Quick and efficient. After a call most of the times there’s a follow up to verify if worked. > > **Cons**: Not as user friendly on the back end. Some of the features needed to be a little bit more well explained. > > It’s mostly good, with a few issues on the back end and ease of use. Customer support makes up for most of the issues. ----- ### "Easy to use and stable" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *May 5, 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great little POS system and very stable. I like the program and its simplicity, very fast and does a good job > > **Cons**: Requires support and does not have a mobile option Not much integration with payment systems and works with certain printers not all ----- ### "Good for very basic POS. Other than that, avoid." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 26, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quite a bit of information can be entered/customised with the software, although it's difficult to get it exactly the way you want it. It's also nice that it has multiple currency options. > > **Cons**: Like with anything, if you use it enough you get used to it and become quicker at it. This might be fine if the software could keep up, but unfortunately it's very slow and very inneficient. Freezes quite often. Not very intuitive for new staff, and the tickets are very hard to read. The UI is very archaic. ----- ### "Squirrel is a great way to make your restaurant run faster and more efficiently." — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *May 24, 2018* > > **Pros**: Squirrel is a very effective way not only to take orders from customers, but to expedite the service. When a server enters the order into the pos system, it goes directly where it needs to go.. Drink service goes to the bar, hot service goes to the kitchen, etc, etc. It's easy it impute menu changes and 86 anything that you've run out of for the day. IF your a restaurant that makes changes to your menu daily, this system is an amazing help. It also helps with back end stuff for payments and tips etc... You can also incorporate management functions and set up different users which really helps with theft and promotion abuse. Did I mention that it was compatible with your cell phone? The program also is very secure for the cardholders at your restaurant. NO worries about employees taking information and using it in an unlawful manner. > > **Cons**: I like squirrel. There's not too much I can say negatively about it. I would like to know if we open another location, if there is a way to transfer all the menu data into the other location without having to reconfigure the system? I know there has to be a way to do it because mass restaurant chains use this system. ----- ### "Squirrel is easy to use and easy to learn" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *August 4, 2022* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nice interface, ease of use, and easy to solve problems that may arise. > > **Cons**: I wasn't ever able to do an "open" ticket or ring anything up that wasn't already in the system. > > I thought it was better than the old system we had, which was Micros ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/43475/squirrel-pos?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/43475/squirrel-pos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
