What do you like best about Lavu?

FOH interface is easy to use. There are limitations with every app - for example, the size of the screen. You have to deal with a small iPad screen, and I think you do very well with that. Or with splitting items/checks. Something is always going to be sacrificed. But I never have a problem while splitting checks - you just have to work around your system. BOH system is easy to use and update on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lavu?

· When some feature of Lavu goes down, customer support is very guarded and secretive. They won't just admit there is a problem and say 'this is when we expect to be back online' or 'this is the problem, we're not sure when we'll be back online.' Although I've been on hiatus for a few months, so you may have solved this problem.

· Is there a reason servers can't + an item after it's been saved/sent? I'm talking about items that don't go to a kitchen printer.

· I wish there was a way to run a cashout after the batch, but before the server has clocked in again.

·I would like it to be easier to look up server sales or individual item sales for previous days. Such as, there was a discount on item A two days ago; who discounted it and who was the server. But again, I realize there must be limitations to this.

·Is there a way to discount a whole ticket without the sales tax still showing up?

· Also I'm trying upload the screenshot they asked for on this survey to confirm that I'm a user, and it won't accept any pictures at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect software for a small/medium café/restaurant"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lavu?

The Ux is simple and easy to teach and understand, the ability to go to the back end to add or edit food items and inmediatly see the changes on the app is wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lavu?

Not all the features work in my country (Mexico) as the PayPal function; the inventory management lacks functionality and its difficult to use the "back end" website on an iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Clementi of Lavu

Hi Ruben, thank you so much for your feedback! It's great to hear from our global customers. We are currently working towards making sure all of our features work in other countries as well!

"Lavu is the best pos for our company"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lavu?

One of the advantages of this software is that we can use it even offline, to view inventory management, employee management, discount management and other available tools. The promotion and discount management has very effective suggestions and is very easy to activate and implement. It has real-time sales and order reports and metrics to monitor daily sales at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lavu?

The system has presented us with failures at the time of debiting payments, the card does not seem to pass and you have to verify by the movements, if the payment was canceled or not. The software is quite easy to use, but in the end it contains many options that could overwhelm and make navigation a little clumsy. When we had problems with the credit card, we submitted a report to technical support and never got a response, we had to get outside help for the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Clementi of Lavu

Hi Daniel, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback! We love to hear that Lavu has helped you streamline your business. We are sorry that you have experienced issues with debiting payments, and we hope to make sure the issue doesn't happen again.

"It is an easy format system that has worked well with our menu selection."
4/5
What do you like best about Lavu?

The menu structure works well with our extensive selection. It is relatively user friendly and has an administrative creation website that works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lavu?

Concern about costs/price. We don't want to have to change our point of sales systems to another platform but if prices rise, then we may have to. Communication of any pricing changes needs to be timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Clementi of Lavu

Hi Joe, thanks so much for your feedback! We love hearing from our customers. We know the times are a little crazy, but we are doing everything in our power to make sure Lavu stays the same price.

"Lavu has issues that need attention."
0/5
What do you like best about Lavu?

Lavu is a cloud-based POS and so data and reports are delivered in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lavu?

The support is outsourced and not very good. Reports are inaccurate for companies with multiple locations. This is a bug that was reported years ago and never fixed. The gift card integration is buggy. One of the most disappointing aspects is the offline mode which is non-existent although it is an advertised feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
