About Aloha Cloud

Aloha brings restaurants to life. As the industry-leading POS and management platform provider, Aloha has been built and refined by working with the best minds directly from the restaurant industry for over 30 years.

Aloha’s core capabilities include fixed and handheld POS, Aloha Order Direct for online ordering, loyalty, email marketing, robust reporting, and payment processing. With Aloha Essentials or Aloha Cloud, brands can choose between on-premise or cloud-based POS without sacrificing quality, functionality or 24/7 access to support.

Aloha POS features are designed hand-in-hand with customers, industry veterans and some of the most recognized usability experts to ensure that Aloha users can learn the system quicker, do their jobs faster and make fewer mistakes.


Key benefits of Aloha Cloud

• Get paid faster with next day funding: customers can continue to focus on running their business with average 1-day turnaround for merchant payout. Delayed funding (some competitors can take 2+ days and those who fund quickly have specific banks they fund faster with) can cause added stress and micromanagement of finances to ensure money is available to maintain operations.

• Take orders and payments from anywhere in the restaurant with handhelds: our handheld is one of the smallest on the market, is easy to use and fits comfortably in an apron. With payments and an order-taking UI that matches the fixed terminals, servers are free to go outside on the patio or wherever they may need to bust lines or turn tables. Less visits to the terminal means more time giving customers a great experience.

• Intuitive user interface built with purpose: The Aloha Cloud user interface is easy to learn and easy to train. The UI is the same on both the fixed terminal and handheld device. Ensuring servers can efficiently take and send orders as well as manage payments.

• Tablet farm freedom: Aloha Cloud’s delivery marketplace integration via Chowly ensures restaurant operators can manage their delivery services from the POS rather than a cluttered expo or counter full of tablets.

• Get up and running quick: Aloha Cloud is easy to implement and customers can be up and running in a week or less. Operators also have access to 24/7 support for any ongoing needs or questions.

NCR support is generally very good but the software has a huge learning curve. That said once you learn it, it is unlikely to change.

Pros

Aloha POS is like one of those giant old swiss army knife. Sure you only need a knife but it also has this and that. For when you need them.

Cons

Given the size and base of Aloha its a slow to move monolith and thus feature implementation is limited and slow. For example customizing the button colors on the digital POS screen is only implemented in select cases.

They are an awful company. Their support system is a disaster. I don't know how many times I called NCR Silver for support and get a recording "hello we are experiencing an extremely high call volume. We will get back to you..." IF they get back to you it's hours later when customers have already left because we could not complete our transaction.

When my system was first set up, it was set up improperly based upon their support set up. After it was up and running it caused many delays where we could not input customers information and finalize the sale. So often, we received an error message "that item already exists and must create a new ticket" We call NCR Silver and was advised to proceed in an incorrect manner where the issues were never resolved. AFTER 3 YEARS OF THIS NONSENSE, It took my representative to resolve the issue after numerous hours on the telephone.

After all this, I asked for a partial credit to my account as they were responsible for the horrible software program. First, a manager would not even talk to me and flat out refused any credit. Then I asked for her manager. He did not even reply back to me.

This company is supposed to be a publicly traded company. Their program is horrible and customer support is equal par. HORRIBLE!!!! Ger professional NCR and the managers need to start getting involved with a customer instead of acting like they are holier than thou.....

Pros

We really did not like anything about the solftware. It was very difficlut to operate and there are many issues that NCR is not fixing. The multiple steps to complete a customer transaction is too long. They also do not have enough employees where I have wasted large amount of time waiting for their reps.

Cons

When we call NCR as the merchant to assist on failures of the software program, they do not respond immediately. Their phone system states, if you want to wait for the next avaiable representative press #2 on the phone. This message is repeated almost every 10 seconds. This is very difficult and discouraging.... Of course I want to wait for a representative... Do I have a choice????

Response from NCR VOYIX

We apologize for the NCR Silver experience not meeting your expectations. Not sure what happened with the "item already exists" issue, but it should never take that long for a problem to get resolved. Thanks for pointing it out to us.

As with any call center, sometimes reps get busy. That is why our award-winning customer support team also offers text, chat and email support. A text for example can solve simple issues substantially quicker. We also, by far, have the most extensive customer support team out of any cloud POS provider and offer live 24/7 support in addition to free set up, monthly menu maintenance, training and more. It's truly a comprehensive service.

As for transaction speeds, the UI in version 4.0 is extremely fast and it vastly streamlined an already quick customer checkout experience.

We have sent your comments to our customer care department, which will be reviewing it.

iPad POS that includes marketing tools!

Reviewed on 14/03/2019

Pros

Having email templates included was huge for us. Customer data integrates with emails, allowing us to segment our customers and send personalized deals.

Cons

Email templates are not as attractive as something like MailChimp, so a working knowledge of html coding can help make them more appealing
