My IT guys can fix many issues that we have ringing orders in. > > **Cons**: One area that could be improved is "adjusting total" for the customer if an item had been left out. On ALOHA we could delete the item that was left out and it would adjust the new subtotal to the card that was run for that order. With Brink we have to do a separate refund for the one item. I think this is less convenient for the customer. > > The customer service is what takes Brink to the next level. The phone is always answered, and my problems are resolved quickly. I also never have to press numbers to get through to someone. A real person answers the phone and quickly gets me to where i need to go. ----- ### "Great enterprise solution with opportunities yet for the traditional pizza players" — 4.0/5 > **Brandi** | *26 June 2018* > > **Pros**: We have business insights in real time with Brink being a cloud-based solution. This also means updates can be pushed out to locations immediately with very minimal lag time. Their menu management services are also ideal for our brand's needs. > > **Cons**: While it is easy to use, it isn't ideal for the traditional pizzeria at this time due to the lack of in-house delivery functionality as well as the challenge that the pizza category brings to the table regarding menu build out (half and half, one for one ingredient substitutions, multiple sizes of the same item, etc.) ----- ### "Worst POS ever - have lost money" — 1.0/5 > **Cristina** | *28 August 2021* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reporting although need a significant upgrade as it's not user friendly > > **Cons**: Lack of accountability, if there are technical issues RDS is not responsible for missing bank transfers and restaurant end up losing hundreds of money for sales done that are never wired to the bank account. I wouldn't recommend using Brink POS > > I'm a restaurant owner and have lost more than $10,000 of sales that due to technical reasons were never wired to my bank account. It was reported to RDS management since April 2021 and despite of endless emails, I haven't received any concrete answer and more important . All what I have been told is that RDS is not liable for any missing wire transfers ----- ### "immediate response, follow ups from support, excellent customer service" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *19 June 2017* > > **Pros**: excellent customer service, cloud based, easy to access reports and make updates from anywhere. great value. > > **Cons**: feature updates and not necessarily getting a "done by date," ----- ### "very easy to use. operators love it. overall i'm much happier with brink vs aloha." — 4.0/5 > **john** | *13 June 2017* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use, doesn't break, i like my sales guy > > **Cons**: i never know what's in development track or how that will help me i have open support tickets that i feel never get resolved > > ease of use. no headaches. Also i give out a ton of references on brinks behalf. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/127801/brink-pos?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/127801/brink-pos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
