and Twitter integration, custom coupons, etc. That's targeted advertising that often costs extra if a third party is doing it for the shop. Will the nearly 300 bucks a month be made up in increased communication with customers and increased efficiency? Thoughts?</p>

ShopKeep. Great tech support, low cost of entry, easy (I mean easy) to train. Will a stand alone POS system/hardware stay current at the current pace of technology?

<p>I've been using shopkeep for several months now and i love it! i look at the monthly charge as payment for storing all my info on their 'cloud'. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>a lot of times i'm out of the shop and i can easily see what's happening through my iphone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>keep in mind, the ipad version is very basic - no modifiers, for example. but i love it, my employees love it, and the customers love it!</p>
