After a lot of claims about being so much better than Micros or Aloha, I have to say that this system is really exactly the same as Micros or Aloha. There is hardly a difference to be seen in the software. The hardware seems to be essentially the same thing. The software is good. Don't get me wrong. But I don't like it any more or less than Aloha, which is what the salesperson guaranteed. Also, they provide a 'generous' extension to a warranty for 5 years. When I pay this much for a POS system, I think I ought to be able to expect that it is going to last 5 years, without having to pay through the nose for an extended warranty. Sure, the warranty costs less than Aloha. But that just means that they are gouging me less than others. I think this is just a way to pick up extra bucks. I would recommend against all these extended warrantees. It is like a used car lot. I will give them credit, though, for having a good price. The system was - as promised - a lot less than Aloha. So, for that, I will give 3 stars. But expect the system to be virtually identical to the Alohas and Micros of the world. There is nothing earth shattering under the hood.
