Brink POS is a cloud-based platform, which runs on a variety of devices. Further, it does not rely on an in-house server, so if your main computer goes down, your registers will still operate. However, an active and robust internet connection is required. The software is easy to use, and decently well-designed. It is optimized for touch. The POS system can be updated easily, and boot times are generally much quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PAR POS? As compared to some other platforms, which are showing their age, Brink POS is a good update for the future. Is it perfect? No - it does have it's own little quirks - but it's a good step in the right direction. Once an item is rung in, it stays selected, and must be un-selected before selecting a different item to modify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PAR POS solving and how is that benefiting you? The system is much more responsive - the registers are quick to boot up, and are not reliant upon a back office server. They are compatible with separate payment devices, which are chip and Apple Pay capable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super simple to program and control, nice reports and decent hardware. The POS also basically includes everything you need with lots of features. No need to go to another party for additional features like loyalty and on-line ordering or scheduling. It's all built into the system. The support we get from PAR is excellent too. Replacing broken hardware was quick and easy. We also liked that the POS integrated seamlessly without above store reporting package from Decision Logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PAR POS? The menu programming is not very flexible for multi-unit and multi-concept chains. They need a better way to stage and push menu changes. The current publishing methods can cause issues too easily. Things like open orders can become un-closable from an update mid-day. Also, to get on-line ordering working we had to switch our normal credit card processing company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PAR POS: The setup is best performed by PAR technicians. So if you are used to doing yourself, you will feel a bit odd with this format of support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PAR POS solving and how is that benefiting you? We wanted a very modern POS for a new concept with tablet style ordering and newer payment methods. PAR was able to get most of it going day one, but waiting for newer payment methods to come to market first. Our new concept was a simple concept too, so the simplistic methods used in PAR met our needs extremely well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
