Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • App interface is aesthetically pleasing, reporting was descent. Backend was decently easy to navigate
  • The sale Screen and the Reporting is nice and thats about all I have to say about this system's "pros".
  • This system is relatively easy to use with some very nice features which is what made me choose them in the first place. It is an excellent system for helping with inventory management. The ecom side is also fairly easy to pick up and manage.
  • Flexibility and ease of use. Responsive customer service. Basic software provides more-than-adequate reporting.
  • The ease of getting help when needed. The support options are readily available and the response time is above average.

Cons

  • Customer support was the worst. The absolute worst account managers. Never could get answers when we needed them. Constant tax form mistakes that have costed us loads of money to fix with IRS & CPA. Slow & outdated. You can tell that it’s made by someone who has never actually worked in a restaurant.
  • Customer Service has no idea how their software works and every time I message in the chatbox, call in, or email in I will always get different answers and some people will say we don't do that and some people will say "yes we do that" and then close you service ticket the next day. Pricing went up for both the plan and our CC rates after only 8 months even though we were told they would not hike up rates. decent software but a TERRIBLE team. also your "account manager" is a glorified salesman who does not actually help you with anything, I wanted to change my plan options around and I was told to just do it on the website. Upon entering this review I noticed that ALL the positive reviews are from prior to 2023.
  • Be prepared to wait 45 mins to and hour on hold for customer service. Then get pawned off on your account manager. Its been 4 days since I emailed mine and nothing. Emailed again today and now she is out until Tuesday. Currently been waiting 55 mins and 12 seconds for customer service again.
  • Internet based. Cannot record any sales without internet.
  • The reports section is not as customizable as I'd prefer.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I love ShopKeep they are an amazingly easy POS system with many benefits including, inventory tracking, easy to print UPC's, purchases, returns all at a really great month to month price.

Cons

  • If I have to dislike something about ShopKeep it may be that after the 2 hour tutorial for setting ShopKeep up your kind of left hanging by customer service.
