"It makes your job easier"
What do you like best about PAR POS?

I like that I can log in and clock in and out pretty easy and that a sales transaction can be completed in a number of seconds compared to a old cash register which might take at the most 60 Seconds or more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PAR POS?

How to start off I think that it is a very smart intelligent operating system there's little things that I do not like for instance the screen timeout whenever I'm trying to take an order and they're taking a long time to tell me what they want another is certain buttons like the $50 bill button Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Par Ready for the Future"
What do you like best about PAR POS?

Brink is expandable with our business. It is very user-friendly from the Front of House side. Hardware is robust. Simple to operate. Sales Team is great and available to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PAR POS?

Back of house systems only work on Silverlight which limits accessibility to make changes on the fly. Need to go through support more that needed. Heard that will change in 2019 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Improvement in POS Tech"
What do you like best about PAR POS?

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.

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.

"Very easy POS with almost everything you need"
What do you like best about PAR POS?

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.

Web based internet access, immediate updating of all locations, access to timely data from all locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PAR POS?

Inability for the system to display the correct calculations of basic math on promotions and refunds. Inconsistency with approvals on credit card transactions getting back to Brink so that a check can get closed out. The inability of Brink to resolve such basic yet highly important issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
