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.

Who Doesn't LOVE CAKE?

The data that CAKE provides me is incredibly valuable to our business. We love it!
The data that CAKE provides me is incredibly valuable to our business. We love it!
Pros
We don't spend any time on training new team members to use our POS System (CAKE). Seriously, it's so easy we show them a few features and they are running it like a pro on day one. That in it's self has saved us a ton of payroll we use to spend on training.
From a ownership perspective, we have four locations and I'm able to track them from my central office, Wonderful!
Cons
Negatives only fall on one piece of the equipment. The cash drawer and the insert in it are not built for the type of abuse they can take in some operations. I wish there was an option to purchase extra drawer inserts.
There are no other negatives about CAKE.
Reasons for Choosing CAKE POS
To provide my customers a better more efficient experience and to allow our team members an easy to use system that we as owners could easily track.Reasons for Switching to CAKE POS
Cake seemed to have a more durable product. The biggest reason was....When I spoke with all the sales staff from the different companies the CAKE representatives were the only ones that never talked negatively about their competitors. That let me know they didn't need to degrade the other guys, they had faith in the system they were selling. I now have the same faith in CAKE.- Used Daily for 1+ year

I can't think of anything this POS does better than the one we replaced. If it wouldn't crash all the time, we could benefit from not having the servers leave the floor to put orders in and run credit cards, but since they are constantly crashing, we don't have that benefit.
Pros
Easy to use interface.
Order Pads should allow servers to spend more time on the floor
Inexpensive POS System.
Cons
It doesn't work when we need it to. We've been trying to get the issues resolved via Cake Support and Sysco Management for more than 8 months. It isn't getting any better. As soon as the dining room gets busy the Order Pad Apps crashes. All of our servers need to have paper and pencil ready at all times to complete their orders and stand in line at the terminal to enter them every rush. It seldom happens when we are slow. Orders get lost during entry causing double work to recover the in flight order, after printing in the kitchen causing them not to be charged on the customer's bill, and customer credit cards have been double billed as a result of Order Pad disconnects. We are spending hours with Cake Support that we should be spending working our business. We have to keep 1 person available to capture trouble shooting information for Cake Support during our rushes when (not if) the Order Pads go down. Cake Support is always busy, but will eventually call back. When they do, they aren't very knowledgeable with troubleshooting, they don't seem to be trained to go any deeper than the Cake University screens. The cheap price of the Cake system has become a huge expense in manpower and wasted time in our restaurant.
