Worst POS system ever **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rebecca B. | Server/Bartender, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Squirrel POS?** Quite frankly I don’t like it all. It’s impossible to edit anything at any part of the order process. **What do you dislike about Squirrel POS?** It’s set up is completely backwards than any other system I’ve ever used. Not to mention it’s totally out of date. It won’t even communicate with the opera system on discover cards and sometimes any credit cards. They have to then be voided out and must be comped which looks bad to your boss (as the server) and to the guest (for a voided or incomplete payment or under the impression that we only accept a handful of card types not every card type). **Recommendations to others considering Squirrel POS:** Don’t do it. If you like constantly getting froze out of your system, or enjoy migraines then consider it. I highly recommend you trash the whole system and move on. **What problems is Squirrel POS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I literally can’t think of anything beneficial. It only causes problems, doesn’t solve them. Sometimes my checks disappear altogether or they’re frozen but when you try to open it, it says there’s nothing on the check. My printers are always reassigning themselves to other non existent routers. It’s a mess. ### 35.

The computer is an old one, so the touch speed isn't up to par compared to using an iPad for example. Sometimes, the order doesn't send to the kitchen, setting us back. **Recommendations to others considering Squirrel POS:** Training is definitely needed first. **What problems is Squirrel POS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Restaurant service efficiency, customer service, optimizing communication between all employees.
