Hi,
I’m loooking to start up a small pizzeria in New Zealand. It’ll be 95% dine-in only, with maybe a tiny amount of take-out, but no delivery. We’ll be serving essentially authentic neapolitan pizza and it’ll have a pretty small food menu, but I will have a bar.
I have been looking at the various POS options (both locally and abroad) and quickly realized that you can spend a truckload of time on researching them all and after you’ve made your mind up you will then spend a truckload of money.
I’m almost tempted to go to manual tickets (if you have any feedback on this, please go ahead).
If I am going the POS way, it will be single terminal and I want cheap (this is a new startup so every penny counts).
Now I have come across some second hand hardware here that is quite cheap and it has a POS on it already, called AmigoPOS, albeit an older version of the software. So I did a bit of research. One thing I like is that they allow you to download a fully functioning demo (it just puts company slogan on printed output), so you can play to your hearts content. Its not too expensive (US 495) and I can probably get an upgrade for US $375.- I have compared it with Point of Success and it seems to have a lot more features, that are normally upgrades or add/ons (Table management etc).
So, given my scenario, are there any other options out there that I should have a look at?
And, if anybody knows anything about Amigopos, good, bad or ugly, I’d love to hear your feedback.
Cheers
Peter
