A sensational application to make our private businesses more efficient such as bars, restaurants y premises dedicated to hospitality in general. And more considering that a similar app for our laptops is costing around 300 Euros up.
Hi, the main problem I see is that the information is saved locally. If you are alone in your place doing everything, it can be useful, but if you cannot send the command to the kitchen directly or everything is not saved in an account that synchronizes with all the devices…. Yes, it looks attractive, but it is too lame for real business use
Yes, you can, you can even send the order to a printer.
greetings friend
According to the specifications, the content is saved locally. And send the command to a printer? what sense does that make in 2014? as I say, it looks good and visually I find it very pleasant, but it lacks a lot to be truly useful
all the best
A lot of sense if you live in a country where the internet is of poor quality and you drop it every moment!
There has been a very similar solution on the market for a long time @swaPay
Hello, thank you very much for your comments. We are in the process of continuing to improve Pozool, and each version comes with more features. Chotus, you are right our users also need the cloud version and we hope to release it soon, it is in production. However, we consider there are small businesses that only need to have their local data, especially those that do not have easy access to the Internet. Any comments, criticism or suggestions are welcome in Pozool, you can contact them at contact@atech-mobile.com
Thank you very much for taking the time Francisco to write this article and make such a complete video. 🙂
The tool is very interesting, it shows that you know the sector.
I only miss a means of payment for all types of customers. If you may be interested in accepting cards too, we can talk.
All the best
Hello I would like to know if I can enter an address for delivery and where to do it so that it is printed on the ticket, thanks in advance.
Good afternoon.
I saw that the new update has problems. the comments are a lot and they affirm that it is turned off and that it does not allow the end of the box etc .. now the high season begins and I would like to know if it is already fixed thanks
Giovanni, if we solved the problem in less than 24 hours. You can test it if it works for your business and send us your comments or suggestions, which will always be welcome. This weekend we are going to launch a new version to increase the stability of the application. Thanks for your comment.
Does it include daily cash closing? thanks and good job
No Giovanni we have pending this issue but we hope to incorporate this feature soon. We're sorry for the inconvinience. Thank you for your comments.
okay. luck and congratulations
Hello, I have been testing the app on my tablet and it is going very well but I have a question, I have a sandwich shop and I have not found a way to add sauces to the dishes: «Loin sandwich» «+ Mayonnaise», what I tried was to create a new group called sauces, but of course adding two sandwiches groups the two sandwiches together and the two sauces together .. 🙁
Is there any way to fix that? If it were not implanted, do you have any thought of doing it?
Thanks and regards!
It would be nice if one could design their own ticket
Hello, the app is very good, I think it's fantastic. A suggestion would be to be able to accept more payment methods apart from the ones that it brings by default. I do not understand how they can leave it for free. Although for me it is fantastic
Very good app. Currently there are many of these POS apps that are becoming web applications to be compatible with any model and operating system.
Can it be configured for a cash drawer? Since my printer is connected to my tablet via bluethoo. Thanks
is it available in venezuela?
How can I delete the products that it brings by default and correct the ones that I already added, such as for example. price and / or any misspelling or photo.
