-QR codes printed directly on receipts give your restaurant a fast and touchless way to accept payments.


Key benefits of CAKE POS

Independent and mid-size restaurant chains will appreciate CAKE’s restaurant management system.

For Independent owners, the POS will replace their current system and give them cloud-based technology. This will open the door to much faster and more organized restaurant management.

For small to mid-size chains looking to extend the service of the existing POS system, CAKE’s robust software can empower staff to perform tasks much faster, which allows for faster table turns and more revenue.

Overall, owners can expect an easy-to-use, durable, bezel-less 15-inch touchscreen where staff can use the CAKE POS to:

-Place orders.
-Manage reservations and seating.
-Process payments.
-Manage menus.
-Modify items.
-Manage online ordering to reduce digital walkaways.
-Send order updates to curbside pickup customers.
-Organize labor cost reporting.
-Schedule employees.

To complete the restaurant management system, owners can grow through reporting and dashboards that perform various functions:

-Analyze menu items that bring you the most sales.
-See what sales are trending over time.
-See what days and shifts are the busiest.
-See employees' sales, voids, discounts, and hours.
-Real-time dynamic reports are stored in the cloud and accessible through a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
-Filter your data to understand exactly what is going in your restaurant.
-Refine data by employee, payment type, order type, and more.
-Download reports through CSV and PDF downloads.

I got an affordable, and effective solution for my POS system needs. We all have found the menus and programming to be easy

Pros

The price is the most attractive feature, as well as the ease of use. The flexible and affordable monthly payments are nice too.

Cons

Can't use terminal when someone is using the manager functions on other terminal. There are some short delays in running reports at times.

Response from Mad Mobile

You can contact me directly or follow the reddit thread regarding Cake POS. I have continued to update my experience with Cake POS and it is bad. Consistently poor experience at every turn and every new challenge of the restaurant.

Pros

It is a simple product but it is not for a table-service restaurant. Best for a simple counter service operation.

Cons

Customer service has been horrible. Bad attitudes, lack of help, and terrible at resolving issues.Tripled charged me for additional POS system.TERRIBLE installation strategy. Self-Installation with no assistance if it doesn't work. WHAT?Fabio blamed ME for the installation not working. It is a simple plug and play but what happens when that doesn't work. They shrug and say it is your fault. Wow. I've had much better experiences with LightSpeed/Upserve and SpotOn at my other restaurants.Avoid this at all costs.

Reasons for Choosing CAKE POS

Sometimes you make mistakes with your decisions and they have minor impacts. Choosing CAKE POS is a MAJOR negative impact that has resulted in LOST SALES for the restaurant in a tough environment.Anyone can contact me to discuss my experience more. Cake does not care about the customer and has never cared about my negative experiences.

Best System Yet!

The rep, our contact person at Cake, is AWESOME!!! :)

Pros

User-friendly, love that we can make changes off-site, looking forward to using their Guest Manager program and online ordering!

Cons

We wish the pizza part of their system was easier to use. Half & Half pizzas are almost 50% of our orders, and it is not the easiest to enter on this current version. The only think we liked better with one of our former systems, is that it showed an actual picture of a pizza and we could click and drag toppings from one side to the other. Much easier and better visually. We are hoping Cake implements this in the future. :) (Hope that helps).

Strictly on our referral. We never tried Toast. And, we primarily use Sysco, who is the food vendor who supports Cake.
