"Great system"

5/5

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Cake has a lot of functions that allow us to easily track every aspect of our business and inventory. The system is very easy for our staff to use and requires very little training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

I needed a system that resets at every 14 tickets. Cake does not do that. I went on researching tons of register company’s and none of them have that option. I had reached out to cake about it again and the called me a couple weeks ago and it’s being implemented now!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly, Helpful, and Polite"

5/5

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Ease of use. Currently training 50+ employees and they are learning the execution quickly! Support is helpful and patient with us and helps walk us through the steps without being there. Ashley Udell listens to me at all times and really treats me with respect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

some delays in processes - such as not able to split a check for some time. With that said, updates come eventually and the support team is always willing to hear suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CAKE POS:

Do it - a great experience and I'm extremely happy we switched over. So easy to use and updates can be made quickly on the admin portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CAKE POS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick set up and ease of service. We really enjoy this system. Cost of the product is affordable too. Truthfully I feel like I am a respected client and that my opinion matters. That is a huge benefit to me as my needs are usually met in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best system I've used in 25 yrs"

5/5

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Cake was extremely user friendly, not only for servers and bartenders, but for Management functions and programming. The tech support line was always answered in a timely fashion, as I never waited for over 2 minutes for support. The problems were fixed easily and I never got off the phone without a solution.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

Still developing some software to take the system to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You Can Have Your Cake & Eat it Too"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

The online ordering ability for our customers and the ease of menu additions and edits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

The ability to run reports for a 6mo or 1yr timeline. Have to do monthly or 3 mo report which is more time consuming.

Would love a direct app for the online ordering. Link does not work for all of our customers and it is a turn off for those who are more challenged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Simplicity and easy on the eyes interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

The only thing I can think of is a minor issue that doesn't happen often.

If the router (cradlepoint) were to lose power for any reason, the POS can't be used at all until the router turns back on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cake after 2 years"

5/5

What do you like best about CAKE POS?

Ease of use for the staff. Great administration control from off site. Customer service is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CAKE POS?

The system was based on a grab and go and self check out type food service. Cake has been working on offering more options that a full service restaurant needs. Some of these things like an "86" list are yet to be offered. Cake has said that they are working to offer more features to full service restaurants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Marguth of CAKE POS

Thanks so much, Jed, for your 5-star review! Ease of use and great customer service are something we strive for, so glad to hear you've found it to be helpful for you. We hear you on the full service features, we are adding more of these with all future releases so hold tight! If there is anything you can think of that we can do to improve, definitely share that with us and we will do our best to incorporate these features. Thanks so much for being a customer and growing with us.
