Ideal for small businesses.
Their inflexibility with upgrades and custom requests is a dealbreaker for me.
Pros
The support team is highly efficient. Thanks for that.
Cons
It is not an ERP system, it's just a POS system. We have to switch to an ERP that also has POS.

We were a small business back then and it was good enough for taking orders and send them to the kitchen KDS.

Lavu POS Review
used to have excellent customer service, but our system went down two days before xmas and we were unable to run credit cards for half the day. second busiest day since july. Couldn't enter tips that day either.
and i tried calling them 3 times that night, plus an email. their chat hasn't worked in months.
4 days later I still have not heard from them
Pros
i don't remember why I chose them over the three other ones I tried a couple of years ago.
I think because I could use my own credit card processor.
But its easy enough to use for the features that i use which are basic operation of cash register
it is intuitive and takes little training
Cons
things go wrong, the printer drops offline a lot and needs help getting back. sometimes its the wifi that reconfigures to a different wifi, sometimes the printer just randomly stops working.
I can't use the staff scheduling because they insist that work week starts on sunday, yet that is halfway through the weekend. our schedule and pay period run monday- sunday
but I am now looking for a system that can organize cake orders for a week or a month after the order is taken, which most systems don't do.
Also they said that my gift cards would integrate, but they did not
Response from Lavu
